64-bit Eclipse won't install .apk on Android emulator

Question

On Windows 7 64-bit, running Eclipse 3.6 64-bit, JDK (jdk1.6.0_23) 64-bit and Android 2.3 (bitness?), running a program via Eclipse\'s Run|Run (Ctrl+F11) invokes the android

Answer 1

OK, here is the final answer (as of today): Android development, using 64-bit JDK only, is not possible (yet).

If you install the 64-bit Eclipse and install only the 32-bit JDK, Eclipse will refuse to start.

So, if you decided to install the 64-bit Eclipse, you need to install both the 64-bit JDK and the 32-bit JDK.

Thereafter, even the infamous installer_r08-windows.exe will run (and even invoke "SDK Manager.exe" automatically for you).

But 64-bit Eclipse still won't install .apk on Android emulator.

Conclusion: Google is absolutely correct in stating that Android is not supported (yet) under 64-bit Windows. The fact that some geniuses manages to do some magic to make their environment work is beyond me.
