Android ADT plugin problems

Question

I got this problem when I am trying to do the ADT plugin step and need some helps.

The error is as follow:

Answer 1

Ideally I would suggest to download a lower version of eclipse (lower than 3.7). But 3.7 works okay.

If you are just setting up your android sdk now... you should not be getting this problem.

if you are updating android environment through

you can follow these steps

help > check for updates

and accept the terms and install the updates.

remove the adt plug-in and reinstall it as suggested in developer site: http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html

it will now install the eclipse supperted android tools such as DDMS etc (version 15.0....)

that should solve your problem.

Answer 2

I had the exact same problem today though versions of ADT was 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 and Eclipse SDK 3.7.2.M20120208-0800 (Indigo)

International Components for Unicode for Java (ICU4J) 4.4.2.v20110823... International Components for Unicode for Java (ICU4J) 4.0.1.v20090822... International Components for Unicode for Java (ICU4J) 4.4.2.v20090415...

OS: Windows Vista 32 bit

What solved it for me was ensuring my account had full permissions over the folders where eclipse was installed, then it installed without missing a beat.
