error installing ADT in Eclipse: no repository found

Question

I'm trying to install ADT in Eclipse, using the instructions on developer.android.com, but I'm getting an error...

What I did: I installed the android SDK with the recommended exe-installer (the r15-version). I downloaded 2 platforms with it (Android 4.0 and 2.1). Then I downloaded Eclipse Classic as recommended. I started Eclipse and added the plugin-repository. I get 4 packages from it, 3 of them I can install without problems, but the most important one (called "Android Development Tools" is throwing errors at me.

The error When I try to install that one, It will run for a long time, and during that time my internet connection is VERY slow, almost not working anymore. After that I get the message that the installation failed, and in the details it says:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

I tried googling the problem but all I found were answers related to Linux-systems, and I'm running Win7 (Home Premium SP1 64bit if that makes any difference...)

I also tried using the repository-link with http instead of https, and also tried removing the repository and adding it back, but no luck with those actions either.

Can anybody help?

Answer 1

I was running into this same problem. I finally checked and was using the https: Google server instead of http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ Switching the servers helped out. I found this in the troubleshooting section of installing-adt.

Answer 2

when you install the window installer downloaded in step-2 it would be install in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk

then click on Apply
