Installation of Android in windows system.

The following assume that you have already Eclipse installed. For details please see Eclipse Tutorial .

Android SDK

Download the Android SDK from the Android homepage under Android SDK download . The download contains a zip file which you can extract to any place in your file system, e.g. I placed it under "c:\android-sdk-windows". Avoid using spaces in the path name otherwise you may experience problems later.

Eclipse

Use the Eclipse update manager to install all available plugins for the Android Development Tools (ADT) from the URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ .

 Configuration

In Eclipse open the Preferences dialog via Windows -> Preferences. Select Android and enter the installation path of the Android SDK.

Setting up the Android SDK in the Eclipse Preferences

Select Window -> Android SDK and AVD Manager from the menu.

Starting ADV Manager

Select "Available packages" and open the "Third Party Add-ons". Select the Google API 10 (Android 2.3.4) version of the SDK. We are using the Google version as this includes also the Google Maps which we might want to use later at a certain point.

Install Android API

Press "Install selected" and confirm the license for all package. After the installation restart Eclipse.
