I want install android on my computer but using the sdk it fails to download the packages due to my speed i think. I have extensively googled for several days but could not find any result i found a page which showed a way using the abyss server to install but lost it due to a powercut and could not find it again. If any one could share a link or a tutorial of installing android sdk and using it with eclipse would be great help.

I think you should try following Step in Process of making Android Development Environment .

I hope you have already Eclipse .if you don't have then get it from here and Latest Eclipse is Version 3.7.Eclipse for Java

Step 2: As you have problem of internet speed try to Download Zip File of Latest ADT tool from this. Android ADT Plugin Use this ADT Zip describe in this SO -->SO link ADT install after done with add zip in Eclipse you need internet connection.

STEP 3: Now for Android SDK you can download this android-sdk_r17-windows.zip which have small size from this Developer Site -->Android SDK

when you put this Zip in your computer and unzip it and Download one of Android SDK Platform from this Site -->SDK Platform Offiine.

STEp 4: Now when you get one of SDK Platform you need to put that in this for Example in my PC .I have following path .

  E:\Android_development\android-sdk\platforms\put here your SDK Platform Folder.

your path of android-sdk may different .

STEP 5: don't forgot give Path of your Android-SDK to here in Eclipse.For give path go here in Eclipse

Window-->Preferences-->Android now in SDK Location Box Provide Location of Android SDK Some thing like this 

  E:\Android_development\android-sdk

  • Could you please elaborate on steps 4 and 5 as i placed my platforms folder in android sdk like "I:\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-4.0.3" but these changes are not reflected after performing step 5 – cornercoder Apr 07 '12 at 00:01
  • @cornercoder you have installed ADT plugins in your Eclipse and as you said that when you give path of android-sdk to Eclipse ,it does not show you any android Platform in list.make sure you have put unzip folder of android-4.0.4 in `android-sdk\platforms\`. – Herry Apr 07 '12 at 13:06
  • yes i have put the unzipped folders bro..this thing is now really depressing me – cornercoder Apr 08 '12 at 07:25

Go to http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, and select the sdk platform version you want to install and then copy paste the appropriate platform android-x_rxx-windows/linux/macosx.zip you want to setup,

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/android-x_rxx.zip

  • After you download it, go to your SDK-Installation-Path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms in Windows). Create a Folder named android x and extract all zip contents into the android x folder.

  • Close the SDK Manager and reopen it. You will find the SDK platform for the android x will be shown as installed.
