I recently downloaded all the latest updates for my eclipse/Android plugins (before the upgrades everything worked fine). I got everything to work except when i try to create a new project I get a message that I need Android support library revision 8. I click Install/Upgrade and It proceeds to download and install the library. When it finishes the tiny download/install window disappears but the window which informs me that i need Android support library revision 8 remains open and i cant click finish to create new project. I tried closing the window and eclipse and trying it again but it always leads me to the window which states I need the Android support library revision 8. I didnt move eclipse to any other location and I am wondering what is wrong.

I had a problem before with an ! in my eclipse path and eclipse wouldnt work because of exit error 13. I posted a question about it before. My answer explains what has happened and the easy fix.

I am wondering what is wrong now. Do i need to manually link the support library? Im really frustrated because its taking me forever to set this up.

Update: I tried restarting eclipse and reinstalling the library multiple times.

I upgraded the android sdk tools and sdk platform-tools before i installed the support libraries.

For, this i've downloaded that support library using Install/Upgrade and in my path E:/Android/Android-Sdk/extras/android/compaitability I've changed the name of compaitability as support and after just restarted my Eclipse. Its working fine.

Hope these helps you.

  • Thanks a lot! Other then a small typo in Support which made me restart eclipse twice. Everything worked out great :D. Thank you for your help!! (the folder should be **support** not **Support**) – Xitcod13 Jul 18 '12 at 12:19

    This issue posted [here](https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=33859#makechanges). Its more than year passed, but it is not resolved. Very frustrating. For me, for android api 17 and support library rev.13, I copied `android-sdk\android-compatibility` folder to `android-sdk\extras\android` and renamed it `compatibility`, so it became `android-sdk\extras\android\compatibility`. It helps me. – kio21 Jul 17 '13 at 05:24
  • Instead of copying anything, I made a symlink at `/extras/android/compatibility` to `/android-compatibility`. (`/extras/android> mklink /D compatibility ../../android-compatibility`) – palswim Jul 26 '13 at 21:12

Try updating android sdk tools and sdk platform-tools and restart eclipse? ADT has dependencies on these.
