So I am trying to create an apk via eclipse for a small app I created (one of my first) but after going through several tutorials I can't find the android option which is suppose to present in Export. My Eclipse version is Mars.2 Release (4.5.2). I am using Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.

Debug apk is built every time a change is made if `Build Automatically` is enabled. For release apk see here: [Android Application APK signing?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1916053/android-application-apk-signing) – Daniel Nugent Mar 01 '16 at 23:24

In my eclipse I have a Android selection after general. Have you added the Andriod packages to eclipse? – cliff2310 Mar 01 '16 at 23:27

You have to install the sdk first. It's not included in eclipse.
How to setup eclipse for android app development
A personal recommendation: Use Android Studio, you will have to get used to it but after 3 months I prefer it over eclipse. Also you should consider it since google stopped supporting Eclipse. android studio is the official android IDE
