You may need to use an older version of the Eclipse ADT in case you have a custom setup that depends on Google's earlier build system standards. Where on the web can you find the older versions of the ADT and how do you install them in Eclipse?

You can find the old versions of the ADT at the following URLs (it looks like Google keeps them around, but doesn't advertise how to locate them).

You can use these in Eclipse by first downloading the desired ADT zip to your local drive, then choosing "Install New Software", "Add Site", "Archive".

  • And how to get old SDK (Revisions)? – Faizan Mubasher Apr 11 '14 at 10:45
  • I;ve downgraded the SDK to 22.3.0, but when I try to load the archive file for ADT 22.3.0, it fails with one of the lines reading `"Android DDMS" will be ignored because a newer version is already installed.` And I can't uninstall 22.6 because it says another application is dependent on it. – dbconfession May 13 '14 at 22:56

this page always has the latest ADT available as a zip file

http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html

and you can use the wayback machine to find older versions of that page, with a link to the older version of ADT

http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
