I tried to download the Development tools for the Android SDK last night and have been getting this error every time I try to download it ever since:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Android Development Tools 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534)

I've tried running Eclipse as an administrator, downloading the Google Plugin for Eclipse Galileo, and many assortment of things, but nothing seems to work. Is there a Google plugin for 4.1.0, would I have to reinstall an earlier version of Eclipse, or am I missing something else entirely?

NB: I've been using Windows 7 64-bit Eclipse 4.1.0, as well as the 64-bit version of JDK 1.7.

  1. android sdk dosen't support JDK 1.7, use 1.6.
  2. you should use Eclipse 3.7. Eclipse 4.* is a work in progress and shouldn't be used in production environments yet.

  • I'll try your idea. I'll return after about an hour or so after deleting my files and starting fresh. – Rxanadu Jan 25 '12 at 21:12
  • I'm having trouble adding my new jre to the eclipse path: I've downloaded the JDK 1.6 and Eclipse 3.7, but eclipse cannot find my jre even though I've copied the jre6 folder to the eclipse root folder. – Rxanadu Jan 25 '12 at 21:45
  • Forget it; I found the right jre folder in the jdk 1.6 folder. Now, I'm having the similar problems I experience with 1.7: the Developer Tools aren't downloading. I'll try running eclipse as administrator and see what happens. – Rxanadu Jan 25 '12 at 21:51
  • Just downloaded, but I had to fly through some hoops to get it working: I had to download everything but the Android Development Tools the first go-around, then I was able to download the ADTs. Now, all I need to do is figure out how the actual ADT work for the Android SDK in Eclipse. I think I properly set up the SDK I downloaded last night, but I don't see anything different in Eclipse, aside from the SDK and AVD buttons on the upper toolbar. – Rxanadu Jan 25 '12 at 22:03
  • I was able to get everything working thanks to a YT tutorial (i.e. I found out how to set up an ADV, started a new project, and got the emulator working). Thanks again to those who helped out. – Rxanadu Jan 26 '12 at 02:19

You did not mention anything about the Android Development Tool (ADT) which is required to develop Android apps. You can get it from here, http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html You will need Android SDK r16

  • I downloaded that, as well. I have the following tools downloaded from the SDK Manager: Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools, all items for Android 4.0.3 (API15). Do I need more of these tools? – Rxanadu Jan 25 '12 at 21:00

Does my answer to this question help?

Also note that there have been some documented bugs with running Eclipse in JDK 1.7 - make sure you have the very latest updates to JDK or use 1.6 instead.
