Android Windows SDK installer woes [solved]
-
The MonoDroid[^] installation procedure requires that I first install the Java 1.6 SDK (not just the JRE), followed by the Android SDK. The JDK installed without a hitch, after which I rebooted my system. The JDK shows up in my list of installed apps. When I run the Android SDK installer[^], I'm greeted with a warning saying the installer can't continue because I first need to install the JDK. WTF, Google? :| Anyone else having this problem? /ravi

I had the same problem, But not sure what I did, (I had rebooted, checked that the javac is in the path, etc ,etc) but multiple times back and forward and then keeping the window open (with the warning message) fixed it. :confused: Installation on Linux was painless.

you must make sure you have the java crap in your system path... 32 bit or 64? either way make absolutely sure you have the same bit version for the java and the android sdk and have you considered using Eclipse for Android development? I use it myself and it integrates fairly nice. haven't tried mono myself as Eclipse is 100% free and I think mono is a paid for plugin that the trial version only runs against the emulator and not live?
Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning.
I manually added
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\(WinXP, 32bit) to the path, confirmed that it's all good (by invokingjavacfrom the command line) and reran the Android installer - still no luck. [rant] You'd think Google - with all their might and muscle - would have the ability to create a (signed, please) installer that actually works. Oh wait a minute - they haven't fixed the annoying IE combo dropdown bug for close to a year. I suppose an installer's too much to expect. :thumbsdown: [/rant] /raviMy new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Thanks - that worked. /ravi

I know you already solved this but for future searches..., my Android SDK installation issues were associated with bit-ness. I had installed 64 bit JDK, but seems that Android only plays nice with the 32 bit JDK.
*bzzzzzzt* wrong answer! works fine for me in glorious 64bit goodness ;)

Lauren, were you able to get a HelloWorld app running on the emulator in x64? Also, are you able to stop at breakpoints set in your app's (not library) code? Finally, did you have to hack the Android manifest file to set the target version to 11 (Android 3.0)? Thanks, /ravi

Drat. I knew there was a catch. :) /ravi

Hi. I use Win7 x64 at my office and at home and in both systems I installed JDK x32 followed by the Android SDK with no problems and no need to reboot. I hope you have already solved your troubles. Cheers!

Thanks. Are you using MonoDroid or Java? I almost got MonoDroid to work. Deployment to the emulator appears to be broken (version mismatch). Hacking the Android manifest didn't get me very far. I decided to try the Eclipse route, and found running Eclipse.exe briefly displays the splash screen and nothing else. The web has old references to Eclipse startup errors. Unfortunately yet another reminder that despite flames against Microsoft, they provide the best (imho) tooling. I'll try installing the JDK and Eclipse on a fresh Win7-64 box and see if that gets me further. Hopefully it will. :) /ravi

I've been running Eclipse for over a year now and have installed it 5 or 6 times all told on different machines with no troubles. I will say this however... When you run .exe with it it can take a couple of minutes to fire up but after that I have found it to be responsive. I have used it on XP, vista, win7 32 and 64 bit.

Hello again! I am using Java. I followed this tutorial on setting up a computer for Android development: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html[^] I had never used Eclipse (I use Netbeans for Java development) but I have had no problems at all. Maybe it would help if you read the docs at android.com. We all are short on time but I have found that a good reading before starting to use a new tool always helps. Cheers!

I might give that a try. I've used Eclipse for Java development before without problems - I'm surprised I'm running into these issues today.

Read and followed. I actually like reading (and writing) docs. :) Thanks, /ravi

I still wan't able to get my MonoDroid app onto the emulator. So I bit the bullet and decided to code it in Java (using Eclipse and ADT) and ran into a similar problem. The emulator starts but my breakpoints don't seem to be reached. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid (I made sure I'm debugging, not just running) but don't know what. :) /ravi

Hi. I had had the same problem but after I added the path I pressed the Back button (I guess it was Back :) then again Next\Ok or whatewer and then in a magical way the JDK has been found by the Installer. Yes, they did f..ked this up.
Yes, that ended up working for me too. Now if I could only get Eclipse to stop at the breakpoints in my Android app... :) /ravi
