Trying to configure eclipse for android development

Question

i have been trying to configure eclispe to work with the ADT plugin to no avail. The android tutorials also haven't helped. I have added the relevant site needed for new software install in the SDK I get this error.

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

HELP!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

My guess is that you are running on a 64-bit system and have 64-bit Java installed. For reasons I can't fathom, you need to have both 32-bit and 64-bit Java installed. Only then should you run the SDK starter package and then install the ADT plugin for Eclipse. (If you already installed the plugin, remove it before starting all this.)

Answer 2

Are you on Windows 7/Vista? You need to have Admin Privileges to install the SDK Components.

ALso it might be that your site list is corrupted/bad. Similar Post on SOF with similar problem
