ADT plugin doesn't show up in Eclipse

I've followed the instruction here for installing ADT, but I don't see any sign of ADT in Eclipse, except that it's installed.

According to what it says here, I should have additional project templates, which are missing. See the screenshots:

Besides reinstalling eclipse and reloading the ADT I have found another solution :

Inside Eclipse ->Window ->Customize Perspective ->Command Groups Availability ->Check All Android groups -> OK

That should solve any issues. Currently there are four (4) android groups.

Good luck guys!

I think you have to update JDK. Please check JDK version.

#java -version

I've meet same problem when I use JDK 1.5 on ubuntu.

I'm on Ubuntu and had the same problem as the poster. Had to run Eclipse as sudo and do the ADT install (into the same workspace as my non-root user account).

Restarted Eclipse as a non-root user and everything works.

When you load the Android ADT plugins, using Help -> Install New Software, you need to have started Eclipse with "run as administrator". If you installed the ADT plugins without having run Eclipse as administrator, it might not work when you go to Windows -> Preferences...., and Android doesn't appear in the left panel.

The answer is here: Android ADT Plugin doesn't show up in Eclipse

Actually, running as administrator on Win7 worked for me after uninstalling ADT.

Another thing is to execute eclipse with the parameter -clean after uninstalling ADT.

Somehow, your installation didn't register properly. Try removing ADT and reinstalling it.

To uninstall, go to Window > Preferences > Install/Upload, then click on the "Uninstall or update" link. Find ADT (and related software), remove, then try to reinstall.

You Simply need to Download the ADT Plugin. Please look at step by step guide here.

  1. Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software....
  2. Click Add, in the top-right corner.
  3. In the Add Repository dialog that appears, enter "ADT Plugin" for the Name and the following URL for the Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

  4. Click OK Note: If you have trouble acquiring the plugin, try using "http" in the Location URL, instead of "https" (https is preferred for security reasons).

  5. In the Available Software dialog, select the checkbox next to Developer Tools and click Next.

  6. In the next window, you'll see a list of the tools to be downloaded. Click Next.

  7. Read and accept the license agreements, then click Finish.

    Note: If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or validity of the software can't be established, click OK.

  8. When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.
