Android Plugin for Eclipse IDE: No option for "Android Project"
http://7oeyuq.bay.livefilestore.com/...ect.png?psid=1
And this is WITH the ADT Eclipse plugin installed. |
Still no help? Is there ANYONE who can help me get this corrected?

Moving to Programming per OP request, BUT:
Kenny; 3 hours does not qualify as a significant delay at LQ. Please keep in mind the 2 magic words to get help here: "Please" and "Patience"---this thread appears to be missing both..... |

There is only one programming language that you can develop for Android in, and that's (compiled) Java. I already am learning the basics per these tutorials. |

First show a working code of yours in Java. |
Hi,
did you - install the sdk (http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html) properly - install the adt as described here (http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html) - completed the hello world tutorial which explains how to use eclipse (http://developer.android.com/resourc...llo-world.html) ? Also, which version of eclipse do you have? You need 3.4 or higher to use it for android development. |

And you are wrong about development for Android only in Java: http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html : Code:

read the links from my previous post. You don't HAVE to use eclipse but you are encouraged to, since it will make development a little bit more comfortable. You also don't HAVE to program in JAVA. You can also develop in c for android. However, it is commonly discouraged unless you really have some cpu consuming tasks to implement. The standard for developing apps for android is java. |

http://developer.android.com/guide/t...damentals.html Look in this article and you'll find that Android already defines most Java classes needed to create an application. All that's needed is calling upon those classes and functions to do the work. And even if I have to define a new class or function, I can use those other classes/functions as part of my definition. And the omission of functions like main() mean that there's no main entry point for an Android application. That's great; I can create an application that's less tedious to write because the compiler is not as picky. Just some of the many things that help make Android easier than standard Java. Couple this with Eclipse, with its interactive correction menus that give me a list of options for Eclipse to do for me like import Android-defined classes, define my own classes, or many other things in response to an error and it gets even easier. Back on topic: Eclipse with Android did work under my old user account. I deleted the user account (but kept its files) and ported my old files over to it because Network Manager was acting up under it, but had to reinstall the Android Eclipse plugin. Upon reinstalling the Android plugin and restarting, that's when I couldn't find "Android Project" in the "New > Project" window, as you see in the screenshot. |

It doesn't matter if you are a newbie or not you are encouraged to use eclipse anyway. I was merely pointing out that this is not absolutely mandatory as you said in your previous post. Quote:
It does not matter that eclipse was working because now apparently it is not. And that means that you have to completely reconfigure it. If that does not help uninstall, reinstall and then reconfigure it. It appears that you are not following any advice that has been given to you. Instead you keep posting that it does not work. Well, it sure won't fix itself. |

To me, code that has less obfuscation is easier to understand. |

having looked into some of your other posts in the meantime. It appears that you do not unserstand the basic principles of programming. That's OK, we all had to start at some point. However, from what I have seen so far, it appears that you are trying to learn a lot of languages at the same time. So far you tried to program in C/C++, JAVA and also in GO. It appears that you never took the time to learn one language properly. So my advice would be, pick a language that appeals to you and stick with it for a year or maybe even two. Then, after you feel comfortable programming with it, you can pick the next one to learn. You will then notice that you will learn the second one a lot faster then the first one. However, I have a feeling that you already have been given such advice. |

Your Eclipse + Java + Android are the tank. |
Back on topic, sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install-ing Eclipse had no effect. Reinstalling the Android plugin (repeatedly) had no effect.I still cannot find the "Android Project" option. The only other option I see is completely purging Eclipse and all dependencies (including configuration files) and then reinstalling it.

Ok, really? All you guys (except Kenny Strawn) made all those posts just to argue about whether or not you need eclipse to develop? God damn flamers.....
Anyways, I just wanted to throw in my two cents. I've been having the same problems and it's ever since I upgraded my Ubuntu system to 10.10. I have tried completely uninstalling the SDK, the ADT and Eclipse 3.5, then tried reinstalling it all, but to no avail. |
So after some more looking around I discovered that the geniuses at xda have already figured it out. I can confirm that it works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=8588938 Here's the quote from that thread: [SOLVED] Go to the eclipse website, download Eclipse for linux, uninstall your old eclipse, extract your new eclipse wherever and go into the folder and click the application button titled eclipse. Then reinstall all the android stuff. |
I had this same problem for a while. Couldn't find a solution by googling so I hope this helps people like me.
Using Ubuntu 11.04 and eclipse galileo. I solved it by removing the android packages, then exiting eclipse, running eclipse as root(sudo eclipse), installing the android development tools there. (I had to add galileo repo as well as google-android to avoid another error message.) When I started eclipse as a normal user later, it had the Android option under preferences etc. |
No android option
When you drop down File>new you can find android under "other"
Took me ages to find this, hope it helps others starting out with eclipse. |
