... android-sdk_rxx-windows.zip)
After the downloading process is completed, you can extract the package and save it in a location inside a folder in a drive. You can save it in any location. Hence, you have to ensure there is no space character in file path.
Then open SDK Manager and select what SDK Platform you want to install. You can also install add-ons, documentation, and code samples.
It is to be noted that if you face any problem while downloading SDK platform due to a slow connection or may be use it through office proxy server then you may download the SDK package directly from dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml and addons from dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addon.xml using your web browser.
After this you could have completed Android SDK installation.
Installing Eclipse IDE and ADT Plugin
Download the latest Eclipse IDE from: eclipse. org/downloads/. You can use Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.
Once the download is complete, you can extract the package and save it in into a folder.
In the next step, open Eclipse IDE and select Window > Preferences.
Choose Android and set your SDK location. Then click on Apply and then OK.
In the next step, you should install Eclipse ADT plug in by choosing Help> Install New Software
Choose Add then Type Eclipse ADT in the Name field and dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ for Location.
Then check Developer Tools and click Next for installation. Accept all agreements and follow the installation instructions.
At this step, you could have completed Eclipse IDE and ADT Plugin installation.
