Hi ,

Quick update, I found out my ISP was for some reason blocking the urls to the update !! When I used my 3G connection I was able to update correctly

Cheers,

Hi,

I have downloaded the SDK R6 some time ago and now when I try to update to load the android platforms I get the following error:
“Failed to fetch URL http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Software caused connection abort: recv failed ”

I have tried re-installing and it doesn’t work, any ideas?

Thanks,

Se7s

Greetings.

Do I have to create a Java application before entering details such as

Application name: My App
Package name: com.mycompany.myapp
Create Activity: MainActivity

No icon on the right displays ‘Workbench’.

I get an error message saying ’2 errors, 0 warnings’.

The errors say ‘Build path Build Path Problem’

@bugmenot Yes. After unzipping the Android SDK and then running “SDK Setup.exe”, the Android 2.2 platform should be one of the options. All platform version specific files are downloaded from the “SDK Setup.exe” utility (not by finding any files in your browser). If you are saying that you have to download from another computer than the one you will do your development on, I’m not sure exactly what has to be done. From your downloaded installation, you should be able to copy the folder ../platforms/android-8 to your other development machine to get the Android 2.2 platform files, but I suspect you might have to reference this in some more places in order to have it show up in Eclipse etc. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about the specifics.
