Your original request has been modified. "Android Development Tools" is already installed, so an update will be performed instead. Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534) Missing requirement: Android Traceview 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.group 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534) requires 'org.eclipse.core.runtime 3.6.0' but it could not be found

Answer 1

http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html

you can see ADT 16.0.0+ requires Eclipse Helios (Version 3.6), so I think you need ADT 15.0.1

Answer 3

You download the SDK for your OS. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html If you use windows, I recommend the exe file for you. http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

• Ash: my os is windows 7 AG by ambala gurmeet. does the os has anything to do with the error?
• viplezer: there's some problem in eclipse update method, this is why your adt can not be updated. maybe you should try to delete everything what is related with the eclipse and reinstall everything (or try to delete the adt itself from eclipse and reinstall it)
• Ash: thnx and how do i reinstall the plugin? i cant find the option anywhere
• viplezer: after remove, you can install it this way: developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing

You can download the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/ index.html. Once the SDK is downloaded, unzip its content (the android-sdk-windows folder) into the C:\Android\ folder, or whatever name you have given to the folder you just created.

Once Eclipse is up and running, select the Help>> Install New Software In the Install window that appears, type http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse in the text and click Add
