Difference between revisions of "Android : Install Eclipse Plugins Fedora"

Revision as of 11:59, 4 March 2011

For Android developent on Fedora you'll need the following:

Start with a clean install of Fedora 14, preferably from a live CD. For my examples I used the 64 bit edition.
When the install is complete, open a terminal window and run yum update to bring your system up to date. You may have to reboot once this is done.
Install Eclipse (Helios 3.6.1) with the command yum groupinstall "Fedora Eclipse".
That's it! You can now use Eclipse to build C, C++ or Java programs.

From the Eclipse Help menu select Install New Software
Click on Available Software Sites and check the box next to download.eclipse.org/releases/helios then click Ok
Back in the Available Software window click on the Add button and add the Android repository https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Check the box for Developer Tools
Once you review what will be downloaded, you'll need to check the box next to Accept the License then click Finish. Downloading of the plugin should start.
When the download completes you'll need to restart Eclipse.

Download the SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I downloaded the file android-sdk_r10-linux_x86.tgz
Unarchive the file using "tar xvzf android-sdk_r10-linux_x86.tgz"
You now have a directory named android-sdk-linux_x86/
Start Eclipse and from the Window menu select Preferences
Select Android and enter the location of your SDK and click Ok
From the Window menu select Android ADK and AVD Manager. Then select Available Packages.
Check the packaged you want to install. I selected
- Documentation for Android SDK, API 11, revision 1
- SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 2
- Samples for SDK API 8, revision 1
Click Install Selected and the download will begin.
