Build the Eclipse development environment for Android under Mac

A. The next download of Eclipse

To the website: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, because we are developed in Java, the steps are as follows:

1. Find "Eclipse IDE for Java developers" here the upper right corner is automatically selected based on the system you are currently using, and the bit "Mac OS X (Cocoa)" is automatically selected under Mac.
2. Then click on the right of "Mac OS X 64bit" (Here my Pro is the i5 processor can be used in 64-bit), depending on your machine can also choose "Mac OS X 32bit" to download.

Two Installing ADT

ADT is the development environment for Android applications

Online installation, there would have been an offline installation, but I tried to download the offline installation package but did not find a place to download, so here I mainly describe how to install online.

1. In the menu, click help--> Install New software?;
2. In the pop-up dialog there is a "work with" and enter it in the right input field: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/and then a "Developer Tools" will be pending. Tick on, then the next go down can be installed to complete.

three. setting up ADT

In the menu bar refactor if you can see the Android label indicates that the ADT installation was successful.

1 Download Android SDK

Open Web site: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Select the SDK version of Mac OS X (Intel) for download (because my Pro is Intel's i5 processor)

2 Installing the Android SDK

Just download the SDK file for Mac version is: "Android-sdk-mac_x86.rar" file, unzip it out, then run Tools/android, in the popup Android SDK and AVD Manager dialog box, select installed packages on the left and the SDK currently installed is listed on the right, click "Update All" below and then step by step to download all versions of the Android SDK and install it.

Then in the menu bar eclipse-> Preferences (preferences), will pop up a Preferences dialog box, choose Android, and then fill in the SDK loaction the path of the SDK just downloaded or click on the right of the browser selection.

3 Build Simulator

The menu bar window-> Android SDK and AVD Manger will pop up the dialog, then select New in the dialog box to start creating the simulator as you want, and you're done!
