This article describes how to setup Eclipse on Fedora 15 for developing Android Apps

Before you start you might want to have a look at the system requirements for developing Android applications using the Android SDK:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html

Step 1: install eclipse

run the following command as root:

# yum install eclipse

(...)
xml-commons-resolver        noarch  1.2-7.fc15                  fedora   106 k

Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Install      60 Package(s)

Total download size: 198 M
Installed size: 478 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y

Step 2: download Android SDK

download the sdk from this page http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html via browser or with wget:

wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz

Step 3: extract the sdk

If you have downloaded the tar to your $HOME directory, change to that directory and extract the archive:

cd
tar -xvf android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz

Step 3: Install the ADT Plugin

start eclipse and then go to "Help" --> "Install new software..."

Then click on the "Add..." button:

...and enter the URL for the ADT plugin (https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/):

Select the developer tools:

click next:

accept the license agreement and click the "Finish" button:

Wait until the software is installed...

At the end eclipse will ask you if you want to restart the application. Click the "Restart Now" button:

If you then see a message like "Could not find folder 'tools' inside SDK ...":

click "OK" and go to Window --> Preferences:

And set the correct location for the SDK:

Then go to "Window" --> "Android SDK and AVD Manager"

Click on "Available Packages" and select the Platform you need. Then click on "Install Selected"

and again, accept the license:

Ok, now everything is set up to create a Virtual Android Device. Go to "Window" --> "Android SDK and AVD Manager" and click on "new":

Ok, I think that's it. Have fun :)
