Update Eclipse with Android development tools v. 23

Question

I updated Eclipse with the new SDK tools (rev. 23), but now when Eclipse starts I receive the error:

This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolk

Answer 1

How to update from 22.xx.x to 23.0.2 (my solution). This will beat the dependency issues.

I was suffering from this issue for days, and I have tried every single solution on this link, but no luck. I finally figured out a solution that actually works!

Please note that this solution works in Windows 7 (64 bit). It should probably work for other Windows operating systems.

Here we go:

1. download the latest ADT bundle from

   http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download

2. unzip it and open "eclipse" folder --> "plugins" folder

3. Now go to your old eclipse and open "eclipse" folder --> "plugins" folder, and copy everything inside.

4. Now paste them into the "plugins" folder of the (NEW ECLIPSE), but DO NOT overwrite anything.

5. While inside of the "plugins" folder of your new Eclipse, do the search. Type in 22. (notice 22 with a dot) and hit enter.

6. The search result will show up all the files or folders with .....22.6...... For example,

   com.android.ide.eclipse.adt_**22.6.2**.v201403212031-1085508
   

7. Highlight all of these files/folders and hit delete key.

8. Make sure to update your old API/SDK to the latest version and load this sdk directory to work with your new eclipse.

or

You can watch this video, which shows you how to move all your SDK/API to your new SDK folder.

I have not tried to update from any other ADT versions, but I think it should work for any old ADT versions too.

Don't forget to backup stuff before attempting.
