Answer 2

i tried everything/....but only this thing worked for me:

To fix this, I went to help - Install New Software... - from the "work with" drop-down box I selected http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ - I then check marked "Developer Tools" and hit the Next button. I then followed the prompts and it basically did a re-install. It took less than 5 minutes. That resolved the error.

Now Im back up and running, and I got the lastest version of Eclipse.

Thanks a lot Nadir

Here is, how I've handled this issue (Mac OS X 10.8.4):

1) Because I previously have installed Android Studio the sdk located here: Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk

You can dig into Android Studio.app folder by hitting "Show package contents" in context menu

2) Simply copy the "sdk" folder to another location and write it down to Eclipse preferences. Because I couldn't find how to properly add adress like "/Android Studio.app/sdk" (folder with .app extension) to Eclipse preferences.

I know that this solution is not smooth and best, but it works (at least for me). And I've tried all advices in this theme, and installed the ADT from http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ before, but the error window have kept appearing every time.

Answer 4

I got this message after updating eclipse platform-tools and tools from the SDK Manager and then it was impossible to update the SDK path because I had an old version of ADT plugin.

Whenever you get this error message in a prompt right after eclipse loaded, you should do the following:

1. Go to Help - Install new software
2. Click on Available software sites
3. Delete the link http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
4. Reboot eclipse
5. Go to Help - Install new software
6. In the box "Work with" add http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ again
7. Install ADT and accept whatever that prompts.

This is how my problem with this message got solved.

Answer 5

Simply create this folder:

C:\Users\xxxxx\android-sdk\tools

and then from Window -> Preferences -> Android, put this path:

 C:\Users\xxxxx\android-sdk
