[UPDATED #2] Installing Eclipse ADT

Well, since I don’t want to mess with the original post, so here it is : the second update for the said article.

So, I got more errors when tinkering (or should I say playing?) with Help -> Install New Software option in Eclipse Juno which previously returned failed. I tried to install again and get error like “No repository found containing: osgi.bundle,com.android.ide.eclipse.adt,23.0.4.1468518”. And they were many. So I googled and stumbled to this article and do exactly what it says. So, that’s one problem solved.

I’m now waiting for the ADT tools to install the extras requirements. Oh, I forgot to mention that you have to install KVM in order to launch the Android Emulator of ADT. I’ll update as soon as it’s finished. On the spare time, I will do an online course on Java Script by Code Academy.

UPDATE :

So, the installation succeeded. But I decided to ditch the Eclipse ADT while still retain the installation. Why? Because I don’t really like Java and because to code in Eclipse ADT means I have to use Java again. I decided to stick to Python, Ruby on Rails, and Java Script. WHy retain the installation? Well.. because I feel that it would be a waste of my time and my internet quota if I don’t so. Moreover, who knows if in the future I will find my interest in Java.

[UPDATE] Installing Eclipse ADT

Well.. I’m in love with Android since its first public iteration (namely Cupcake). You may not believe in love at first sight, but I surely was falling in love at the first sight with Android. And now, after years of development, I finally tried to make something. Not for public, at least not at the very first time I try to make something. I’ll use it on my virtual Nexus 7 on Geny Motion running KitKat. Why KitKat? because I haven’t got my hands on Lollipop, duh.

The installation file was pretty huge. Nautilus read it as 372.3 MiB zipped. And yet, I still got to update the SDK. What a bandwidth-hungry SDK.. It is still installing as I writing this. I’ll update soon after the installation finished.

 

UPDATE

Well, here’s the update. It turned out that the SDK really ate my storage. I currently only have 200ish MiB from the original 1.6 GiB storage before I install the SDK. And that makes I virtually unable to do anything with the SDK. I still can manipulate the /home storage (which, fortunately, still has 8ish GiB). And I wonder where did the SDK put the downloaded packages before they are installed, I mean, kinda like package manager (would it be APT or Pacman) cache. Too bad. Too bad  indeed.
