Eclipse Problems

Hello I have been having some problems with the Eclipse program that the Android tract uses. When I started out the program was working fine, and my class mates are using the exact same program as me and theirs are working fine.

I have been using the Eclipse version that was downloaded from the Treehouse site, and it seems to not know where anything is, none of the proper files or anything.

The error messages are as below

These are the problems that I've been having open

I also included the image of my SDK manager. I understand that Ben said not to put it the users directory, but that is how we have to do things at my school.

You need to find your android SDK folder and update Eclipse with that path. First, find where you put the folder. Here's a screenshot of what my folder looks like, so you can compare when you find it. http://imgur.com/bsKO8ps If you don't have the folders that I do, something might have gotten deleted.

Once you find where your sdk folder is, go to Window -> Preferences. Select Android and set the SDK Location to whatever the path to your sdk is. Here's a screenshot of mine. http://imgur.com/WEM5EZV
