79 PointsI can't get API 19 to display in list
Hello!
I am doing the Ribbit app and I am unable to select the proper API.
When I select new project and go to select the Target SDK, it only goes up to API 18.
In the SDK manager, I have 4.4.2 (API 19) > Documentation for Android SDK, SDK platform, Samples for SDK, and ARM EABI v7a System installed and it has no effect.
I have made sure that my Android SDK tools are all up to date and I have gone to Help > Check for updates and it says "No updates were found". The only clue I can sorta find is when I start, it says I have Eclipse 2.2 and I need to update, but even if I click update, nothing actually happens. Restarting my computer has also not helped.

79 PointsI followed these steps and it fixed it:
1.Download the ADT-22.6.2 Plugin zip file (do not unpack it). 2.Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software. 3.Click Add, in the top-right corner. 4.In the Add Repository dialog, click Archive. 5.Select the downloaded ADT-22.6.2.zip file and click OK. 6.Enter "ADT Plugin" for the name and click OK. 7.In the Available Software dialog, select the checkbox next to Developer Tools and click Next. 8.In the next window, you'll see a list of the tools to be downloaded. Click Next. 9.Read and accept the license agreements, then click Finish. If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or validity of the software can't be established, click OK. 10.When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.

Treehouse TeacherIs it possible that you have more than one version of the SDK installed? Check where your SDK location for Eclipse is set by going to ADT (or Windows) > Preferences, select Android, and look in the location for "SDK Location" at the top. Then go there in a file browser and see if it matches what you expect. Click on "platforms" in the SDK folder to see the installed platforms.
