Latest ADT Bundle...

Hi... I'm having issue setting up the latest ADT bundle...API 20 KikatWear or API 21 L Preview I followed the installation instruction as stated; unziped the files to a folder. I also downloaded and installed the latest jdk.

When i double click the Eclipse.exe, it gives me a purple Eclipse Juno logo different from the previous version which had a green ADT logo. Then after it loaded, the interface seems different. It looks that the "perspective" is set to "resources' as default rather java. I changed the perspective to java but the interface is still lack a few familiar options

I tried making a new android application but after the set up option; it does not show any ; main activity or fragment....it does not even show the "hello World " interface. I believe that adt or sdk is not loading correctly, so how do i fix it?

Look I'm a newbie in Android development. This my attempt to create my first hello world project but i'm a bit confused here. I tried downloading a previous adt bundle API 19 and it has the correct interface and seems to work as stated in the lessons tutorial....though when i press "check for update" it says there is no update.

I would appreciate any help to properly set up the latest adt bundle on the android developer site.

I am in the same boat. It looks like its a bug with there new version of the ADT. I have been trying for 2 days to get it too work but no luck Here is a like to the issue. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=72419

I see..We'll have to use an older version in the meantime. Thanks for ur feedback.

So after 2 days of fighting with the new version of the bundle (I deleted my older versions) i finally resolved my issue. Simply download Eclipse separately, and then upgrade the ADT separately through the independent download of Eclipse. Just don't get ride of your current SDK, Eclipse will pick it up automatically or you can set it manually if need be. However after doing this, I was finally able to create a new project.

Which eclipse should i download: luna ,,,juno?

I have not been able to make anything at all Even the simplest "Hello world"...when i tried to run it on the emulator ..it giving some sort of error.

i used luna, however i only got as far last night to check that the src and layout were being created i have not tried to run anything on a emulator yet.
