First contact with the SDK manager
You can use the SDK manager at anytime to update components or install new ones. Once the
installation process is finished, you can move on to the next step in setting up your
development environment.
Installing Eclipse
Eclipse comes in several different flavors. For Android developers, we suggest using Eclipse for
Java Developers version 3.7.2, code named “Indigo.� Similar to the Android SDK, Eclipse comes
in the form of a ZIP or tar gzip package. Simply extract it to a folder of your choice. Once the
package is uncompressed, you can create a shortcut on your desktop to the
eclipse
executable
in the root directory of your Eclipse installation.
The first time you start Eclipse, you will be prompted to specify a workspace directory. Figure
2-2
shows you the dialog.
