Eclipse not opening! HELP! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, so I decided to develop an app for Android, just for experience.
I got SDK installed on C:Android\android-sdk-windows folder and then I downloaded eclipse on C:\User\KyoKeun file. When I opened the eclipse.exe, it popped up the error message saying: Could not open C:Android\android-sdk-windows\lib\amd64\ (Then I forgot the rest)
Does anyone know what to do? I am running on 64-bit version of Windows btw

First, check that lib path with Windows Explorer. If it exists, run Eclipse with Administrator rights. Otherwise, download 64-bit SDK (not sure, if there's two versions).

Nope, only 32-bit version of android-sdk is available at the moment.
Maybe its messing with JDK path or whatsoever, not sure.

I think your post fits better in the "Android Development" forums, since this forum is aimed at making roms. You'll get more response there.
Thread moved to Android section.
Make sure your Java is up to date, check out the java website and install JDK

Android SDK Setup - Java is not found in your PATH.

Hi,
I am new to Android. I have downloaded and installed every necessary component in order to start working with Android. The issue I am having is that in Command Prompt, anything I type in related to the Android SDK (for example: adb, or even just android) comes back with "Java was not found in your path". Now, I have changed all my PATH variables under "User" to the EXACT locations of where these folders are, but no dice. It keeps telling me to go and edit my PATH variables. Even running SDK Setup, gives me the same error, and tells me to add where Java was found (even though I have!).
I am starting to get really fed up with this, because Eclipse can't find the "jre" folder inside the Java JDK, either (that is, of course, until I copy the entire jre folder inside of the eclipse folder, or put eclipse inside of the JDK folder)...
I just know it shouldn't have to be this tedious to set everything up and I would really appreciate it if someone can help with this
I am running Java JDK 1.6.0_21 (x64), Eclipse Helios (3.6) IDE for Java EE Dev., Android SDK Revision 6, all on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Something to note: I have not encountered any problems with Eclipse Helios and the ADT plugin as stated on the Android Developers website. I can use Eclipse and the SDK to create and run the"Hello, Android!" application on the emulators without issues. I just want to be able to run everything from the command prompt, too. Now, if I can only get my phone to be recognized after I get this resolved.
I also need this for rooting and unlocking the phone.

In the SDK tools folder go to libs and edit find_java.bat.
Change all instances of %PROGRAMFILES% to %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% .
I had to do this for my SDK.
Your java will probably still resides in c:\program files (x86)\java or the likes.
To test if it works open DDMS.bat(May need to open twice).
I ran "ddms.bat" before changing the "find_java.bat", and it just came up that it could not find the path > checking if it is installed elsewhere. I did what you suggested (I found three instances of where I needed to add the (x86)), ran "ddms.bat", and got the same error. However, this time it also opened the Dalvik Debug Monitor. Eclipse still won't run without its own copy of the "jre" folder from the JDK at the same folder level as the "eclipse.exe"...
any luck with this? I'm also having same trouble in Win7x64
Gonna give in otherwise n reboot my ubuntu system see if thats any easier
i know i can't use OpenJDK or something so ill have to swap that but fingers crossed
=]
Solution
Install any JRE Java, Copy the java folder at program files/Java/jre6 Paste it inside MOTODEV´s folder program files/Motorola/MOTODEV Studio for Android 1.2/ and rename it to jre
Done
Edited the eclipse .ini works a treat now wi java x64...
time to whip out the olde java books from college an see if any of it comes back to me
Is it possible to install the android sdk platforms & extras offline manually, my only net atm is my desire tethered, unlimited data but I don't wanna push my luck
I'm not sure if it may be related or not but according to the android dev page, you should be using eclipse 3.5 because they have been having problems with 3.6
May or may not be related but worth a shot.

Make nu system path
Try making new system path named PATH (all caps). its an issue with Win7 64. Hope it helps. and yes Installing the Android sdk is a giant head****. I have it all put as fare as the link to abandroid put it doesn't make plug-in available in the plug-in list. I'm at a loss...
As i said, hope it works.
Having just had this issue myself on a new install of eclipse, the sdk and adt, here's what finally helped me: making sure the java\sdk1.6.x.x\bin directorywas in front of the windows\sys32 directory in the PATH statement of the environmental variables.
I did already add the JAVA_HOME and such, but the above was the step that finally allowed me to finish the setup.

I had to finally use JAVA_HOME C:/PROGRAM FILES/JAVA/JDK1.7.0_05 That finally allowed me to instal the Android SDK

[Q] Android SDK, can't download platforms

Hi, I've installed Android SDK and learnt how to open in Win7 by running as admin. Also installed Java JDK
When I tick the boxes to install 1 or more platforms, the upload seems to start and get to maybe 30%...but then it just stalls and hangs.
Does this symptom suggest anything I've not done correctly on my install?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[SOLVED] Trouble installing SDK on 64Bit Windows 7

Hey guys, Ive just purchased a new x64 windows7 computer and am having difficulty getting the SDK installed.. I had it on my xp 32bit just fine, but the installer for android sdk wont recognize that I have the Java SE JDK installed and is telling me to set an environment variable to point to it. I am not all that familiar with setting Environment variables, or the new OS, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. Just looking to get adb running for GB and above for ODIN, not looking to develop.
To install Odin3 and flash roms you don't use adb.exe for any task.
But the answer to your trouble is your path.
I wish that i knew more about ADB, and the SDK...
I did manage to establish a working development environment last spring, but the system I use is only a 32 bit environment.
The time since my setup has been so long ago now, that I have forgotten the particulars of the build. But I did learn a great deal from the guides posted here:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/all-in-one-guide-to-adb/
Forgive my limited reply, as I desire to help you, but its quite clear that your knowledge of the android SDK exceeds that of mine.
And if you dont mind, I wish ask a question of you.
As you have used the 32 bit SDK successfully in the past, is it possible to copy and transfer all of the files needed to produce a working environment by simply loading said files from one PC to another ??
Or is the environment an individual set of parameters that must be created for use on each machine ??
I have never been successful in my search for an answer to that question.
Im sorry that its such an off topic request, but I truly wish to learn more in my old age....tbank you...g

Thanks for the quick response, yea i gathered that much with the path , just dont know which field to put it in under environment variables or the proper format.. my question is how to properly set environment variables for the sdk to install.. Or just even a workaround for getting ADB up on windows 7.. Had no issues whatsoever on XP.. I Extracted the java.exe to the path the sdk software is looking, and still no luck (i like having ADB to push apks, root or recoveries n such when not looking to ODIN etc) I've tried several different tutorials and can't seem to get past the install of the sdk verifying i have the java se installed. ..

My apologies if i sounded sassy in my response, i didn't mean to offend and am very thankful for all that u contribute here on xda and ur response. As for your question, i believe IMO due to the heavy reliance on drivers for the SDK to run for "X" device(s) development is being implemented on, it would more than likely need to be created specific to each machine during the install of each runtime ..but would imagine certain elements could be transferred or copied across. . But again just my guess, for i have not tried. I am new to win 7 and a NEWB to XDA. .. You sir are the mentor in this happenstance. Thanks again for the link and advice.

Make sure you installed 64bit java. I had the same problem and it turned out I kept installing the 32bit java. Their downloads can be very confusing.
Right click on "computer" on the start menu or in Windows explorer. Then go to properties.
On the left you will see an option that says "advanced system settings"click on that.
In the new window there will be 5 tabs up top, go to the "advanced" tab which is in the middle.
Once there, at the bottom is a button that says "environmental variables"
Click on that and there will be a new window broken into 2 sections: user variables, and system variables.
Go down to system variables till you see one named "path" select it and choose edit.
Now, you should have the java jre installed.
I have a 64 bit environment with 32 bit java,.That's fine.
The path that is installed to, and what you want to enter into your variable is:
;C\program files (x86)\java\jre7\bin
Close that out.
Now open a command prompt and simply type java, if you get a long list of details that tell you the commands you can use, congratulations java is now in your path.
If it says "java is an unknown command" you have messed up somewhere.
Ok, now that you have adb installed, go to the platform-tools folder.
Copy:
Aapt.exe
Adb.exe
Adbwinapi.dll
Adbwinusbapi.dll
And paste those into your main Windows folder.
Now, you can enter adb command from any directory, you do not have to cd to the platform-tools folder first.
Excellent ....
Many thanks !!.....g

Thank you very much sir for the indepth instructions. . Between your directions and gregsarg's link i was able to get adb up by using the 32bit ver download instead of the 64bit even though my machine is 64bit... Guess there is at least a little functional backwards compatibility left in win 7 afterall. ..:thumbup::thumbup:
