I installed the Android SDK and the Eclipse IDE for Java and Report Developers, but when I tried to create a new project, the Build Target list was empty.<\/p>\n

I had already followed the instructions given in this newsgroup post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \"\"<\/a>Run the Android SDK and AVD Manager from the Start menu or a command prompt<\/b> (Start | All Programs | Android SDK Tools | SDK Manager, or C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Android\\android-sdk\\tools\\android.bat<\/tt>). Do not run it from Eclipse’s Window menu: the Settings tab won’t be available!<\/b>
    \n
  2. In Settings, check “Force https:\/\/ … sources to be fetched using http:\/\/ …”.\n
  3. In Available Packages, if “Android Repository” is not present, then:\n
      \n
    1. click Add Add-on Site.\n
    2. enter “‘https:\/\/dl-ssl.google.com\/android\/repository\/repository.xml”.\n
    3. check “Android Repository” then check the desired APIs and SDKs.\n
    4. click Install Selected.\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Unfortunately, I still had no targets available in Eclipse. It turned out that problem was that I had no path configured in Eclipse for the Android SDK!<\/b> This should have been obvious, since when I selected Window | Android SDK and AVD Manager, Eclipse complained that no path was set, but since I always lauched the SDK & AVD Manager from a command prompt, I never received the error dialog. The solution was to open Window | Preferences and browse to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Android\\android-sdk<\/tt>, then press Apply<\/b>:<\/p>\n
