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 really don't understand what you're trying to say ... What exaclty is an APK Manager ??
If you are trying to build Android Applications, Then you need the following :
Knowledge of Java (or) a similar OOP Language
An IDE (like Eclipse or Android Studio) + Android Development Tools - (Eclipse+ADT >> Download Here)
The Android SDK ( Comes along with the ADT Bundle You downloaded above)
An Android Phone
A Working Brain

I've just gotten the Dell Venue 8. Basically, I want to use it to develop apps for Android. I'm using eclipse with the Android SDK, but my device is not recognized by Eclipse or my computer. It is informing me that I do not have the necessary drivers. I've been searching for the drivers and have downloaded and tried manually selecting them from device manager but none will work. Does any one have any advice or recommendations?

Read my guide on the unlocked bootloader, I point to the drivers you need to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48052077
Instead of installing for the Android-Phone with the Bootloader Interface, install it with the Android Composite Device instead.
