Hello all,
I am a newbie facing a little issue.
Previously I had a running set up of Android 2.2 with eclipse.
Two days before I had started the SDK manager within SDK, and update and install my existing SDK.
I am able to take new updates for Android 2.0 to 4.0.3, but because of this eclipse showing me some strange errors like
"Could not find G:\sdk\tools\adb.exe!" .
I made search for this on net they said I need to give the path of platform-tools instead of tools,
How can I set the path when I suppose to give the path till SDK only ?? (Here I am getting confused)
I had given the two paths in the path environmental variable, but problem remains the same.
Please if any one can help me on this issue, since I want to use the other versions greater than 2.2.
If you don't want to modify the path you gave in eclipse, just copy and paste the contents that you have in 'platform-tools' folder to 'tools' folder (choose replace if any prompts appear).. this worked for me..

I have "Android SDK tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" installed using the SDK Manager, and fastboot is nowhere to be found.
The new r14 SDK seems to be missing this tool, anyone know what the replacement is?

same issue here as well
Glad it is not just me, I have been going over and over this stuff and can not find it in 14.
cant find it either
I'm having the same issue. Surprisingly, this is the only thread I see when I look for anything about it. No information from Google about it being moved or anything.
Anyone know anything about this change? Also, could someone post a link to their Fastboot.exe so I can finish rooting my phone? Lol.
Same issue here fastboot was included in build r13, and now is missing in r14. Whats up google! Pulling another fastone.. no pun intended...
If anyone with knowledge of what happened to fastboot in the latest build r14 of Android SDK it would be greatly appreciated if you could tell us all what happened?
Google doesn't want us flashing images anymore?? Something to do with DRM?? and the latest Movies in the Market ....
I reckon I've found the solution guys.
Head to this link - http://developer.android.com/sdk/older_releases.html
Go ahead and download the Release 1.6 r1 of the SDK
Unzip it and head into the tools folder and just copy the fastboot.exe into the new r14 SDK tools folder.
You'll have to copy and paste AdbWinApi.dll from the platform-tools folder into the tools folder in order to be able to run fastboot commands but once you do that you're good to go, I've been running commands whilst doing things here with my Xoom.

Fastboot.exe is missing from the tools folder. It will be added later in tools 16. In the meantime it can be found in the tools 13 windows archive. [Issue 21115]

Thanks that helps i was wondering why it was on of my laptops but not the other awsome
I just installed r16, and it appears that Fastboot did NOT make it into that build. Looks like r13 is still the best bet (as of February 2, 2012).
Since i updated the android sdk manager, installed the android 4 api and updated the eclipse android plugin im not able to compile my apps any more!! Even a reinstall of the plugin and the android sdk didnt help!Everytime i try to compile one of my apps there only appears the message "your project contains errors" and this text on the console: Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/android/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoVersionImpl;
Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/android/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat$AccessibilityServiceInfoVersionImpl;
"conversion to dalvik format failed with error 1".
Does somebody know what i can do now? Thats really bad!

*RESOLVED*
ive searched to no prevail. id like to start developing apps but am having issues getting the environment set up. i have the jdk properly installed.
issue 1 (main \ major ):
ive installed the android sdk from multiple sources, but when i try to start sdk tools, the command prompt flashes/ opens briefly and i get this message:
"Failed to execute tools\android.bat:
The system cannot find the file specified."
do i need to change a PATH variable or something...
issue 2:
i cannot get eclipse to run. when i try to open the exe file ( because there is no short cut icon...?) it gives a message about not finding a companion library... ive try to change the properties in the file that is supposed to fix it, but it was already set the way its supposed to be. this is not major as i can use a different IDE.
so im completely lost as to th sdk tool. any help would be appreciated!
edit:
i just tried adding the file path to the android sdk ( PATH variable) and it still did not work... :/
i also just tried start the android,bat file and the cmd promt flashes briefly saying somthing about xcopy is not an operable command...etc couldnt read all of it...
btw im on windows 7 home premium

Check if this can help you.
Actually, you don't need to configure environment variables. You only need to install Java SE, and Eclipse and Android SDK should work fine.

Word of caution
I hate to discourage anyone from following their hearts desires especially when it comes to software development. But I wanted to share some advice with you coming from an experienced software engineer. I've been developing software for over 15 years. My experience comes mainly from developing Windows desktop applications in C/C++. I've also been developing software using Java for several years so I'm by no means new to Java technology or development tools.
I've only recently started to develop for the Android platform. It didn't take me long to get started (i.e. get the development environment setup and start developing using the AVD manager) but as I dig into it I'm finding that the Android platform has become very much like developing Windows applications which is interesting to find because I really haven't done a lot of user interface development using Java. In the past my Java development projects have always been more back end server integration related to App Servers and database integration (i.e. Apache/Tomcat, JSP, Oracle, etc.).
I have seen user interface development libraries in Java such as Swing in the past but haven't had a real need for them. So to tell you the truth I can't say how much better or worse the Android SDK user interface libraries are than the traditional JDK 1.4 libraries.
All of this is to say that when I say this you know it's coming from someone that isn't just learning how to program. My advice to you is that if you haven't done much Java development in the past that Android development is not the place to start. You might want to start with the basics first like just setting up a simple Java program and learning the technology first before you jump head long into something.
I've done that more times than I can count in my long career and I can tell you from experience it's the surest way to fail before you get started.
thanks but...

i tried to use those files, but still the same problem, they wont launch/ install...in your post it says to launch them from the folder, correct...? the problem is, THEY WONT LAUNCH AT ALL...no UI for anything, just a quick flash of the cmd window for both of them and a pop up window for eclipse...
***i wasnt yelling, just frustrated...
First. DELETE EVERYTHING FROM DOWNLOADED FILES TO EXTRACTED FILE GET RID OF ALL OF IT then clear trash can.
THen ensure the JDK is successfully installed by opening command prompt and typing "java -version" you should have build 1.7 or higher. If not, you may download it here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html
Download this http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and pick the one that has "Recommended" next to it.
after you have that downloaded. FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO A T! NO SHORTCUTS WHAT SO EVER!
Then once everything is downloaded. simply FOLLOW ME again TO A T! and if you follow that you should get everything working. And seriously, FOLLOW IT TO A T! do not take shortcuts do not try to do more than one thing at a time just take it step by step. I had no problems getting it up and running by following that last link.
Hope that helps and BE PATIENT you will get to play around soon enough

thank you very much. i have what i need now, although i think i figured out my problem...stupid me was viewing the archive for eclipse instead of extracting the files to a separate folder, where the shortcut appeared!. thank you as it was your instructions that led me to my problem.

Samsung Galaxy S II not recognized on PC
I want to sync my PC with my Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket and put music on it, but the PC won't recognized the phone.
I have tried downloading and installing the driver, Kies, etc and still get the same error.
Can someone help me??
android.bat still not present
I went to the sdk site to download. I ran the exe file, says that it couldn't find the tool\android.bat file. Please help
Just installed the new R20 SDK and latest Eclipse plugin today and am having a rough time with it. Compilation errors (most commonly syntax errors and missing semicolons) don't seem to go away even after they're fixed. Typically cutting and pasting the whole file (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+S, in the editor) will cure it.
I've been developing Android stuff for nearly three years with this environment (various different installation of it at least). R20 seems to be pretty broken for me.
I'm just curious if anyone else is seeing this type of issue as well before I delete everything and reinstall or just revert back to R19.
I'm on LinuxMint 13, Eclipse Indigo.

Hi there,
I am an android application developer and I'd like to write an application, which is rooting the phone.
There was a time(Android 2.2 and older), when rooting was not really a big thing.
Changing the rwx permissions of two files by running two "chmod" terminal commands was enough on nearly every device to root them.
But then it went more difficult.
There may not be such a simple solution like above, but I keep hoping that it is still possible programmatically. Here is an idea:
We could use Assembler and native C to generate a Puffer overflow by calling a Unix system call like here(http://peterdn.com/post/e28098Hello-World!e28099-in-ARM-assembly.aspx).Then we could get some code, which would be able to change the file permissions coz it's running in Kernel mode, into the Kernel this way.
What do you think of my idea? Write it down! I don't expect code or does anybody here know a Linux kernel exploit
But ideas where we have to look for those would be great.
