Configuring the ADT plugin

After you've installed ADT and restarted Eclipse, you must specify the location of your Android SDK directory:

• Select Window > Preferences... to open the Preferences panel (on Mac OS X, select Eclipse > Preferences).
• Select Android from the left panel.
• You may see a dialog asking whether you want to send usage statistics to Google. If so, make your choice and click Proceed.
• For the SDK Location in the main panel, click Browse... and locate your downloaded Android SDK directory (such as android-sdk-windows).
• Click Apply, then OK.

If you haven't encountered any errors, you're done setting up ADT and can continue to the next step of the SDK installation.

If you are unable to use Eclipse to download the ADT plugin as a remote update site, you can download the ADT zip file to your local machine and manually install it.
