how do I update ADT plugin in Android SDK?

My Android SDK is refusing to render activity_main.xml in a GUI and shows me this message:

enter image description here

I went to Help > Check for Updates but it says there no updates
How do I get the GUI for activity_main.xml back?

Solution

  • You can update the adt from here

    You might need to update the software source for your adt update

    Go to eclipse > help > Check for updates.

    It should list the latest update of adt. If it is not working try this

    go to eclipse > help > Install new software

    Click on add

    add this url : https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

    give it any name.

    It will list the updates available- which should ideally be adt 20.xx

    Eclipse will restart and hopefully everything should work fine for you.
