Update Eclipse with Android development tools v. 23


I updated Eclipse with the new SDK tools (rev. 23), but now when Eclipse starts I receive the error:

This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 23.0.0 or above. Current version is 22.6.3.v201404151837-1123206. Please update ADT to the latest version.

No updates were found with "Check for updates". If I try "Install new software", I can see version 23, but I can't upgrade due to the following error:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

After download of the last ADT from the web site, it seems there's another problem.

With SDK Tools rev. 23 proguard is not installed, the folder SDK dir/tools/proguard is missing, and other tools are missing. This version contains several bugs.


Solution

  • Google response:

    This is a packaging bug. The entire proguard file is missing. We'll have an update asap, but until then just copy it over from a previous version of the tools:

    and copy over the following files:

    • tools/hprof-conv
    • tools/support/annotations.jar
    • tools/proguard

    So at the end if you started from a new ADT copy by hand the files :)

    Edit: with the latest ADT release, the bundle should now work with auto-update, so install these new versions:

    Don't try to upgrade from previous version because it doesn’t work at all. If you have got problems with zipalign, it's now under build-tools and no more under tools/ so you can do a symbolic link or just copy it into the expected folder.
