Eclipse: won't let me use Android SDK, wrongly claims my ADT is out of date


I'm developing for Android with Eclipse, and all was working well until yesterday. I used Ninite to update all my stuff, including JREs and everything (pro tip: do not do that), and it restarted my computer without asking in the middle of editing my workspace.

This caused all kinds of filthy problems, but now it all works, except for Android. I've updated Android SDK and the eclipse ADT, then when I try to tell Eclipse the SDK location, it gives this error:

This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 14.0.0 or above. Current version is 12.0.0.v201106281929-138431. Please update ADT to the latest version.

Now, this is an outright lie. My ADT is version 14.0.something. I've tried Help>Check for updates, it says there are no updates. I've tried Help>Install new software...>Available Software Sites and removing the ADT repo, then reinstalling ADT, and it says it failed because I already have version 14.0.whatever.

How do I convince eclipse that my ADT is up to date??


Solution

  • To anyone else with this problem, my solution was just to delete the Eclipse folder, and download a new copy from scratch. I had to then re-download all plugins including adt, which worked this time round.
