Here’s an installation guide step by step to setup a development environment for Android on my Mac OSX Snow Leopard
1. Install Eclipse
Download Eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ , you can choose the Java variation of Eclipse, which is “Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (98 MB)”
2. Install Android SDK
Download Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html , I downloaded and extracted it on ~/android-sdk-mac_86
3. Install Android Development Tools plugin for Eclipse (ADT)
Inside Eclipse, go to Help -> Install New Software (or Help -> Software Update, choose tab Available Software, click Add Site ..) and add the Repository for ADT
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
- In the Available Software dialog, select the checkbox next to Developer Tools and click Next
- Next window you will see a list of tools to be downloaded, click Next
- Read & accept the license, click Finish
- Restart Eclipse
4. Configure ADT
Inside Eclipse, go to Eclipse -> Preferences , browse to the Android SDK, click Apply -> OK
5. Start a new Project
Now you can go to File -> New -> Project and choose Android Project
