Does eclipse still work for android development.? - eclipse

Basically I'm asking is if I was to download eclipse right now(8/3/17), would I still be able to get all the required plugins to effectively develop android applications.
if so can some one tell me where I could get them.? Everyone keeps sending me to the android studio page but I can't find a link to the stand alone sdk without downloading android studio
Any help will be appreciated

Here you can find the SDK tools package.

HTTP Client Android Studio

When I'm using IntelliJ Ultimate I often find myself using the built in HTTP Client plugin.
This plugin allows you to organize your REST endpoints in a plain text file ending with .http, which is really handy for sharing them with the team over GIT.
It also allows you to easily execute them from your IDEA.
For Example
I noticed that Android Studio does not have this plugin.
I tried looking for it in the plugins section, but I was unable to find it.
Does anybody know how I can enable it anyway?
Btw I'm using Android Studio 3.2.
You cannot use HTTP Client in Android Studio, because this feature is only available for the Ultimate edition. But you can use IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate for android development, because it supports almost all the features from Android Studio.
From Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA FAQ:
Q: If I rely on features that are only available in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate (such as additional version control plugins), will I be able to use Android Studio?
A: No, these additional features will not be available in Android Studio. You should continue using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.

Add android target to visual studio for Mac

I'm building over a non from scratch project, that a previous developer created in my office.
In a previous version of Unity - Visual Studio for Mac I generated some build for iOS, but now, with the newest version, I get this configuration:
Also, the configuration for Android is disabled.
How I can add Android as target for my project to generate an apk file?
UPDATE 1
VS Configuration.
UPDATE 2 / BUILD CONFING
Please refer to the following link to setup unity to make Android APK:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-sdksetup.html
You will need to download: the latest version of java, and the android sdk.
You will need to set the unity path to the sdk
You will need to download and set up the android ndk.
Sounds like a lot of work but its really a lot of waiting. the Android SDK can take some time depending on which versions you wish to support and how far back you go.
Once you have followed the guide above you will be able to change your project to android in the project settings menu.
Good luck!
For mac users with unity looking to set up android:

you should be able to select android here and then click switch platform...

Appium with Android Studio

Does Appium with android studio needs uiautomator Viewer, Because Why i'm asking Here as a beginner I need To Know Appium Installation having Two Methods "Eclipse with appium" And Advanced Method is Appium with Android Studio. UIAUTOMATOR need or Not. for Appium with Android Studio.
Thanks in advance
I am not entirely sure of what you are asking, but if I understand correctly here is my answer:
I use Eclipse and Appium, and because the Android SDK plug-in for Eclipse has been deprecated, you need to install Android Studio to get the SDK. You also need to install the Android Studio to get the UIAutomator, which you will find you absolutely need to have. Once I installed the Android Studio, I've not had any need to actually use it as a development environment at all. The UIAutomator can be invoked from a command line.
it don't ned the uiautomator, you can use the inspector. so no need uiautomator if you want to set up the appium with the android studio.
if you are not using android studio then it needs it.
Depending the element which you need to access while running the test case.
If you can not get elements then its necessary to find element by xpath
Its available in android-sdk/tools/bin.
it's necessary to download android studio for appium as SDK plugin no longer available.
so don't worry just set all path correctly.
i'm new too but with help of android studio i'm not receiving any error or problem related UIAutomator.

Install Facebook APK in Microsoft Android Emulator

I am using the Microsoft Android emulator that comes with Visual Studio 2015. It works great overall but I cannot find a Facebook APK that works on it. Has anyone solved this problem?
Any advice appreciated.
One way to do this is to get the Google Play Store on the emulator then download the Facebook APK from Google Play. To do that, you might try this: http://codesmells.net/2015/07/27/installing-the-google-play-store-in-the-microsoft-visual-studio-android-emulator/

Appcelerator Titanium: Android SDK doesn't load

I started developing with Titanium and now I really stuck on one part.
I downloaded the Adroid SDK and added the path to Titanium:
/Users/michael/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_86/
I can open e.g. Kitchen Sink in the iPhone Simulator without problems, but when I want to open it in Android then my screen looks like this: Screenshot
Why is down there all the time, even after 2 hours of waiting, the label "loading..." ?
some great advice given here - helped me out.
Switching to TRACE will probably show that Android SDK Platform 1.6 and API 4 is missing.
More info here
1) You can install Android SDK 1.6 (run tools/android from your Android SDK folder and download the older SDK 1.6 from the Google Repository),
and Titanium will detect Android SDK
2) As for Android SDK 2.2, adb moved to platform-tools folder, so you will have to create a link in [your-android-sdk-folder]/tools e.g. :
ln -s ../platform-tools/adb
(full instructions for non-linux here : http://guides.appcelerator.com/en/getting_started.html)
Finally, in the Titanium Test&Package/Run emulator window, you will have the choice between Android SDK 1.6 and 2.2
Try to open your Android_SDK_Dir/tools, run file android to create a new Android Virtual Device. After that, open your Titanium again. Maybe this will solve your issue.
Take a look at your image. Value of SDK listbox is "...loading...". This means you Titanium cannot determine which Android Virtual Device is. So, as I said, try to create new Android Virtual Device first.
having the same issue - have you found a workaround?
found out that after downloading the android sdk - there are other components to be downloaded, which is different from previous versions. Also found some implication that loading the android emulator prior to launching the app from titanium may yield better results.
check the android docs for updating the sdk via the avd manager
load the emulator first video:
http://vimeo.com/10866226
Try setting the Filter from "Info" to "Trace" that may illuminate things.
Most commonly, you may not have the right platforms installed. Just install all of them if that's the case.
add a blank folder android-7 in android/platforms ..n restart titanium ..it worked for me on ubuntu
