Android Question Installing SDK

[Aloysius]

Hi There

I bought yesterday and I am a web designer with HTML, CSS, Little PHP etc. I am struggling my ass of to install this SDK Sh*t of Google. ADT, SDK I got an error "Stopping ADB server failed (code-1)" But it is installing none the less.

Where do I start to learn here. I read the beginners guide, but I am still lost here. How long does it take the complete beginner to get up and running? All I want to start off with is to create a little programs that displays categorized quotes. Any help would be appreciated. I wish there was a complete install thing instead of this hundreds of crap that does this and then that, SDK, ADT I wish Google would make the things simple for people like me.

I'm giving this a go. You do offer a 30 day refund if I can't figure this out?

Hi Guys. Thanks for the reply but for some reason I cannot figure this out. It's now been 2 days. I am running windows XP. I'm going to give this another go and if not, I'm done with this. I tried everything now and while I am a web designer I don't know much about installing stuff as I like easy software. I understand this google sh*t is not your problem but I'm just really frustrated now. I'm going to try a few more times but if I can't get tit right can you please tell me hat I need to do to process a refund? I just wasted countless hours thinking this will be better. Do you know any other online stuff I can use like andromo? UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 2 days wasted

So you've done this, okay?

Install Java JDK v7:
Note that you can have several versions of Java installed on the same computer.

• Open the Java 7 JDK download link.
• Check the Accept License Agreement button.
• Select "Windows x86 (32-bit)" in the platforms list (also for 64 bit machines).
• Download the file and install it.

and this?

Install the Android SDK and a platform:

• Download Android SDK.
• Install the SDK. The SDK doesn't work properly when it is installed in a path with spaces (like "Program Files"). It is recommended to install it to a custom folder similar to C:\Android.
• Install the platform-tools, build-tools and at least one platform image (see the image below). You can use API 8 or above.

and this ?

• 
  
  • Open Basic4android.
  • Choose Tools > Configure Paths.
    
    
  • Use the Browse buttons to locate "javac.exe" and "android.jar".
    javac is located under <java folder>\bin.
    android.jar is located under <android-sdk-windows>\platforms\android-x.
    On Windows 64 bit, Java will be installed under C:\Program Files (x86).

and finally, as it's XP, this bit...?

Have you tried a reboot? I can honestly say that for me Basic4Android just worked and it works really well
