Installation

[Big JR]

When installing the Java JDK I can see "Java SE Development Kit 6u21
idk-6u21-windows-i586.exe" -- ie Java SE not Java 8E. File size is still 75.91MB and it downloaded and seemed to install OK.

With Android SDK and platform I can see (and check) "SDK Platform 2.2, API 8" but not "Usb Driver Package" -- the Android Repository list ends with "Samples for SDK API7, revision 1".

Hello World and Guess the number worked OK but perhaps without the Usb driver I wouldn't be able to run on a device. Or do I need a device attached to see the "Usb Driver Package" option?

If you are able to find javac.exe then you have the right version installed.

I think that the new SDK tools installs the USB driver automatically.

Thanks Erel.
When installing the Android SDK I have the option of "SDK Platform Android 2.3, API 9, revision 1". Should I go for that or stick with "SDK Platform 2.2, API 8"?

Stay with 2.2, API 8. Version 1.00 was not tested with the newer version yet (I expect it to work properly though).
