Android™ Runtime Development

[MSohm]

The Eclipse Plug-in for Android Development Tools does not currently support Google ADT 21. Android Runtime developers should continue to use ADT 20. The team is working hard, and will have support for ADT 21 in the updated Eclipse Plug-in beta 1.4 version coming later this month.

Is there any news regarding when this will be updated? I am lothed to reinstall my ADK/SDK as this is not an easy job and also has an impact on our Android development.

ADT 21 will be supported in our next release coming out at the end of the month.

In the mean time a solution is to:

1. Downgrade your version of the ADT plugin to 20.0.3 by following the instructions here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8247125/how-to-downgrade-android-adt

You may need to uninstall the BlackBerry Android plugin in order to remove existing ADT plugin. 

2. Download version 20 of the Android tools and overwrite your android-sdk/tools directory with it. Available here: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r20-macosx.zip or here for Windows https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r20-windows.zip

3. Reinstall the BlackBerry Android plugin

I don't Think we must uninstall the blackberry plugin

 Its enough to install the ADT version 20 from other sites not in Developers.android.com since we dont get there

Will it be out at the end of *this* month, or *next* month?

Is there a beta yet to allow us to get back on track with our droid/bb development?

@donturner
The solution you described works for me. unfortunately that's a unpleasant workaround.
