Starting up tinkering with andoird again

It has been a while, but I have decided to tinker with android once again now that I have flashy new android toy to play with.

The install process didn't go as smoothly as I would have liked. Firstly, when installing the eclipse ADT plugins, I was unable to access the https site. Switch to http worked (eventually).

Next, I went to have a look at what AVD (android virtual devices) I had access to using the android tool. There were none, so I went to see if I could update. I was unable to do so. Even checking the option to use http instead of https in the settings did not help.

Eventually I found a google group thread that discussed how to update the packages using the android tool:


android update sdk


The readme did point this out, but the web page for getting started did not.

Fingers crossed that this gets me a development environment.
