I researched how to set up an Android app development environment using Eclipse on Mac, so here’s a memo.

Installing Eclipse

First, install Eclipse.

[Mac] Mountain Lion に Eclipse Juno (4.2) をインストール + 日本語化 | CodeNote.net

Installing Android SDK

Next, install the Android SDK.

I referenced the sites below. Reading these will get you almost everything you need to know.

I set up the Android SDK directory location as follows:

Extract the downloaded zip file. The adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130219 directory contains eclipse and sdk directories. Rename the sdk directory to android-sdk and move it under /Applications.

That’s all from the Gemba.
