Tonight I lost 30 minutes because Google’s Android team still has the wrong links on the download page of their website. Every few months someone from their team copy\/pastes the wrong link back onto the page…<\/p>\n

Android’s download page (http:\/\/tools.android.com\/download<\/a>) says:<\/p>\n

\n“download …ADT and Tools … from http:\/\/developer.android.com\/sdk\/index.html ”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is 50% true. The “Tools” are on that page (although some poor web design means you now have to jump through silly JavaScript hoops to see them – this is a new “feature”).<\/p>\n

…but “ADT” has NOT been on that page for something like 2 years now. I am surprised that no-one cares enough to fix this. You can wipe your system and download 0.5 gigabytes of trash to replace it, hidden inside which is the ADT – but you cannot get to the ADT itself.<\/p>\n

So, until the Android team checks their links and fixes their webpage, here’s the actual (official!) download page for ADT:<\/p>\n

\nhttp:\/\/developer.android.com\/sdk\/installing\/installing-adt.html<\/a> – Google’s ADT download page, NB: IGNORE the part at the top, the actual link is in “Troubleshooting”, and has been there for 3+ years\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
