Can t find AVD or SDK manager in Eclipse

Question

Seems like I m having some problems after updating my android sdk tools and platform-tools using the sdk manager  The problem is that  after updating  I found that the avd or sdk options in the windows dropdown menu in eclipse are gone  And  I can t find any option to create an android project from file- new projects any more    I tried removing the ADT from eclipse and the software site  https   dl-ssl google com android eclipse   from  available software sites  and then reinstalled the ADT from  https   dl-ssl google com android eclipse   using help- install new software  The installation was successful  but I still don t have any option for shortcuts to the SDK manager or the AVD in eclipse  and neither can I create a new android project   By the way  the android perspectives are not gone  they are still here  Also  I can manually open the avd and sdk manager from the directory where I have installed them   Can anyone please show me a workaround  Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had similar problem after updating SDK from r20 to r21  but all I missed was the SDK AVD Manager and running into this post while searching for the answer   I managed to solve it by going to Window - gt  Customize Perspective  and under Command Groups Availability tab check the Android SDK and AVD Manager  not sure why it became unchecked because it was there before   I m using Mac by the way  in case the menu option looks different

I would suggest you to install the ADT plugin compatable with your Android SDK tools and try to install all the required plugins compatable with your Android SDK LIKE     Android SDK tools Rev 20 0 3     Android SDK tools Rev 20 0 3     Android SDK Platform-tools Rev 14     Android 2 3 3 API 10  sdk platform rev 2     samples for sdk api 10 rev 1     ADT Plugin 20 0 3

Chances are that you may be running your eclipse using Java 1 5      Latest Plugin requires that the JRE be 1 6 or higher     You will have to use Eclipse that runs on JRE 1 6  Edit  I had run into same problems  If it is not JRE problem then you can debug this  Follow  below procedure    Window -  show View -  other -  Plugin Development -  Plugin Registry   In the plugin registry search for com android ide eclipse adt or any other plugin related   to android  depending on your installation there maybe 7-8  Select   Right Click -  Diagnose  This will show the problem why the plugin was not loaded
