For me it was a simple case of specifying the path to the  sdk  subfolder rather than the top level folder   In my case I needed to input   Users Myusername Documents adt-bundle-mac-x86 64-20140321 sdk  instead of   Users Myusername Documents adt-bundle-mac-x86 64-20140321

If I get you correctly you have just downloaded Android sdk and want to configure it working with Eclipse  I think you miss one step from the installation of the sdk    1  you download it   2  you extract it somewhere  3  then go to the specified directory and start AndroidManager  or was it just android     There you specify you need platform-tools and the manager will configure that for you  This will also provide you with the  adb  executable which is crucial for the Android developement   After that you install ADT  which I think you already did  and from Eclipse preferences -  Android options you get a place to specify where your android-sdk is  If you specify it after you did the  step 3  you should be good to go   I am not 100  sure I got it correctly and what your state is  so please forgive me if my comment is irrelevant  If I am wrong I will be happy to help if you provide some more details   Something I am completely sure is that you shouldn t need to create the folder  tools  by yourself   PS  The description I gave is for newer versions of android sdk  but if you are encountering a problem with older version I will recommend you to start from scratch with newer version  It shouldn t take you that long time

I faced similar issue when the SDK tools installation was failed during the initial setup  To resolution is to download SDK tools from Android Developer Site   Expand  USE AN EXISTING IDE  section and download standalone SDK tools Choose your destination as   HOMEPATH  android-sdks  Now start Android-SDKs folder and run SDK manager

My solution was to remove the Eclipse ADT plugin via menu  Help   About Eclipse SDK   Installation Details   Eclipse will restart    Next go to Menu  Help   Install New Software   then add the ADT plugin url  https   dl-ssl google com android eclipse   or select the existing link from the dropdown     This will re-install the latest ADT  including the DDMS files
