I’ve downloaded eclipse and installed onto my machine however, it's completely different from the online tutorials? I know there may be different versions and the program is customizable. I’m sure I've installed the correct version. Also I can’t get sdk to work within the eclipse environment although I can run it separately. I noticed in the videos, there is a Mac icon so this may be where I’m going wrong as I’m on windows. What to do? Title Comments Hi, just joined buzz and learning from the online videos.

It's replacing Eclipse. Comments Ah.... the joys of Eclipse (a.k.a. pain in the backside). Have you tried Android Studio? It's replacing Eclipse.
