 Download URL:

Eclipse sdk from URL:  http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.7.2-201202080800/winPlatform.php#EclipseSDK

Not required to install Eclipse, just un-archive the downloaded folder anyplace in local drive. That will render the “eclipse.exe” which will open up the Eclipse architecture. An opening the Eclipse framework, it will ask for the place of ‘workspace’ folder (“Workspace “is the place where the whole Eclipse project will be saved). Make any space folder anywhere in your computer and give the place.

At that Eclipse has successfully assembled. Now we can open Eclipse; write any program & can save the program to workplace folder.

3)   Android SDK launch setup:   

We required to setup & configure Android with Eclipse. Essentially it is for development activity but in case if we want to check how is the application behaved we can have a look on such the app in eclipse.

 Download the URL:

Android sdk from the following URL:

http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.2.1-windows.zip

Not required to install the Android; just un-archive the previous downloaded folder (android sdk_r18-window) any location in local drive. That will render the “SDK Manager.exe” (which will open the Android SDK Manager) & “AVD Manager.exe” (which will open the AVD Manager).

    a) SDK Manager: used for installation of the Android packages.

·         Executes the “SDK Manager.exe”(can be found inside the “android-sdk-windows” folder)

Android SDK manager will furnish the list of package to be installed.

Install any of packages you need to install by checking corresponding checkbox:

   Connected Android SDK with the Eclipse IDE:

Click on the “Eclipse” menu (next to the apple logotype for OSX) & choose “Preferences”

Click on “Android” head in the menu tree to open our Android Eclipse predilections

Click the “Browse” button to the right side of the “SDK place” box

Entering the location of your Android SDK (the humanoid path from Step 1)

  b) AVD Manager: used for making the Practical Device (imitator)

•    Run the ‘AVD Manager.exe’ (can be found in “android-sdk-windows” folder)

•    Android Virtual Device Manager’s Window will open.

•   Click on New> and follow the stairs as shown in below screen shot:

Name:  name of Practical device (or emulator)

Target:  versioning of Android imitator which you are going to use.

CPU/ABI:  for Android, use ARM

SD Card ‘Size’:  it could be 1024 MB

Skin ‘Built-in’ :  HVGA (for the Android)

Click “Create AVD”. It will create AVD which will be viewed in “Android Practical Device Manager” under “AVD Name” level.

Select the AVD name & click on “Start”. “Launch Option” pop up will open. Then click on “Launch”.  It will open the Android imitator.

If you are getting failed to launch the emulator or getting the error:

Fail to allocated memory spaces:

This app has requested to the Runtime to terminate it in an un-expected way.

Please contact to the application's support team for more data.

 Then try to reduce the ram size and can use resolution of:

1)    Resolution 1280x800, Ram-1024mb and Heap size-48

2)    Ram-512mb and Heap size-32

3)    Resolution

720 X 1280

Ram-128mb and Heap size-16

  ADT plug in for Eclipses:

ADT plug-in extends the power of Eclipse to let you repidely set up new Android projects; build an application UI; debug your app; &  export signed (and unsigned) application packages (APKs) for dispersion.

To setup ADT plug-in:

   So just give the location of the Android SDK path

Open your Android project in Eclipse  : (Convert your Android project to AspectJ)

1.  Right click on your project

2.    Click on Configure and select convert to AspectJ Project

Add the monkeytalk-agent.jar to your Android project.

The agent can be found in the agents/android/ folder in the main MonkeyTalk.zip package you downloaded earlier .The exact name of the android agent jar will include the version number (for example, monkeytalk-agent-1.0.30.jar).

Create a libs/ folder in your Android project (if you don't already have one), and copy the agent jar into it.

  Include the monkeytalk-agent.jar in the AspectJ build path (right-click on monkeyTalk-agent.jar > AspectJ Tools > Add to Aspectpath).

   Update your AndroidManifest.xml to include the following two permissions:

android.permission.INTERNET

android.permission.GET_TASKS

Select your AndroidManifest.xml file, copy these two permissions from any of the existing android app’s manifest.xml and paste it in your AndroidManifest.xml as shown below:

  Update the project properties

 (right-click on the project > Properties > Java Build Path),

 select the Order and Export tab,   and check the checkbox next to the AspectJ Runtime Library to export it:

 You should also export the monkeytalk-agent.jar file you added to the project. (Note: in some older versions of Android Development Tools, this export may create a "Dexification Error" - if you get this problem just uncheck this).
