App Android do have capture download?

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Sorry for the bump but I didn't want to create a new thread on the same subject.

So I downloaded SDK and Java SDK, extracted SDK and put it in C:/

But when I try to open the DDMS file, a black box opens for a split second and then disappears

Android has changed the way the SDK is installed in Windows, and made it far too complicated.

• Make sure you installed java.
• Open the SDK\tools folder and run SDK Setup.exe
• Select Available Packages in the left panel. This shows all of the components that are currently available for download from the SDK repository.
• Select the component(s) you'd like to install and click Install Selected. If you aren't sure which packages to select, just pick them all. Be sure you install the Windows USB driver.
• Verify and accept the components you want and click Install Accepted.
• Wait...a long time lol

When it's all done try again. If you still have issues, run it from the command line:

Open the command line
naivgate to the SDK\tools folder
from the command line run ddms.bat and tell us the output.

Okay, will try.

Thanks for the help btw...

Sorry, I'm a complete noob when it comes to computers, what is command line?

EDIT: I assume it's running "cmd" ? I put in ddms.bat and get this:

'ddms.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, program or batch file.

you're welcome

yes, cmd is the command line. Once you open it, you need to be sure you are in your SDK\tools folder. Open the SDK\tools folder from my computer, and look at the address bar.

type this into your command window:
cd "Whatever is in the address bar (above)" - example:

cd C:\Android-SDK\tools

i don't have a windows PC here, so I'm not exactly sure what the path will be, so you need to look at the address bar while it's open in the my computer window.

Then run ddms.bat

"No suitable Java found." message even though I already installed Java EE 5 SDK

I'll uninstall it and will try installing Java Platform, Standard Edition JDK 6 Update 18 instead and will get back to you I guess

Oh, +rep for you too

Java SE Downloads - Sun Developer Network (SDN)

That's the one Android recommends. Be sure to pick Windows!

Okay, installed the above Java, restarted computer, tried all the steps from page 1, still didn't work. Tried running it through cmd and I still get the same message

How do I set or change the PATH system variable?

this should have been done when you installed the java kit, but here is what you need to do.

EDIT: Got it to work!

Thanks again, gbhil!

No problem man. Just pass it on the next time you see someone struggling with setting up the SDK

OR you could have just downloaded OpenHome... and use that Screen Capture lol instead of going through all that
