I have been learning how to use this program at home and now Trying to do a little at work with a laptop that has no Internet connection. I have so far been able to install the SDK and one platform (2.2) When I try and make a new project Eclipse tells me that the aapt is missing and to look at (c:\program files\android\android-sdk-windows\platform tools\aapt.exe). I'm missing the (platform tools) folder all together. I have not yet found away to get this offline.
I also get a error that (R can not be resolved to a variable)

You're asking a lot. Better to take some time connected to the Internet
to get it right, then you can work disconnected.

Check out http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/android.html which
has a link to the best tutorial. If you can get through that while
connected, you're sure to be up and going.

Hope this helps.

Oh, yeah, that's a common problem (of perception only). Look at
http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/android.html#r-jav a
for the answer to that.

i think you cant do this,you need an internet connection in the first instance to install and download the different platforms then you need this connection in a "live "way to update.Ive been trying to do this off line you can install the eclipse program but you need an internet connection,not for the adt plug in,or sdk tools .

No got it working by downloading the parts I link to before and unzipping them to the required folder. As for the

Quote:

I think I'm pass that as well. Created a new project with a NEW NAME and all is well. New name seemed to be the key. Even deleting the old project didn't seem to help.
