Android Offline Installation Procedure (Windows)

In this tutorial, I'll show the 'Android Offline Installation Procedure' for computers on a Windows Platform which do not have a direct Internet Connection.

1. Install Android SDK Manager, Revision 16.
  - The Android SDK Tools Package is the only package that gets installed.


2. Close the Android SDK Manager & Go to the SDK Installation folder "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk".



3. In the sub-folder 'platforms' extract the contents of the Android Platform (Android Platform 2.2, API 8, Revision 2). You may need Windows Administrative Privileges.
  - The SDK Installation Folder Structure would be like...
"C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-2.2_r02-windows\"
*ant\
*data\
  *images\
*skins\
*templates\
*tools\
*android.jar
*build.prop
*framework.aidl
*sdk.properties
*source.properties

- Now Start the Android SDK Manager, you'll see that one more package (the Android 2.2 SDK Platform package) has got installed. Close the Android SDK Manager.


4. In the SDK Installation folder "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk" extract the contents of the Android Platform Tools (Android Platform Tools, Revision 9).
  - The SDK Installation Folder Structure would be like...
"C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\"
*lib\
*renderscript\
*aapt.exe
*adb.exe
*AdbWinApi.dll
*AdbWinUsbApi.dll
*aidl.exe
*dexdump.exe
*dx.bat
*llvm-rs-cc.exe
*NOTICE.txt
*source.properties

  - Now Start the Android SDK Manager, you'll see that one more package (the Android SDK Platform-tools package) has got installed. Close the Android SDK Manager.


5. Start Eclipse IDE & Install the Android ADT Plug-in, ADT 16.0.1.
  - Goto Windows -> Preferences -> Android.
  - Browse for Android SDK Location "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk".
  - Click 'Apply' & save the changes.
  - Goto Windows -> AVD Manager.
  - Create a 'New' AVD, Android Virtual Device.
  - Close the AVD Manager.
