Interested in Android but new in development. I am using windows 7 PRO for android app development. I did the following and I encountered this error msg : failed to load the JNI shared library

I took the following steps:

  1. Create a folder with name : AndroidSDK in c:\ Program files (x86)

  3. run the SDK Manager and installed all required packages

  4. Download Eclipse Classic 4.2.1 from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.

    • after extracting the file, Copy and paste the Eclipse Folder in AndroidSDK ( this folder in C:\Program files (x86))

  5. Have tried both JDK 6 and JDK 7 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u7-downloads-1836413.html

    • Install it under Enclipse Folder:
      When double click on the Eclipse application ico, I got this error msg failed to load the JNI shared library

Can you help me how to setup Andriod development on windows 7 pro?

Thanks

Make sure that your JDK is 64 and that your Eclipse is 64-bit.

  • 1) Since I install Android SDK in C:'Program files (x86), So I must use JDK 32-bits and Ecipse 32bit ? 2) Can I install Android SDK in C;\program files (64bits) so I will use JDK and Ecipse 64 bits? Thanks – MilkBottle Oct 14 '12 at 14:01
  • #1 / #2: it doesn't matter where you install them; if your system is 64-bit, then you need to install the JDK 64-bit and the Eclipse 64-bit. – Dominic Tancredi Oct 14 '12 at 22:58
  • I am having problems. Do I need IE9 64bits on Win7 pro to download JDK 64bits as well as Eclipse 64 bits? After installling ie9 64 bits but the java website say mine is 32-bits browsers. Any suggestion to download? – MilkBottle Oct 15 '12 at 08:10
  • would appreciate if you provide me the link for JDK 64 bits. Thanks – MilkBottle Oct 15 '12 at 08:29
  • Got it working now. It is very misleading from the java.com which specify 64bits browser requirement. – MilkBottle Oct 15 '12 at 14:32
