Cannot create a new android application on eclipse

Question

I am a beginner to android development,I have downloaded adt-bundle-windows-x86_64 with android 4.2 and started the eclipse version(Android developer tools) provided with it.

But when I click finish after filling all the details in new android application dialog box,the finish button doesn't seem to respond at all.

At the first click on finish button an application is created but no java files in it and the dialog box stays still.At least the android 4.2 library is not in the application.src is also empty.

I'm working with Windows 7 64bit and JDK 1.6 64bit. Any idea on solving this?

Your question is unclear. Which manual you are following to set up and where you got stuck exactly? — Kanth, Jan 19 '13 at 04:56
@Appu - I used the adt bundle which comes with an eclipse version with it.SDK is integrated with it as a default.Android website says that there is no need to setup sdk as it is integrated in that version.So I was just going to create new android application from file->new->android application project — Heshitha Hettihewa, Jan 19 '13 at 05:02
Are you providing the Project Build Target API level? Just click on Project and rightclick `Properties` & in Android tab select any `Project Build Target`. I think this is the issue only. — GrIsHu, Jan 19 '13 at 05:19
You might not have installed API 17.just check it and install packages by opening SDK Manager. — Mehul Joisar, Jan 19 '13 at 05:23
Thanks Grishu,but it did'nt help.Tried that one and got the same blank application. — Heshitha Hettihewa, Jan 19 '13 at 05:29
@MehulJoisar - I checked the SDK manager and it says that it is installed correctly. — Heshitha Hettihewa, Jan 19 '13 at 05:32
@HeshithaHettihewa if my answer help you then kindly accept that — Janmejoy, Jan 19 '13 at 10:12

Thanks Janmejoy I followed that manual.But after clicking finish(Step 7) I get that blank application shown in the image.And the window doesn't close after clicking finish button.It stays still. – Heshitha Hettihewa Jan 19 '13 at 05:14
Adt is already added to the eclipse version which comes with the new adt package.No problem with that,I can get "create new android application project" window.But the problem is new application is not created. – Heshitha Hettihewa Jan 19 '13 at 05:24
yeah,I tried reinstalling all the packages too.but did'nt help. – Heshitha Hettihewa Jan 19 '13 at 05:31
did you try like that..if your sdk path is correct and you have installed the sdk manager too then if you follow the above step surely it will work – Janmejoy Jan 19 '13 at 05:37
yeah I tried that.But I cant go after step2.After clicking finish on that window I get just that blank application shown in the image I attached. – Heshitha Hettihewa Jan 19 '13 at 05:41
I checked eclipse.ini and I found only "JavaVersion=1.6" – Heshitha Hettihewa Jan 19 '13 at 06:02
Did you download the ADT Plugin – Janmejoy Jan 19 '13 at 06:05
I used ADT bundle from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.The eclipse version provided with it comes with adt installed. – Heshitha Hettihewa Jan 19 '13 at 06:24
So you followed Setting Up the ADT Bundle http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/bundle.html – Janmejoy Jan 19 '13 at 06:27

Eclipse is not that much robust IDE.If nothing can solve your issue.try to restart Eclipse and your Computer.

and yes,before restarting just update the packages.

Go to SDK Manager, and install available updates for following packages.

Android SDK Tools

Android SDK Platform-tools

After updating,it will be look like this,

I just got mine past this bug; hopefully yours will fix too?

On the screens with menus to select from, where one item is greyed (selected?) as default: Deliberately click the item, to ACTUALLY select it (it turns dark blue or something).

Mine apparently got caught up on the "Make activity" (or whatever) page, and until I went back and assumed that the default had failed to select it, I was unable to choose finish (even though it clicked, looked as though it was going to do something, and then didn't go).
