Question

Going to Help -> Install New Software -> already installed?

Clicked Android Development Tools -> Update.

Further looking at the above error trace there is a thought that it has a dependency on Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers at first place so if I try to update the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers with the same procedure, it takes longer to process the update and then failed with the following error trace----

An internal error occurred during: "Install download2".
Comparison method violates its general contract!

I have now spent hours to have my ADT update get done but with no means.

Was it helpful?

Solution

It was that Helios Service Release 2 wasn't compatible with the latest ADT version.

I first downloaded the old release of ADT using the following URL -

http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-22.3.0.zip

Then choosing "Install New Software", "Add Site", "Archive" that I downloaded above.

Worked perfectly well.
