| <strong>Important:</strong> Support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse has ended, |
| per our <a href= |
| "http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/06/an-update-on-eclipse-android-developer.html" |
| class="external-link">announcement</a>. You should migrate your app development projects to |
| Android Studio as soon as possible. For more information on transitioning to Android Studio, see |

| <p>Formerly the official IDE solution for Android development, Android Developer Tools (ADT) |
| is a plugin for Eclipse that provides GUI-based access to many of the command-line SDK tools, |
| along with a UI design tool for rapid prototyping, designing, and building of your app's |
| user interface.</p> |
| |
| <p>As with ADT, support for the <a href="http://ant.apache.org/" |
| class="external-link">Ant</a> |
| tool for building from the command line has ended. |
| <a href="{@docRoot}tools/building/plugin-for-gradle.html">Gradle</a> is now the supported method |
| of building Android apps. |
