android notepad tutorial - no build target available

when setting up the the notepad exercise (http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/notepad-ex1.html) i am having problems getting past step 1 point 4. for build target it says no target available.

could someone offer any help please?

Might be a silly question, but have you downloaded the SDK and set up Eclipse with ADT? Have you been able to build the HelloWorld program?

You need to set your Android SDK location in Eclipse->Android preferences.

Eclipse->Window->Preferences->Android->SDK Location

You need to download at least one of the "essential SDK components" into your development environment:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

Download one of the "SDK Platform Android" 1.* or 2.* from the Android SDK and AVD Manager (located on the toolbar towards the left - has a picture of a little Android guy with a down arrow). Once you have one of the platforms installed you will have a Build Target available in the list. I would just go ahead and download any available SDKs that you see in the under "Available".

Non of other answers worked for me. So here a short collection of them my solution at the end.

• Android SDK installed? http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
