= How to install Android plugin version 1.x into NetBeans Check our [http://www.nbandroid.org/ blog] for updates. == Install using autoupdate center The simplest way how to install nbandroid modules and keep them updated is to register an autoupdate center in your NetBeans installation. Address of this update center is [http://kenai.com/projects/nbandroid/downloads/download/updatecenter/updates.xml]. To register this update center, simply go to ''Tools -> Plugins''. Then follow this sequence of screenshots to register nbandroid update center and install plugin: * In ''Settings'' tab press ''Add'' button and fill name and URL: * In ''Available Plugins'' tab enter '''android''' in ''Search'' text field, check found plugin. [[image: uc-02.png]] * Check also appropriate version of Android Test Runner plugin. (See below for more details on this topic). * Press ''Install'' * Press ''Next'' [[image: uc-03.png]] * Accept the license [[image: uc-04.png]] * Press ''Continue'' (and ignore warning about unsigned plugin for now) [[image: uc-05.png]] * You're done, you can start Android development... == Install from downloadable ZIP archive * Look for new NBMs (module archives) in our [http://kenai.com/projects/nbandroid/downloads download area] * Unzip them. * Go to Tools | Plugins | Downloaded * Click 'Add plugins...' and select all plugins except testrunners that do not match your IDE version. There are three versions of a module that provides integration with test results window targets to NetBeans 6.9 or 6.9.1 or 7.0 users. Each of them is named org-netbeans-modules-android-testrunner*.nbm. [[image: au-zips.png]] ** Select org-netbeans-modules-android-testrunner.nbm if you are using NetBeans 7.0 or newer. ** Select org-netbeans-modules-android-testrunner691.nbm if you are using NetBeans 6.9.1. ** Select org-netbeans-modules-android-testrunner69.nbm if you are using NetBeans 6.9. *Click 'Install'. Do not forget this step. You will have to accept license then. In adittion to that you will be warned that plugins are not signed. == Install from our continuous build If you want to get fresh bits rather than less frequently but perhaps more stable bits from our download area you can register an autoupdate center generated by nbandroid continuous build. This one is updated after each code integration that passes tests suite. Address of this update center is [http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbandroid/lastStableBuild/artifact/build/updates/updates.xml]. Steps to register this update center are very much the same as when registering the update center described above except the different URL. Again go to ''Tools -> Plugins''. Then follow this sequence of screenshots to register nbandroid update center and install plugin: * In ''Settings'' tab press ''Add'' button and fill name and URL: [[image: uc-customizer2.png]] * In ''Available Plugins'' tab enter '''android''' in ''Search'' text field, check found plugin. * Check also appropriate version of Android Test Runner plugin. * Press ''Install'' * Press ''Next'' * Accept the license * Press ''Continue'' (and ignore warning about unsigned plugin for now) * You're done, you can start Android development...
