How to resolve warning: You are installing software that contain unsigned content and authenticity and validity of this software can not established

Question

I am new to Android . I installed Eclipse Kepler version.

I followed this link.

https://sites.google.com/site/barsham/list-of-topics-1/programming/eclipse-android-windows-64

After doing the following step :

6.1. Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software....

6.2 Click Add, in the top-right corner.

6.3 In the Add Repository dialog that appears, enter "ADT Plugin" for the Name and the following URL for the Location:

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

I tried both https and http url.

But the same error box popup which contain the warning related to unsigned content and authenticity.

Please help.

Solution 1

This warning is just telling you it is not signed, you cant resolve it. Just click OK and continue on.

Solution 2

The warning is about security, it is good for you to always care about security warnings and understand them.

As I see it, many developers do not care on creating the signature (or may be it is too troubling?), anyway, for open-source plugins I think it is ok to ignore the warning, as long it is a popular (or at least old enough) plugin. In a sense that, other users may have already poked around the code or reported about security problems related to it.

More about it here.

what can you not resolve about it? It just says that its a warning, and give you the option of OK, Cancel, or Details. Is this the screen you can are stuck at?

Thanks for your kind reply. I have latest eclipse. And due to above error, i am not able to create the new application.

My problem is resolved now by installation of the full package of the Android and Eclipse. developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Yes that was the screen.

On that screen if you just click OK everything will install as planned. You cannot do anything about that screen because google did not sign the plugin when they released it.

Thanks for your support. I can now successfully create sample application from Eclipse Kepler and resolved the problem. I also added the system variable path through the Environment Variable. path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk7\bin; I think, the mail problem is path variable. :D thanks

@ParagKuhikar I would politely ask, if I resolved your problem correctly that you mark the answer as correct so others can see what solved the problem. Thank you again
