Not able to create Android application project in Eclipse. Error Message - Enter an application name (shown in launcher)

Question

I want to create a fresh Android application project in Eclipse. But when I try to create a project it every time gives me the message on the first screen of creation.

Enter an application name (shown in launcher)

enter image description here

When I remove the theme also

enter image description here

I have already entered a name for that application.

I am using:

Android api level 10
Eclipse Version: Indigo Service Release 2,Build id: 20120216-1857
Operating System : Linux Fedora 17

There are projects which I am developing on the same machine.

I have several times restarted eclipse and my developing machine. What is happening?

This my sdk image for api level 17

enter image description here

Update from the solutions I got that my ADT plugin was not updated for Android sdk tools version 22. So now I have updated it but I have another error. See:

Update ADT plugin and then SDK tools and after when you will try to create a new project, the error will not occur

I think you don`t have any API installed to compile. First install an API version in SDK Manager and later try again to create a new project.

UPDATE:

If you update SDK Android, probably you must update ADT.

For the last error update eclipse.

ADT is updated? Eclipse is linked correctly with SDK Android? – mromer May 17 '13 at 10:18
This screen is for SDK, ADT is updated? "Help -> Install new software..." and check the repository [link](https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/) – mromer May 17 '13 at 10:32
previously it was not updated but now after also it is giving new error just updating the screen shot – Nikhil Agrawal May 17 '13 at 10:40

Add all these to your answers – Nikhil Agrawal May 17 '13 at 10:47
Check your java version. Switch from Java 1.5 to Java 1.6 – mromer May 17 '13 at 12:01

In Eclipse, go to Window -> Android SDK Manager. Select one or more SDK Platforms to install.
You have to install the sdk platforms before creating the Android application project. See if this helps.
