You will want to put your code in a file called beta.java.
Then you can add this to your onCreate function:
* *
*beta.main(null);*
* *
*
*
*

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: New to android development
It is an eclipse problem. It happens when you try to run an application juste after modifiying a .xml file. You need to remove the .out.xml file created. Then simply click on your project name in the project tree in eclipse and run it. Le samedi 18 août 2012 23:21:02 UTC+2, Saudademaru Envy a écrit : So I have the android SDK and eclipse and I wanted to try to make my first app. Of course I followed the directions on the lessons about starting the hello world, then the one after that. Well now I can't seem to make anything. When I start something new, I may change some names of the activity, app name and stuff just to something different and as soon as the app is created it should be a simple hello world but I can't seem to compile it or test it. As soon as I try it gives me an error having to do with the layout xml file. It creates another one with the same name but also with a .out before the .xml then it tells me it is already defined. Does anyone know what the problem is? I will post a link so you can download my source files to check. It also says no xml content but my original file did have content. I even tried the one where we make a text box and button but it still says that for some reason https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4I48TCTXOKFQ1k0ekZZc2VLWDg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

imageView4.setOnTouchListener(mTouchListener);
}

Anyways, good luck.

[android-developers] Re: New to Android - Can't add Platform
Setting up the Eclipse environment correctly is not easy. I have done it 3 times now, and seen this error a few times. I think that you have to install ADT first, and then use this to import the SDK. The other thing I vaguely remember is that the load preferences command looks for .zip or something else (.tar ???), and pointing it at a folder will not work - you need to point at the original zip file.

I would go further than that. If the OP has no programming experience, then Java/Android is an almost impossible starting point: 1. The online doco is hopeless. Yes, as you say they all assume a pretty high level knowledge of Java to start with. Worse, for the beginner, is that unlike some other IDEs/environments I won't mention, the class library doco doesn't provide full functioning programs or even code snippets illustrating use. And these are hard and sometimes impossible to find. 2. Teach yourself OO programming? Are you kidding? Teaching yourself Fortran, C, Pascal etc is hard enough, and Java/C#/C++ are that squared. It would be easier to learn C, then jump from there into Java. And Android isn't just Java, its XML as well. Learn all that when you have never written a program in your life? 3. The environment is that much harder and slower to use because of the indirectness of cross-compling and running an emulator. When people first start coding, they are testing changes on a line-by-line basis, and the whole emulator thing is even more of a PITA. I love this stuff, don't get me wrong, and a lot of it is complicated and difficult because it has to be, but I can't think of a more difficult environment to learn programming for the first time than Java/Eclipse/Android.

[android-developers] Re: New to Android and programming
Teach yourself OO programming? Are you kidding? The only programming class I ever had was one in Fortran, yet I know OO inside and out (literally). I'll agree that I don't get a lot of the UML stuff, but that's more because I can see flaws in it. But that's 40 years of experience. I'll agree that one isn't going to pick up OO in a few weeks, especially not starting out on Android. I would say that one needs at least 6 months of fairly intensive practice with other programming paradigms before advancing to Android.

[android-developers] Re: New to Android Programming
Dear Dave, If you are new to Android and the complexities of Java, you may wish to consider another approach to Android development such as our MobiForms rapid application development tool. MobiForms replaces the need to download 100's MB of files, configure Eclipse, learn the Android SDK, Java and XML. MobiForms is ideal for novice or expert programmers alike you do not want to spend hours learning a low level language like Java. MobiForms offers one compact tool for development and deployment with most programming done with drag and drop. MobiForms is the world's first rapid application development tool designed for Google Android smartphones. Additionally MobiForms apps will run on other platforms such as Windows Mobile without any changes. MobiForms is ideal for creating database orientated business apps. Apps that would traditionally take hours or days to create can be generated in minutes with MobiForms. For more information please have a look at http://www.mobiforms.com Kind regards, Tim @ MobiForms -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The best way to learn, is by doing, as in just write apps with no prior experience. There are many introductory Java tutorials and Android tutorials (official and unofficial) online for free. You can also buy books or take a course. I spent 4 years (and a lot of money) in college working on a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, and I didn't learn as much as I did just from writing apps. I wrote this article to help folk like you get started, so that at least you can have a full toolbox to start playing around with some demo apps. http://www.thebitsource.com/featured-posts/getting-started-with-the-android-sdk-in-10-minutes/ I hope it helps.

I've come to the mailing list a few times and have seen people asking very basic Java questions, or even some intermediate questions.

[android-developers] Re: New to Android and programming
If indeed you are new to programming I'd suggest you see if you can take a college course somewhere on intro programming. At the very least you should find yourself a good Java Self Taught book and get through at least the first few chapters. While much of Android programming isn't really programming in the conventional sense, you still need a solid basis in programming fundamentals in order to make progress with Android. I think some people here have managed sort of OK without any formal programming background, but they tend to be the ones asking stupid question and writing porn apps, not the ones doing productive work.

[android-developers] Re: New to android finally leaving Windows !!!
To get started you can use the SDK and the emulators it provides (you don't need a device to dive in, though yes you will want one at some point for further testing). http://developer.android.com/intl/es/guide/index.html You can also buy a developer device: http://android.brightstarcorp.com/index.htm. Honestly though, the dev phone 2, while unlocked (and perfect for ATT) is a bit pricey for the hardware you get. The N1 is a better option IMO: http://www.google.com/phone (there is an ATT version, while they last, but not cheap). That or if your contract is up you can wait a bit and get a subsidized Samsung Captivate: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/06/samsung-android-phone-heads-to-att/.

On Jan 3, 10:54 pm, Neilz neilhorn...@googlemail.com wrote: Dear Rohit. When you have found your answers, please come back here and post them so we can all share in your new found knowledge. Thanx in advance... ;-) Q. Handler and Looper? Handler The most flexible means of making an Android-friendly background thread is to create an instance of a Handler subclass. You only need one Handler object per activity, and you do not need to manually register it or anything—merely creating the instance is sufficient to register it with the Android threading subsystem. Your background thread can communicate with the Handler, which will do all of its work on the activity’s UI thread. This is important because UI changes, such as updating widgets, should only occur on the activity’s UI thread. You have two options for communicating with the Handler: messages and Runnable objects. Messages To send a Message to a Handler, first invoke obtainMessage() to get the Message object out of the pool. There are a few flavors of obtainMessage(), allowing you to just create empty Message objects, or ones populated with message identifiers and arguments. The more complicated your Handler processing needs to be, the more likely it is you will need to put data into the Message to help the Handler distinguish different events. Then, you send the Message to the Handler via its message queue, using one of the following sendMessage...() family of methods: • sendMessage() puts the message on the queue immediately • sendMessageAtFrontOfQueue() puts the message on the queue immediately, and moreover puts it at the front of the message queue (versus the back, as is the default), so your message takes priority over all others • sendMessageAtTime() puts the message on the queue at the stated time, expressed in the form of milliseconds based on system uptime (SystemClock.uptimeMillis()) • sendMessageDelayed() puts the message on the queue after a delay, expressed in milliseconds. To process these messages, your Handler needs to implement handleMessage(), which will be called with each message that appears on the message queue. There, the handler can update the UI as needed. However, it should still do that work quickly, as other UI work is suspended until the Handler is done. Looper Getting tasks into a separate thread, then getting results back to the main UI thread is where the Handler, and related classes, come into play. When a Handler is created, it is associated with a Looper. A Looper is a class that contains a MessageQueue and processes Message or Runnable objects that are sent via the Handler. In the Handler usage. With this approach, the Handler is automatically associated with the Looper of the current running thread, typically the main UI thread. The main UI thread, which is created by the process of the running application, is an instance of a HandlerThread, which is basically an Android Thread specialization that provides a Looper. Q.. What is a ContentProvider? How to involve it from ContentResolver? Content Providers Any Uri in Android that begins with the content:// scheme represents a resource served up by a content provider. Content providers offer data encapsulation using Uri instances as handles you neither know nor care where the data represented by the Uri comes from, so long as it is available to you when needed. The data could be stored in a SQLite database, or in flat files, or retrieved off a device, or be stored on some far-off server accessed over the Internet. A shareable data store. Content Providers are used to manage and share application databases. Content Providers are the preferred way of sharing data across application boundaries. This means that you can configure your own Content Providers to permit access from other applications and use Content Providers exposed by others to access their stored data. Android devices include several native Content Providers that expose useful databases like contact information. Content Providers are a generic interface mechanism that lets you share data between applications. By abstracting away the underlying data source, Content Providers let you decouple your application layer from the data layer, making your applications data-source agnostic. Content Providers feature full permission control and are accessed using a simple URI model. Shared content can be queried for results as well as supporting write access. As a result, any application with the appropriate permissions can add, remove, and update data from any other applications — including some native Android databases. Many of the native databases have been made available as Content Providers, accessible by third-party applications. This means that your applications can have access to the phone’s Contact Manager, media player, and other native database once they’ve been granted permission. By publishing your own data sources as Content Providers, you make it possible for you (and other

That doesn't seem match up. Are these apples and oranges java apps? What should I see when I do $ java -version? According to the Android Dev page on java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError, the error is Thrown when an attempt is made to load a class with a format version that is not supported by the virtual machine. Can I at least assume that format version refers to Unsupported major.minor version 49.0 and that virtual machine refers to JDK? Egads, this is a show-stopper!

[android-developers] Re: New to Android
While trying to create an AVD for my first Eclipse-made Android app, I get the same java.lang.UnsupportederrorClassVersionError...49.0 error as in the OP. At that time, the $ java -version said I had: java version 1.3.1_01 Java (TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_01) Java Hotspot (TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_01, mixed mode) BTW: This 1.3.1_01 doesn't match any of the Java versions that I can see in Explorer. Anyway, I went ahead and installed JDK 6. I verified that it installed by finding it in (Explorer), (Add/Remove Programs), and in (IE Tools Internet Options Advanced). I then restarted the machine for good measure. Then did the $ java -version command again...but got the same 1.3.1_01. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

That means you need to update your PATH, as you are still picking up some older JDK when Windows searches for the java.exe program. http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Exactly; there are multiple installations of Java on a single machine.

It's been a while since I've seen majorminor-49er. Here's the usual cause: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=736596 You see this is likely a problem with your Java installation. I suspect you have an old Java version, probably 1.4.2. The bytecode of the android tool has been compiled against a newer version. You need at least JDK 5, according to the documentation here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/requirements.html Check your Java version with the following command: $ java -version Update as necessary.
