I'm brand new to Android (although not to Eclipse and Java). Yesterday I installed ADT within Eclipse (always latest versions) both on Windows and XP. Then I try creating HelloWorld by following the tutorial.
When creatin the android project I get an error on the line setContentView(R.layout.main) ==> R unknown. I tried ctr-shift-O ==> import android.R is added but the error remains. Undaunted I follow the tuturial and edit to create a TextView instead ==> application runs, i.e. I see a mobile terminal image with 'ANDROID' written in the centre. On XP it's strange: after a seemingly long time-out the text font changes and an icon (android) is added after the text. Next I try editing the resource .xml files as suggested in the tutorial in order to change the text. This also implies reintroducing the line with setContentView(R.layout.main) in lieu of the TextView. This time no error reported !!!! When inspecting main.xml, the new layout and text look OK. Yet when running the application I keep getting the same mobile picture, i.e. without the new text. It looks like the emulation doesn't work properly. I rebuilt the application from scratch and did another tutorial, with the same negative result. I must say that I'm lost. Can anyone help please ???? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
