Hi, I've installed the Android SDK (1.5 r3), Eclipse (Fedora Eclipse 3.4.2), the ADT & DDMS Eclipse plugins (0.9.1.v200905011822-1621), and successfully worked my way through the Hello World Tutorial. However I'm not able to get very far into the Notepad Tutorial because I'm not able to properly import the project files. No problems downloading the ZIP archive and extracting the files to sub-directories of my Eclipse workspace directory, however I'm then unable to open them as Android projects in Eclipse.
The Notepad Tutorial instructs me to: 1. Start a new Android Project by clicking File > New > Android Project. 2. In the New Android Project dialog, select Create project from existing source. 3. Click Browse and navigate to where you copied the NotepadCodeLab (downloaded during setup) and select Notepadv1. This is where I hit a problem, as with my combination of ADT plugins and Eclipse version the New Android Project dialogue doesn't have a 'Browse' button or any other way to select a path for the creation of a project from existing source! All I get is an error stating "AndroidManifest.xml not found in samples." and no way to proceed any further. As that was a dead end I tried to import Notepadv1 as a General Project and use the Android Tools to convert it to an Android project afterwards. The general project dialogue at least gives me the option of selecting the path to the Notepadv1 project directory so I'm able to create the first project, however when I then right click and select Android Tools > Convert to Android Project I get an 'Problem Occurred' dialogue windows which tells me that "'Convert Project' has encountered a problem. Notepadv1 does not exist." The Details>> button doesn't give me any details. The project now appears as an Android project, but fails to build after a clean or a modification to the files. The Android ADT error in the Problems tab is 'Failed to get output folder!'. If I try Android Tools > FIx Project Properties I get the same error dialogue as with Convert Project. I've search these groups, and the web in general, and wasn't able to come up with any solutions to my problems with what really ought to be straightforward. Can anyone give me some pointers as to what is going wrong? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
