I'm trying to be able to create a simple application for a Motorola Droid using the command line in Ubuntu 9.04. I've tried eclipse, but the C++, PHP, Android, etc parts seem to be incompatible and cause eclipse to not run very well, so I've abandoned eclipse on Ubuntu. I'm trying to set up the tools on the command line.
Here's what I've done so far: 1. download android-sdk_r05-linux_86.tgz from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html 2. tar xvzf android-sdk_r05-linux_86.tgz 3. ln -s android-sdk-linux_86 android 4. in .tcshrc added setenv PATH .....:/home/xxx/android/tools 5. source .tcshrc 6. ran 'android'. This opened a gui. I selected 'available packages' and installed everything, and quit the gui. 7. ran 'android list targets' and I get: Available Android targets: id: 1 or "android-3" Name: Android 1.5 Type: Platform API level: 3 Revision: 1 Skins: HVGA-P, HVGA (default), QVGA-P, QVGA-L, HVGA-L id: 2 or "Google Inc.:Google APIs:3" Name: Google APIs Type: Add-On Vendor: Google Inc.

If I run 'android' by itself it says that there are no 'Virtual Devices', even though 'android list targets' lists 8 targets. 1. Is a target the sams as a Virtual Device? If so, why don't they show up in the gui program? 2. How do I see what the skins look like? 3. Which skin should I use for the Motorola Droid? Or where can I get a target/virtual device/skin for the droid? thanks, Bob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
