I've been following the tutorial at this page... http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html
I had originally sent an e-mail to the author of the tutorial who promptly told me that I shouldn't e-mail him about his tutorial, but should ask this group instead. Below is a copy of the e-mail I sent him, I am hoping someone here can help. -- I am running Windows 7 Business x64 with the latest Microsoft updates. Eclipse Helios Build: 20100617-1415 (IDE for Java Developers), Android SDK r06, Android Developer Tools 0.9.7.v201005071157-36220, Java JDK 6 update 20. All on a Quad core E5345 with 8gig of RAM and lots and lots of hard drive space (space isn't an issue). 1) In Section 2.3 under "Select available packages and select the latest version of the SDK." your tutorial tells me to select all of the Android 2.2 packages. What if I only want to code in Android 1.6? Will I also need to get the 1.6 packages? The same for 2.1? 2) In section 4.3 you tell me to open strings.xml under res/values. When I select the resource tab for strings.xml there is nothing listed under Resource Elements, where you say I should see "hello (String)" and "app_name (String)". When I try to add an element or do anything else with the elements listed I get an error: "An error has occurred. See error log for more details. java.lang.NullPointerException." Even when I select the strings.xml tab next to the resource tab and try to manually change the text, for each character I type I get the same error. Google has turned up nothing for that error on Eclipse with Android. I've tried completely removing and reinstalling Eclipse and Android SDK, making sure I followed your tutorial for both Eclipse install and Android install much much closer. When I got back to the point of section 4.3 I got the same errors. All in all I tried reinstalling both Eclipse and Android SDK 3 times, following your tutorial closer each time, with the same result. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I really appreciate the tutorial and your help. Thanks -- -Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
