Using Eclipse, I thoroughly messed up the creation of my SDK sample projects (e.g., ApiDemos) ... as I was paying too much attention to the Butler vs Duke game and not enough attention to the project creation options I was selecting. The result was 100+ levels of ApiDemos subdirectories that apparently I had asked Eclipse to create in my PC's android-sdk-windows/samples/android-7/ directory. After overcoming a slew of 'file name too long' problems reported by Vista's file manager, I finally removed the cancer-like directory structure and am now trying to get a fresh copy of the SDK samples.
I moved my messed up samples directory out of the android-sdk-windows directory and I used the 'Android SDK and AVD Manager' within Eclipse to re-download the 'SDK Platform Android 2.1 API 7, revision 1' package. Although the download status messages seemed okay (e.g., downloading samples..., installing samples..., installed samples, Done. 1 package installed.), it appears that the final unzip did not execute: a new 'android-sdk-windows/samples' directory was created but it contains only a '/android-7/ApiDemos/.metadata' directory and all the sample code is still in a 'android-sdk-windows/temp/ samples-2.1_r01-linux.zip/samples-2.1_r01-linux' directory. In my previous download of the SDK samples, I didn't have to manually unzip the sample directory. Is 'samples-2.1_r01-linux' the correct directory for the SDK installed on a Windows system? How can I fix the 'Android SDK and AVD Manager' within Eclipse so that it unzips packages after downloading them ... as it previously has done. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
