I've downloaded one of the open source Android Applications (the music application) from the Android git, and I'm trying to create a new project from the source. Creating a new project using that existing source doesn't work giving me an "invalid description error".

I want to start a new android project in Eclipse but it is not showing up when i choose file > new. I also checked file > new > other. I can't see any option to create android project.
I'm completely new to Android development (but not to programming as such). I'm following the tutorial at Android Developers and got stumped immediately.
I've installed Eclipse and the Android SDK
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030
eclipse-standard-kepler-SR1-win32-x86_64
jdk-7u51-windows-x64.exe
I installed JavaEE, JDK, Eclipse 3.5.x (Galileo), the Android Starter SDK, and the current ADT all with no problems. However, when I try to walk through the 'Hello Android' tutorial, I bring up the New Android Project wizard, fill it in and hit 'Finish'.
After a moment, it comes back with a message saying there was a problem at path X:so and so (access denied).
Things to note:
-Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
-Quadcore Pentium with 8GB RAM, 8TB NAS
-I am an Administrator
-I have also tried this by activating the full (hidden) Administrator profile
-I have reinstalled everything 8 or 9 times
-I have changed ownership & permissions all over the place
-I have launched eclipse in 'Run as Administrator' Mode
-I have installed Everything as 32-bit, as others have done this successfully
Eclipse creates the folder it's having a problem with, but then cannot work with the .project file it creates (access denied). It then can't save anything so there is nothing but an empty folder 'Hello_Android' on the left within Eclipse.
Anybody have any clues about what is going on-- I'm frustrated. I want to get into this, and I've looked EVERYWHERE on the net trying to crack this nut....
I followed these tutorials to set up a Hello World Android app. But when I create a new java project I can't select a build target. It just says no targets available in the target selection box. I have confirmed that I am not having the UI issue described here (http://blog.rowancrane.com/2009/12/27/eclipse-new-android-project-cant-select-build-type-target), I actually have a message in the box saying there are no targets instead of an empty box. I also am using 1920x1080 res.
I'm guessing that eclipse is just not aware of my Android Targets? I installed them in the android SDK manager and see them listed under installed packages in the Android SDK manager (1.1, 1.6, ..., 2.2)

Any suggestions on how I can create the project and get started?
How do I install eclipse and create a project?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI followed the instructions for installing the Android SDK on Windows 7 from
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
But when I open Eclipse and click "New" it doesn't show "Android" in the list, even when I click "Other". Nor does it appear under the "Window" tab. What step am I missing to make "Android" appear in the "New" options or "Window" options.
Somethings I'll have an? .xml file selected when I compile a project, only to have a? .out.xml generated. Deleting the file doesn't clear the error, and Eclipse won't compile the project. It just reports that your project contains errors. The solution is to go to Project/Clean. This will clear the error in the project and allow it to compile.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried to build test library and test app with latest ADT and Eclispe however Eclipse complains on each reference I made to library classes from my test app. This is what I did:
1. created Test Library Android project, marked it as "Library" (package name "test.library.lib") 2. created Test App project (package "test.library.app") and set it to use Test Library 3. Test Library got LibActivity class which simply referes to lib_main.xml layout 4. I defined that activity in Test App manifest file:.............
I have an android project that uses ant to build, is it possible to import this ant project in eclipse IDE?
update : There is an option to create project using ant build.xml in eclipse File->New->Project->Java->Java project from existing ant Buildfile. and if the build.xml file is selected it show error "Specified buildfile does not contain a javac task"
I guess javac is declared in this task
<taskdef name="setup"
classname="com.android.ant.SetupTask"
classpathref="android.antlibs"/>
I wanted to start a new android project in Eclipse but it is not showing up when i choose file > new. I can't see any option to create android project there. And I also have android SDK too

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a subfolder in the layout folder, and drag an xml file to it, the generated R file doesn't seem to show the subfolder. a) is there a way to change that b) is the file and file structure still picked up by SVN and c) so, if I do it that way, can I still just refer to the object using layout?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is a two-part question about adding a third-party library (JAR) to an Android project in Eclipse. The first part of the question is, when I try to add a third-party JAR (library) to my Android project I first get the problem of Error parsing XML: unbound prefix
because I'm trying to use a class from that JAR (and need the prefix somehow defined). What's going on?Second, (after fixing that--the answer is given below), my application doesn't work on Android and I discover via the debugger (LogCat) that the class I'm attempting to consume doesn't exist.
Caused by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.github.droidfu.widgets.WebImageView...
Why, when I get no compilation or linker error in Eclipse, does it have this problem on the emulator? These two questions are rhetorical for I'm going to answer them myself below. Other posts in this forum creep up to the problem and elsewhere there is discussion, but I feel that I can be more explicitly helpful for the next guy to come along.
I am trying to create a library project, I've got things working up to the point of building the application that depends on the library, but installing the APK on the emulator always fails, because the shared library is not there. (The documentation indicates that the ADT would include the library in the APK of the dependant application, but this is clearly not happening.) BTW, I'm using the package name of my library project in the application's "uses library" tag. Is this correct? The documentation is completely silent on this subject. I've been banging my head against this for two days nowanyone has gotten a library project to actually work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm clearly missing something simple, but after nearly an hour of trying to figure it out, I'm still stuck.
I have an external jar file containing classes I want to use in my project. No problem, right? I just followed the instructions at
That is, I used the Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries panel to add the jar to my project as a library. But it doesn't work. The external library is being included in the compilation classpath, so everything compiles correctly, but the external classes aren't actually getting included in the apk. When I try to run my app, it immediately crashes with a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. And looking at the apk, I see it's only 20K, whereas the external library jar is over 200K.
I've noticed that then I use "clean" from Eclipse project menu on my project I receive following error
[2009-02-19 09:55:02 - MyListView] no classfiles specified [2009-02-19 09:55:02 - MyListView] Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1
Project doesn't use any external jars and rather simple. If I uncheck build automatically and build it - it builds and runs just fine. I'm on MacOSX 10.5.6 and JDK 1.6.0_07. And latest android SDK ( android-sdk-mac_x86-1.1_r1.zip 79046151 bytes becf0f1763d61eedce15d2a903d6c1dd )
While compiling android project in eclipse 3.4.2, am getting The project cannot be built until the build path errors are resolved. I got a temporary solution from the blog http://www.scottdstrader.com/blog/ether_archives/000921.html
The resolution was to force a resave of the selected projects (and their .classpath files):
Open the project properties
Select Java Build Path > Libraries
Add a new, arbitrary library (to be deleted later) > OK
Wait for the workspace to refresh (or force a refresh of the project)
The error(s) will go away
Remove the dummy library
The only other references I could find were to make minor alterations of contents of the .classpath file.
Is there an example Hello Sound project for Android that will show how to create beep sounds of a variable tone and duration?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a project working in Eclipse completely, but after compiling it with ant in order to use Proguard to obfuscate the code the entire project fell apart. The project consists of a single package containing two main activities and 4 helper classes to handle databases and such. After using ant the activities work fine but Eclipse cannot find the helper classes and won't build. Even if I explicitly import the classes the error I get is
The import com.ts.routeTracking.DataHelper cannot be resolved while further mentions of the class get the error DataHelper cannot be resolved to a type. How can I get Eclipse and ant to work together?
I got the following error on error log,"conversion to dalvik format failed with error 1" How to resolve this issue?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've tried checking out some projects to get them to run in eclipse -- for example twitta from:
http://twitta.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
using subclipse plugin for eclipse.
It happens on other projects as well. When I checkout the project, it's not recognized as an android project (the src folder is not identified as a java source folder, etc.)
Anyway, when I try to run "convert to android project" from the context menu, I see
Problem Occurred
'Convert Project' has encountered a problem. twitta does not exist
The details text area is blank.
when i enter to eclipse new>other>android i have many options but not android project,i have insalled sdk and the plugins,what sould i do?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis happened to two programs of mine now and makes absolutely no sense. It usually comes about when I'm adding a resource file (in this case, a menu). In the package explorer: -the project name has a small red x, indicating that there is an error in one of its files -none of the sub-folders or files have an x or show any red highlights None of my code has errors! Ocasionally, I see this:
[2010-09-02 16:09:20 - FallDown] 'default' is not a best match for any device/locale combination.

As part of the Android application I am developing in eclipse, I need to combine two packages from different projects into a single project. I tried copying the files in the package of the second project under the src folder of the first folder and copied other files required for second package into the res folder of the first project. But the auto-generated Java files i.e R.java doesn't get updated on copying. I tried right clicking on the project and clicking on Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties. But nothing changed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workspace with a few projects in it. App1 and App2 are Android applications. Common is an Android library project. App1 and App2 depend upon Common (linked via the Android tab). Common has some external dependencies, namely httpmime & apache-mime4j, which exist as jar files. For some reason, it appears that I need to add my mime jars to the build path of App1 and App2 for compilation to succeed. This seems really dumb. In normal Java, I would add Common to the build path of App1 and App2 and things would work. Is this expected that I have to add my jars to every Android application?
