I'm really new at this. I'm following the book "Android" by O'Reilly press a little outdated, I'm using Pulsar for Mobile Java Developers. Build id: 20090920-1017 I go to File, New Project, Android, Android Project. I enter "Hello World" for Project Name. Then I get "An SDK Target must be specified." There is a check box but it says "no target specified". How do I get this resolved and how do I get to the command line?

I installed newst Android, JDK, Jer and eclipse. Than I tryed to build android project. But "build target" show "no target available". I looked at internet, they said I should run "Android SDK and AVD manager", I runed it but get follow message: Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: No route to host: connect
I read this group's conversation that suggest to use http not https, I tried it but still can not run Available Packages.
What are the differences between building for target 2 (no gmaps add on) and target 3 (with gmaps addon).
Could any one has the ant scripts to bulids for these targets.
I see 1.5 SDK does these though custom ant tasks rather than 1.1 ant scripts (this was more clear and apperant on how it does the build)
Trying to set up my eclipse envirnment to actually be able to try some things out on android...
I've installed the sdk, put it in my path variable, installed the ADT, downloaded the "developer tools" from the eclpise menu..
But... Then I go to the command line, navigate to the tools folder of my sdk, and run "android create avd --target 2 --name mine"
and I get this "error":
Error: Target id is not valid. Use 'android.bat list targets' to get the target ids.
So, I of course happily run the 'android.bat list targets' and get the following message!
"Available Android Targets:"
That's it. There are no targets.... I open the AVD window in eclipse, there are no targets... I click "New" in that window, and a target is required, but the drop down is disabled because there are NO AVD TARGETS.
I downloaded Android most new version and downloaded most new eclipse, I plugin Android into eclipse. But when I make new Android project
"build target" tab, show "no target available" who can tell me how can I get a target?
I'm trying to create an AVD, but I don't have any target ID's available. If I enter "android list targets" at the command prompt in the tools directory, I get an empty list.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhile trying to create a new Android Project., Get a error - An SDK Target must be specified. The documentation states that - "Under Target, select an Android target to be used as the project's Build Target. The Build Target specifies which Android platform you'd like your application built against." However in my case The Build Target section of the open dialog does not contain any text field or select dropdown, so I am not able to specify anything.

View 12 Replies View RelatedWe want to build a smartphone app which uses geolocation, etc. and target the most important smartphones. Which OS would you support for a b2c application? I found a german statistic here: http://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/150842/umfrage/prognostizierte-marktanteile-der-smartphone-betriebssysteme-in-2013/ which forecasts the smartphone usage for 2013. To summarize it lists the following OS, ordered by priority:
Symbian, Android, Blackberry (RIM), Windows Mobile, iPhone
Would you agree with this priority or should we start with the classical: iPhone/Android combo?
my goal is to target with a keyevent a specific application running either in foreground or background from a background service. I tried many solutions, but have not yet managed to do it. The few solutions tried (all from a background running service): With a broadcast, I tried to target the first application (for example the phone app) that would manage the key event
KeyEvent lKey1Up = new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_UP,KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENDCALL);
KeyEvent lKey1Dwn = new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN,KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENDCALL);
Intent lKey1UpIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON);
Intent lKey1DwnIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON);
lKey1UpIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT, lKey1Up);
lKey1DwnIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT, lKey1Dwn );
sendOrderedBroadcast(lKey1UpIntent, null);
sendOrderedBroadcast(lKey1DwnIntent, null);
=> Nothing happens with my foreground phone app when the broadcast is performed while I am in a phone call state (OFFHOOK). Indeed, I was nearly sure this would not work since I have no way to specificely target the phone app.............
I want to set in project properties build target 2.2 (api level 8) In the manifest.xml <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="4"/> is declared. Did anybody tried, if any user (with min. Android 1.5) see application in the market? Could some other problems occur because of different SDK for building and in manifest?!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have developed two separate applications 1) android 2.1 that takes user input / registers , shared pref and stuff and 2) Google Maps GPS on target Google APIs 7. Now, I would like to embed the second project in first . That is, after the user registers it will bring up Maps and suggestions and stuff. How can I use both the targets (Apis ) together in a single App?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to use FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP to launch an activity in my app. It has one feature I don't want though - it restarts the target intent, instead of just resuming it. Example history stack, with activity D making the call to B with that flag:
A B C D
new stack
A B
But 'B' gets relaunched, its onCreate() method is called. Since B is already in the history stack, is there a way I can use this flag, but have it *not* recreate B, just onResume() it again? The reordering flags are kind of what I need too, but they won't pop C and D, just reshuffle the stack so B comes to the top, but I want C and D to go away.
From the Android SDK and AVD Manager it is possible to add an extra Add-on Site URL.
I'd like to have some starting point or documentation about developing and distributing add-ons so I can distribute an SDK for my own target device.
I am not able to select build target when i create new project in android eclipse on mac system.
I have installed eclipse-java-cocoa 32 bit version and ADT-0.96 version. This was a fresh installation and i also installed AVD and SDK Manager and have created 2 avd's.
I tried creating bash profile. Even then i am not able to select build target,,the targets are not visible at all. I have attached image to show how it looks in eclipse.
i recently installed eclipse 3.5.2, sdk platform andoid 1.6, api 4 revision 4 and google APIs by google inc. i also set the path for sdk. but everytime i tried clicking the new android project, the build target and project doesn't show up. the only thing that appears is the 'Project Name', 'the location', and the working set.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm configuring a new machine for Android development and moving my current project over. I did a fresh install of all the Android tools and SDKs, and under "build targets", the Google APIs' target supports Android 2.2. Of course I need 1.5 as the base build target. My project doesn't build when I select that because the Google Maps stuff from maps.jar isn't there. In fact, after I did my full install I can't find maps.jar anywhere on my new machine. Is this jar file still required for Google Maps integration, or is it history? I'm using Eclipse 3.5. I guess I'd presume there would be a "google apis" for Android 1.5 build target. I'm thinking my install must be hosed; but maybe it's my understanding.. :)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an application that I developed using the Android 1.1 SDK that I am trying to port to Android 1.5. In my application, I record a sound through the microphone and then do various things with it, including playing it back using a MediaPlayer object. My code works fine when I use the 1.1 target, but when I use a 1.5 target I get this error when setting up the player:
Command PLAYER_SET_DATA_SOURCE completed with an error or info PVMFErrNotSupported error (1, -4) Couldn't setup MediaPlayer java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0x1 at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepare(Native Method) at org.byu.chum.AudioUtils.AudioRecording.stopRecording (AudioRecording.java:92) at org.byu.chum.SoundRecorder.Recorder$StopListener.onClick (Recorder.java:198)...
It seems like Android isn't liking the format of my media, but I don't know why, since I just recorded that very format on the Android device. Here's the code that is throwing the error:
player = new MediaPlayer();
try { player.setDataSource(recordFile.toString());
player.prepare(); } catch (IOException e) { Log.e("playRecording", "Couldn't setup MediaPlayer", e); }

I currently have an Android project in Eclipse.
I created it with a target build of 1.5 (sdk 3).
Now I want to change it so that it has a minSdk of 3 and targetSdk of 8.
To do this I see that I must build against the newest SDK (2.2)
To do this in Eclipse I right click on my project, go to properties, click on Android and change the project build target to Android 2.2 and click apply and then ok.
However this appears to have no affect and when I try it again the target build is set back at Android 1.5.
Am I missing a step or something?
I believe I have found a glitch in the Eclipse Android SDK. I use my notebook for Android development and have noticed that when I try to create a new project, the "Build Target" section of the New Android Project dialog is unusable because of the small screen size. My notebook's screen resolution is 1366x768 and you can see what I mean in my screenshot here: http://imagebin.org/105099.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to go about getting this fixed? Eclipse + Android is impossible to use on my notebook because of this bug. (Because the Build target cannot be set, I cannot progress through the dialog to create the project). I'm limited to developing in Genny and compiling manually for now.
My understanding is that when you have a view that's too small to easily touch, you're supposed to use a TouchDelegate to increase the clickable region for that view. However, searching for usage examples on Google turn up multiple people asking the question, but few answers. Does anyone know the proper way to set up a touch delegate for a view to, say, increase its clickable region by 4 pixels in every direction?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to make a single Android app for multiple Android versions (possibly every one of them)
My problem is that I want to check what is the version of Android the app is currently running on, and dynamically load a class which is version dependent. This part should be ok.
I just wonder how I can achieve that without compilation errors in my Eclipse project. I mean, the project is configured for a particular target (1.5, 2.1 ...), so if a class in my project is not compatible wich the selected target, it will result in errors.
Is there a way to export this classes even if they are not fit for the platform (I thought about a separated lib, but then again : how to compile theses classes into a lib without compilation pbs?) ? This should be ok since they won't be loaded until I ask them to after having checked Android version.
I have been given the tasks of speccing a mobile application, which will need to run on approx. 1000 devices. These devices already exist, and consist of iPhones, BlackBerrys, Androids, Windows Mobile and Netbooks. The application will have simple reporting capability, and a collection of forms. Anyway, the obvious solution would be to develop some browser based solution, although given the occasionally connected nature of the devices, there's a potential for data to get lost / not saved.
So instead of creating a complex application for each platform, I was thinking we could build what is effectively a form generator, with basic offline storage capability (text files), designed to run on each device, and have the device generate a form, based on for example an XML file that it could request from a server somewhere, resulting in minimal specialist development costs, and the ability to run most of the logic from the server end, with the devices being dumb clients that render forms and upload the data when there is an available connection. Anyway, my question summarised is, how have you made the decision on supporting multiple devices for your application. Is this always an unavoidable problem, and you just have to make the call to support 1 or 2, or pay for developers to write code for each platform, or alternatively supply pre-installed devices to the company?
