HI It is very nice and easy to fallow
Thanks

I have a newer version (or different?) of eclipse and it doesn't have the option for the android plug in and won't pick it up from this site "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/"
My interface doesn't look the same as depicted in this tutorial.
Someone please help!
eclipse has 2 types of ide. May be you have the different one than shown in the video.
And use http instead of https if the url doesn't work.
Excellent tutorial!. Even tho Im working on my Mac and I have a different version it still shows the keys steps to follow when you are starting for the very first time. Thanks! GJ!!!! I'll Stumble upon this ;)
Excellent tutorial! Thanks~~
Thanks for the effort! nice tutorial.
However I tried with
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Build id: 20090619-0625
this seems new version and some of
the UI is new and not same as the
tutorial, notablly
1. Instead of Menu->Help->Check Fo Updates
I had to select
Menu->Install New Software
here I gave
"https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/"
2.While opening the project
Instead of
File->New->Android
Now
File->Others->Android project
3. While running
Instead of Run->Open Debug
Now
Run->External Tools
then select android
Also there are some changes in
how we select emulator options.
Overall, I was quite happy that
as a new to eclipse I could able to
run. Good work.
Thanks for this, but here's an errata entry. As of today, when trying this screencast from scratch, the AndroidManifest.xml lines needed to use "android:name" rather than "id" in the "uses-permission" tags.
Thank you so much!
Would you mind if I save these 2 Flashs to my local storage?
Nice tutorial. thanks for the cast.
My program does not like Contacts.People or c.first(). eclipse suggests isFirst() but that seems to be a different method. Here are my imports below. What am I missing?
import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts;
import android.widget.TextView;
Thanks.
