Anyway, I first downloaded Eclipse - Europa for mac and got the ADT plugin for it.
Then I downloaded the SDK, put it into my documents, linked eclipse to it and then started trying to create the Hello_Android app. When I tried to run it, it said that the aapt file was unparsed, I looked in the console to see where it is and I found it inside the SDK.
I opened the inspector in mac OS X and read the info on the aapt, it said it was a unix executable file (intel) and I have a PowerPC mac so yeah.... I'm just wondering if there is anyway around the problem?

Sorry, I got no experience with Mac & Android... perhaps someone else

Oh okay, thanks anyway, but who on this forum can I ask?

Hello tijames,

everyone who answers
Try opening a new Topic (choose expressive Title) in the SDK/ADT/Emulator Problems-Subforum.

Thanks. I shall start a topic there, lol ^__^

Hi,

I just got started with Android and your forum seems excellent place to start off. I am using Eclipse Europa on Win XP machine, Java SDK 5. I could follow all the steps but I am stuck at step 9 which you have shown in pictures. I saw on the google forums and added under "Android Preferences" in Eclipse SDK Location: F:GPhoneandroid-sdk_m5-rc15_windows. This took me to a step where I am able to see the emulator but I cannot see the app running. I have added tools dir to the path. I am pasting here the verbose log, kindly help me out.

Thanks,
Sai.

Hi,

I tried to do clean and build again to see if it works, but now I am facing new errors with resources. Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sai.

hi plusminus,

can you speak chinese , 你讲解的真好！

thank you

First you check out whether you installed your ADT or not...
If not,unzip that folder first and then give that path in envirnomental variables.....

very nice !!

thanks for your information

hi, i'm a novice, can you please explain to me what is the meaning of Bundle class? and the purpose of it's object as a parameter in the onCreate function and in the call for super.onCreate?
why do we need to call super.onCreate at all?

I was browsing the site, and am slightly interested.
But, I'm wondering what you are testing your apps on?
Do you have an Android device, or are you just using the SDK emulator?

Thanks

For now, we all test our programs on the emulator.
The only ones that maybe have a device on their hands are, besides of Google's developers, some Android Developers CHallenge winners (they showed their apps on the G1 at the T-Mobile presentation).

The device will be available from 22nd October.

But the emulator works like a charm!

Wow.
I develop for embedded devices, and never trust an emulator.

I will need to read more about this (how ti develop apps, and how the manufacturers create the OS on their device, thanks.

Using java Syntax Highlighting

why do we need to call super.onCreate at all?

The bundle class is class that lets you store variables and types (and more), what can be used after restart of the app. (or after a freeze)
You can put integers, longs, strings, arrays, etc in the bundle, along with the keys to identify them. When needed, these values can be obtained by using those keys.

Like this:



See it like a backpack what the app is using.

Cheers

After seeing the date of his post, i think he's now expert
But this is then for others who are curious about this class
