Hello all,

I know I could develop android apps in eclipse, but I wanted to try my hand at doing all of the grunt work (i.e., command line) before I try that. So I created an android project with a command like:

Code: Select all

android create project --package com.android.helloandroid --activity HelloAndroid --target 2 --path <path-to-your-project>/HelloAndroid


(with necessary tweeks)

The problem is, when I run "ant debug", I get this:

Code: Select all

C:Users---DocumentsAndroid ProjectsSandbox>ant debug

Does anybody know the cause of this error?

Thanks in advance.

Got it. Don't allow *ANY* spaces in the file paths when dealing with ant...anyway, it works now!
