hi guys, ive tried everything to try and fix this, ive uninstalled everything 5 times, re downloaded all the sdks, but im still getting loads of errors, even before ive added play services, what i have noticed is that when i put the project in eclipse, i dont have a play jar fil in lib, even after i install play services, anybody any idea what im doing wrong, xcode was a doddle compared to eclipse lol thanks sean

Hi Sean, Check out these two videos I did recently. They're unedited, but should give you what you need to know: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4993711/Eclipse_ADT_Install.mp4 (For Mac, but the basic premise is the same for Windows/Linux) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4993711/Import_Self_Hosted_Into_Eclipse.mp4 (Works for BT.com projects as well) Mark

cheers mark, im gonna uninstall everything and start again, im even gonna install java and reinstall, am i right in thinking even though im running 64 bit, im better installing the x86 of java and eclipse sean

Yea, the x86 version of Java seems to be more stable. If you're doing this on a Mac, Java is already installed. Just grab the ADT package from Google and you're good to go.

no im doing it on pc, will doing it on my mac make it easier :)

You don't have to mess with the Java install on Mac, because it's already there. If you're doing iPhone development as well, might as well have both Eclipse and Xcode on the same box!

yeah true, im gonna try on mac, thanks for your help dude, fingers crossed lol :)

hi followed your video to a tea, my mac was following your actions screen for screen, but as soon as i import my project at the end of your tutorial i get 281 errors, its a new download of the project from buzz as well, installed it all from fresh on the mac, and i still get the errors at the end,, is there anyway a plugin is conflicting or something

You'll get errors until you link the Google Play Services library. Did you do that already?

yes dude, when i link the google play service, i get 100s of more errorsif i take api down to 2.2 i only get 3

the main error is (r cannot be resolved in a variable) and they all seam to be java problems, ive cleaned the machine reinstalled java x86 and i get the same errors as when i used the 64 bit java, iv also installed x84 eclipse, but still get the same probs, i also dont get play service jar file in libs

i go from 180 errors to 280 errors when i link the google play services, im getting the green arrow telling me its linked ok, ive followed all the videos and turorials, but nothing works, been at this for 4 days now, can anybody test my app for me, and see if its something within the app that eclipse conflicts with. thanks sean

is there anybody here can help me, ive hit brick wall, i dont know what im doing wrong, ive built on eclipse before and never had these problems to start with

Feel free to zip up your project, I don't mind running it through Eclipse and feeding back my findings - let me know.

thanks for the offer dude, but Im looking for one of the more experienced coders to look at it, as theve got loads of form with eclipse and its funny little ways, I have built apps on here for android before, but since david changed the code, something has changed, i think its to do with the google play link, im not sure, thanks for the offer though Sean
