In any case follow the steps mentioned below. You need to download the project file from BT. After that in Eclipse you need to press File option (on top of window). Then select Import option--> choose Existing projects in to workspace--> press next--> select this option- "Select archive file" and browse the location where you downloaded your BT project (zip file)--> press finish. Your project will now show in the project explorer. Remember to compile the app for Google API Level 8. If you dont have google api 8 then download it from the android sdk manager which you can find it at the top with a droid icon with a downward arrow on eclipse window. To select api you need to right click on the project file and select Properties-->Android--> and then select Google API 8.

Here's a video I did that shows how to go from the BT control panel all the way into running the app on the Emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV3Ofi2602I There are also numerous videos there that show you how to set up Eclipse if needed. Sandeep's instructions above are spot on...I just offer the videos in case you need a visual. Mark Comments Hi @Schyler, Welcome to Buzztouch!

Then hit OK, wait for the workspace to refresh, and try running your app again.
