But I use a mac for the most part, so I haven't dealt with the eclipse win install...

Buzztouch packages them all up as zip files. Check out this step-by-step video, demonstrated on Windows, on how to go from the BT control panel into the Android Emulator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV3Ofi2602I Mark Comments You won't be downloading a rar file from buzztouch onto a Windows platform.

I fallowed the video @northwest posted I clicked import i did not have an option for andiod so i did it the other way. General-> existing projects into workspace-> browse -> finish. This worked Then I did something which i don't know what i did. so i did the same steps again. General-> existing projects into workspace-> browse... this time it says Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace. Great so im guessing i need to remove them from workspace??? where is this workspace that the speak of??? Please help a hopeless cause. many thanks Comments Yeah ok, I did something to mess it up.
