Loading a Buzztouch project into ADT v21.0.1-543035 - doesn't work according to buzztouch instructions...

Hi - I am new to Buzztouch. Trying to download my first project into ADT. The ADT interface does not have the option for creating an Android project from existing project (in FILE --> NEW --> Adroid Application Project) as instructed in the buzztouch notes and buzztouch university. How can I import a buzztouch project into the ADT? Thanks for your help! Gloria

Hey Gloria, I agree with LA; those are good videos. But my install doesn't have it according to the tutorial either. What I do is go to "File" > "New" > "Other" > "Android" > "Project from existing Code" Hope this helps! Cheers! -- Smug

thanks LA for your quick response! i tried to load the existing android code into my ADT/Eclipse workspace. got 2 issues: 1) Error in ADT console: [2013-02-25 15:27:26 - BT_activity_root] Unable to resolve target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:8' [2013-02-25 15:27:27 - BT_activity_root] Unable to resolve target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:8' 2) Package Explorer called BP_activity_root (not the application name) any ideas? gloria

BTW: i get there by File --> Import --> Android --> Existing Android code into workspace. very confusing for me... haven't been coding since the mid 90's :-) appreciate your support! g.

Make you watch the go west videos also ... Very helpful with the errors and correct settings.. Try your settings .. Btactroot>properties>android>google API 2.2 8 .. Then hit apply

In reading this your other confusion may be the same as minewas...Bp activity root is your root folder name when importing.. Use this file..this is your buzztouch file.I think you imported correctly....one of videos makes this confusing a little

Key points to remember: - File Import - Project Clean - File Properties --> Android --> Google API (check box) - Right click on project --> Android Tools --> Fix Project properties
