I'm trying to open up my download in eclipse and the instructions are tell me to select "open project from existing source" option, but I don't have that option. I can only name my project, and then select the api levels i want to use via drop down menus. Maybe my version is newer? Do i need to use the import feature? I did try that but there was a lot of errors in the code. Any ideas? Title Comments Hi again everyone.

I have to use 'File' > 'New' > 'Other' > 'Android' > 'Android Project from Existing Code' Cheers! -- Smug Comments You can never go wrong with GoNorthWest's tutorials.

Smug has it nailed...that's the way to go! Comments Yep...the method to open your project has changed since the doc was written, unfortunately. Smug has it nailed...that's the way to go!

It is possible that Eclipse version changed or we have something newer. I also looked for it for quite a while. Then you import the whole folder. When you change the project, you have to delete your existing project from the workspace first. The new download will have the same name BT_Root... and it would not allow you to import it. By the way, you may experience problems with AVD, if it crashes, you have to manually delete your AVD from the folder where they are stored.

Not sure on windows; in the Mac, it's in your user directory <username>/.android/avd/<devicename>.avd Cheers! -- Smug Comments If you're getting that pesky 'device still in use' error even when it's not, you have to quit AVD, quit eclipse, and delete it directly.
