Hi Guys, I am having a good go at my first Android app but I am running into trouble. I consistently get 35 error messages and I don't know what to do about them. Here are the first few errors, has anybody got any idea? Thanks. "Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens ._BT_act_controller.java /BT_activity_root/src/com/gibraltarq line 1 Java Problem" "Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens ._BT_activity_base.java /BT_activity_root/src/com/gibraltarq line 1 Java Problem" "Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens ._BT_activity_root.java /BT_activity_root/src/com/gibraltarq line 1 Java Problem" "Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens ._BT_activity_root_tabs.java /BT_activity_root/src/com/gibraltarq line 1 Java Problem" "Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens ._BT_application.java /BT_activity_root/src/com/gibraltarq line 1 Java Problem" "Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens ._BT_color.java /BT_activity_root/src/com/gibraltarq line 1 Java Problem"

Is that a 'dot' at the beginning of each filename? Are you on a Macintosh? Cheers! -- Smug

Hi Smug, Yes, I am on a Mac. This is a dot but when I look up the path there is no such files. Let me give you a bit of background: This is second time I download the source code for this app. The first time around, a plugin (that I used for an IOS app) was causing a lot of errors and @GoNorthwest kindly helped me to remove the files to try and sort it out. These files did start with a period underscore ._BT_fileManager.java and they now don't show anymore. Now I have deleted the guilty plugin from my control panel. So why the error message pointing to them I wonder? Thanks, Farcat

Apple creates a LOT of files that start with a dot. This is used for internal Mac housekeeping, but may very well be affecting your app. You won't see them (by default) because they're hidden. You don't see this behavior on the PC. http://mactips.info/2008/11/invisible-dot-files-revealed http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13176/xfolders Check out xfolders; it'll allow you to view those invisible files (choose 'show system files') Except for things like .DS_Store and .trashes, you can usually get rid of them. Hope this fixes your issue! Cheers! -- Smug

Spot on Smug! Got the files, deleted them and the app is running on the simulator. It isn't pretty yet but it is there! Thanks for your help. Farcat
