My version of Eclipse seems to work differently than the one in BTU video Lesson 2: Android Operating System Basics.

I downloaded the "classic" Eclipse as per Google's recommendation. Also, I installed the APK as per Google recommendation. However, my File|New doesn't show a specific option for "New Android" as shown in the video. Is this common for the Windows version of Eclipse? I noticed in the video, Dave was using a Mac. Or did I do something wrong or perhaps miss a step? I already went through the preceding video, and followed all of Google's directions step by step. Any thoughts? Thank You for your time... Sincerely 5h0kw4v3

Hi @5h0kw4v3, Welcome to buzztouch! Not sure if you've seen it yet, but here is a step-by-step, illustrated guide to buzztouch and Android: https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/buzztouch_For_Android-A_Users_Guide.pdf What you're probably missing is the Eclipse ADT (Android Development Tools) Plugin. The document shows how to get that, and how best to bring your buzztouch project into Eclipse. If after reading the doc you still have problems, post back! Mark

5h0kw4v3 - I have this problem as well. I installed, reinstalled, and reinstalled again Eclipse, Android SDK and the plugins. But all I get is "File->New->Android Application Project" and "File->New->Android Project From Existing Code" (and some other things that are even less related). However, I've found that the "Android Project From Existing Code" works just fine, as does the "import" method in Mark's document. Frankly, I find the "import" method to be the quickest and easiest way - although I've only just started working with Android.
