Just not sure. I made my first app on Buzztouch, downloaded the source, then loaded it into Eclipse. Strange note: there was no first tier item under "File" and "New" for android project (like in the video tutorial), instead there is File>>New>>Project... which then you can load a new Android project. So, I am trying to use an emulator/simulator I set up with AVD manager, but it will not run because I have errors... I am not sure what I am missing. When I use the code helper tool in Eclipse, it suggests "create class "GeoPoint"among others. Seems like GeoPoint should be a class, but I'm not 100% sure. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

Is this normal, do I need to go through all the BT files with the code helper tool to fix? Comments Just ran Android Lint, gave me 214 warnings.

The virtual test device has loaded differently for me, e.g. load my simple AVD with google api 2.2 the first time, it does not work. Shut it down and load it again... and it works. Not sure what this means for testing the app before you make your .apk for Google Play, other than test it on real devices before distribution. Good to know, thanks. -Led Comments Total guess, but I think the AVD mod is sketchy.
