Ok so i found buzztouch last night and have been looking into it scince, ive done the first few lessons etc. ive started to create an app but when i try to download the source code for android i get the "preparing" screen then thats it, noting else happens. i have downloaded eclipse but cant seem to open it as its just a load of files to read and no actual program to start? does it run automaticaly?

Recommend you read my guide, MySkylla's Guide to Buzztouch www.MySkylla.com Go to the Android Section and read The Android Process Fred

Hi @oliverengland, Welcome to buzztouch! Check out the documents here : http://www.buzztouch.com/resources There are tons of illustrated, step-by-step guides that show you how to get going. If those don't help, let me know, and we'll work to get you going! Mark

i seem to be having trouble with the whole oracle/java thing. ive downloaded oracle, i keep getting messages saying i need to download java development kits which i do and i keep getting the same messages.

Are you running Windows or Mac?

windows

windows

Have you gone through this guide? It's specific for Windows. http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Setting_Up_Your_Android_Development_Environment_v1.3.pdf

ok so ive re downloaded all the files i need going by your guide, i have to install java first but when i double click on it i get the option to run or cancel, i clicked run and nothing has happened?

Sometimes it takes a few moments to actually have the installer launch, and sometimes you have to enter your user password in order to give Windows permission to install. Make sure there isn't an icon down below on the task bar that shows it's waiting for your input. If you would like...we can do a TeamViewer session and I can install stuff for you. Just let me know!

ok how do we do that? im very new to this so any help is a gift for me

Do a Google search for TeamViewer...download the portable editor and get it running. Then send me the login info: MrkFleming at gmail dot com Mark
