i have recentlty installed the software im having trouble uploading my app on to eclipse need some advice

Hello, what type of issues are you having? I too had and still have some issues with Eclipse, but maybe we can work them out together. I finally got things up and running but having an issue loading my application.

I have a almost step by step guide. It's probably worth a read. Start with Installing Eclipse and continue with The Android Process. www.MySkylla.com

Here's a step-by-step with screenshots: http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Compiling_Your_Android_Application_v1.0.pdf And, this is worth a look to make sure you have all the pieces installed for Android: http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Setting_Up_Your_Android_Development_Environment_v1.3.pdf Let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks a bunch! @Fred I did check out your blog, it was really helpful. I actually saw some new things when I reloaded and added my images to the doc in the assets. Now it has a force close error, so Im working on that as we speak! I know its all a process and once I get through the bugs it will be worth the struggle!

It the force close issue appears after adding images it's usually due to a space (or illegal character) in a screen nickname. Fred

Also, @AppChick, there is a bug with background colors...so I would avoid those as well. Mark

Okay I noticed when I played around with it, because my image wasnt coming up, it begane this forced close error. Ill check it out now. Thanks for the swift responses! You rock!

Okay also, what about my images they have a - and are also png. would this be an issue?

Having .png is OK (I believe), but it's best to remove any weird characters from the filename. Android doesn't like that! If you look at the Readme file that came with your download package, they spell out exactly what to do with images, and the issues with them and Android. Mark

A - not allowed in BTv2.0 for images because the BT_images folder is in the res folder. Use a _ instead. Fred

From the Readme file: "ECLIPSE ONLY ALLOWS LOWER CASE LETTERS IN IMAGE NAMES. This means the image you add to the /res/drawable directory must have lower-case file names. This also means that all the images named in your control panel must also have lower case file names." So, png and jpg are supported. I'd remove any - or _, and just stick with lower case names, no spaces. Mark

Thanks Mark, I just changed all of that a few seconds ago. Im sure its something that I just need to go back and change because now im receiving "Sorry the application lgo (process com.lgo) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" I think I will refresh and start from scratch. Also I have 3 icons for my application all different versions, how do I delete them so I can just focus on one?

Did you update the BT_Config.txt file on your development computer (the one running Eclipse)? If you copy the configuration data from your control panel, paste it into BT_Config.txt, refresh the project, then do a Project...Clean in Eclipse, and build again, it might take care of things. If you are running this in the Emulator, there should be some info in LogCat that will tell us what's going on. Mark

Geez, why is it everytime I refresh it posts my last message? Making me look like a re-re... lol Sorry.

Hey AppChick...you've posted the same post 4 times now. Are you hitting refresh, or are you trying to tell us the question is still open? Mark

Im little late for this convo however i have installed eclipse and when i open it up it does not look like the one from the instructional video it is a winrar im not for sure if download the correct one or if im missing something?

Read installing Eclipse & watch the video in my guide. www.myskylla.com Fred

thank you ill watc it right now

I have downloaded almost everything it says to download it still is not coming out right or uploading my project...theres a desktop item with 3 books i keep clicking on it and it doesnt have the ab on top where i can create a new project

all it contains 6 sub-directories and several files.

Have you confirmed your Eclipse install was complete?

it says the archive was unknown or damaged

Thank you very much for your help ans support i wont give up i have uninstalled everything and reinstalling it question when i installed the eclipse it says that i have 40 day fee trial will this affect me on making the app or did i download the wrong software

40 day free trial? Did you get the right eclipse? I remember having issues with what eclipse version I was using. the only one the works correctly for me using windows is eclipse windows 64.

Hi @Btirre88, Check out this document. It's step-by-step, showing you exactly what to download from where. It should help you get going. http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Setting_Up_Your_Android_Development_Environment_v1.3.pdf Mark

i downloaded the windows 32 thank you for your help im going to try to redownload it should i download the 64 even if my computer is a 32

Im right here and im not sure what to download. i downloaded again and it i don think i have he correct download so here is what i see from my end i pasted below what its telling to download is what i should be downloading? Eclipse downloads - mirror selection All downloads are provided under the terms and conditions of the Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement unless otherwise specified. Download eclipse-jee-indigo-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip from: Download [United States] The Pennsylvania State University (http) Checksums: [MD5] [SHA1] Torrent BitTorrent ...or pick a mirror site below.

First, the 64-bit version will not work on a 32-bit machine. So, just stick with the 32-bit one, and grab it from that first link you mention (not the mirror). From there just continue to follow the instructions! You are doing this on Windows, correct? Mark

Use this link: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.2M6-201203151300/eclipse-SDK-4.2M6-win32.zip

Im doing it on windows i keep clicking it and it sends me to the mirrors

I don't know if I haven't had enough coffee or what but I keep rereading the same messages over and over, lol

probably need more coffee lol...what messages are you getting
