Here is a configuration guide with step-by-step instructions that should get you going regardless of your BT version: http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Setting_Up_Your_Android_Development_Environment_v1.3.pdf Hope this helps!

OTG Applications Aspiring developer Posts: 22 Reg: Jun 07, 2011 Mentor,Ohio 1,770	03/29/12 05:01 PM (13 years ago) Thanks all for the prompt responses... but I created a different work around I had to change the name of my app as it had characters in it like : once I changed the name and re-download it and opened it in eclipse the errors were gone. What was confusing me was that when I loaded the project the first time around the proper 1.6 api was checked but still got the errors.

It's always a good idea to avoid special characters in app names....they tend to throw things off, and make package naming difficult. Best to stick with a-z, A-Z and 0-9. Mark Comments Weird!

amnamn I hate code! Posts: 3 Reg: Feb 14, 2012 Provo, UT 1,980	12/19/12 02:33 PM (13 years ago) I know this is an old thread, but I spent several hours trying to figure this one out, so hopefully someone will benefit from this answer. For me (I'm on Windows 7 by the way), I went into the Android SDK manager (If your in Eclipse you go to Windows/Android SDK Manager)and installed the "Android SDK Platform-tools." I'm brand new at this (just started yesterday) so I don't know why this fixed my problem, but it did. Hope this helps. -Ammon Comments I know this is an old thread, but I spent several hours trying to figure this one out, so hopefully someone will benefit from this answer.
