However, I have finally managed to create the source code for a small test-app, which I of course would like to become an APK file. To do that you are telling me to use Eclipse SDK ( I have downloaded the 3.7.1 version ). So I did, but when I tried to create a new project FILE > NEW > ANDROID PROJECT.....the android project is not an option ??? Only new java project and new project. So i tried the new project and choosed the create a new project from an Ant Buildfile, selected the downloaded sourcecode that I downloaded from Buzztouch ( AndroidManifest.XML ).....then I got the error message The file selected is not a valid Ant buildfile. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong ? Thank you in advance ! Best regards, Salezdude :-) Title Comments Hi, I am a TOTAL newbie when it comes to making apps with Buzztouch.

Here are a couple document that show you how to set up your Android environment, and how to import and compile your app : http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Setting_Up_Your_Android_Development_Environment_v1.2.pdf http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Compiling_Your_Android_Application_v1.0.pdf These are nice step-by-step instructions. Please give them a read, and post back if you have any further issues! Also...consider signing up for v1.5 Early Adopter program, from the My Account tab in your control panel. It has quite a few more features than v1.4. Thanks! Mark Comments Hi @salezdude, Welcome to buzztouch!

I did give the HTML form a go last night, and it kicked me back to the form page when I tried to do a search. Had to stop there, but will give it some more investigation tonight. Looks like good stuff! Mark Comments Hi @Fred, I have! Nice work. I did give the HTML form a go last night, and it kicked me back to the form page when I tried to do a search.
