what did i do wrong and how do i fix this? Are there any other things i need to do to start making apps?

Did you create the project? http://wp.me/p1ZRa7-2Z

when i try to create an android project that option does not show

That option File Android Project Did you see Android Project ? If not sure send me an Email & I'll send you a screeshot.

no that does not show either. i must not have installed something.

Are you Windows? If so use the windows installer. http://wp.me/p1ZRa7-3o Might be overkill, but . . . A finer approach would be to tell you to install ADT & appropriate platform, I perfer overkill.

could someone post a screenshot of what it is supposed to look like?

In Eclipse click on About under Help and tell us what version of Eclipse you have installed, plus any pertinent info you see.

yes im using windows...i used something called android sdk tools and im not sure if it worked? whats your email?

Version: 3.7.1 Build id: M20110909-1335

What is the SDK starter package? and the ADT?... i already used the installer for windows.

Sounds to me like the Android SDK is not setup in Eclipse. Have a look at.. Help > How To's > Setting up your Android development environment (in the Android section)

Hi HotBoyRay, 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 should help get you going! Mark

Hi guys I am new to BT and have spent the last 3 hours trying to build my Android Dev Environment following the Setting_Up_Your_Android_Development_Environment_v1.2.pdf link in Marks post. I have installed Java JDK v6, SDK for Android, Eclipse 3.7.1, the necessary Add Ins and SDK into Eclipse, so pretty much 99% there. So started following Compiling_Your_Android_Application_v1.0.pdf doc to import my BT project int Eclipse. I have downloaded source code from BT, imported zipped project from my workspace. However my project does not show properly in the Package Explorer panel, it has an error which shows in the Console tab at the bottom with following error:- [2012-01-20 22:52:24 - XXXXXXXXXX] Unable to resolve target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:8' I am now losing the will to live so would appreciate any help i can get.....thanks
