Created my app now trying to figure out how to make it available to Droid Market

download the source code. download eclipse classic, and install the android sdk compile and export the source code with eclipse upload the sdk to the android market here: https://market.android.com/publish/ (you must pay I think $25 to become a android developer to upload your apps

Which folder is the source-code? I've done what you said and paid my $25. In the README TXT folder of what I downloaded it says choose source-code folder on your computer, a Google API's version 1.6 checkbox should be checked. Click finish and the App should compile & install on an ANDROID Simulator or Device. It's not as easy as they make it seem unless I'm missing something.

PART 1: 1. go to here: http://www.buzztouch.com/account/account_apps.php and find the app you want on the market 2. click on it, then click on Download project source-code then click on Prepare package for download for ANDROID button. 3. wait for it to compile and then download it to your desktop, it will look something like: APPNAMEHERE-Android-BTv15-EDD4A2953708160E545AAB7F7.zip 4. unzip that folder on your desktop. this is now the folder with your source code. PART 2: 1. open eclipse classic with the android SDK installed. ECLIPSE CLASSIC: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-371/indigosr1 ANDROID SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (PUT ANDROID ASK INTO A FOLDER LIKE /PROGRAM FILES(x86)/ANDROID/ (INSTALL ECLIPSE IN A FOLDER LIKE /PROGRAM FILES(x86)/ECLIPSE/ 2. Make sure eclipse knows where the android SDK is - (go to WINDOW > PREFERENCES > ANDROID) and browse it to your ANDROID SDK (somewhere located like /PROGRAM FILES(x86)/ANDROID/ if thats where you put/installed it). 3. Launch the SDK downloader (the android sdk manager), and download anything and everything you see related to android, I just downloaded ALL of everything, it will take an hour or two if you take that route. locate this downloader in ECLIPSE > WINDOW > ANDROID SDK AND AVD MANAGER 4. now CREATE A NEW ANDROID PROJECT in ECLIPSE. GO TO FILE > NEW > PROJECT > ANDROID PROJECT a. PUT NAME OF APP IN b. Create from EXISTING SOURCE (and browse to your source folder on desktop) c. make sure google api 8 2.2 is checked in and click FINISH. 5. right click on your project folder in eclipse and click EXPORT. 6. now enter some information and CREATE and save your KEY to the desktop like appname.key 7. save your APK on your desktop like appname.apk 8. make sure in the screen wen it asks you set your certificate to 100 years. 9. hit FINISH or DONE or APPLY and it will compile it (might freeze for a minute after you hit the button) if it is successful, you will see your appname.apk on your desktop. that is your compiled app. no go to your newly purchased android developer profile, and click upload app, then select your android app (apk file) and click upload. the rest is up to you mate! I will keep a eye and subscribe if you have any more questions, I remember setting up my computer for android too, it was hell, hopefully it wont be so bad for you. take care, David

I thought I had it. While creating file in Eclipse when I went to upload it it gave me errors needing corrected. All these seemed to point to Java. I downloaded Java SE Development Kit 7u1 for Windows 86. Maybe I downloaded the wrong Java JDK for my computer. My computer is a Microsoft Windows have XP [Version 5.1.2600]. Do you know where I went wrong? I'm just about there?

http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u1-b08/jdk-7u1-windows-x64.exe this is the one you need :) if you see warnings in eclipse thats okay, errors are not, errors should go away with this
