Invalid Project Description

Hey All, I am totally new to the world of app and was trying to create a dummy app - that effectively has some fun trivia questions. After creating using buzztouch, I downloaded the source code (used the android version) and tried to run on eclipse. Followed the readme.txt to the tee. When I tried to create the project from an existing source, the android 1.6 got checked (which is according to the readme). After that, when I click on finish, I get an error message that states Invalid Project Description. What is the project description and where should I enter the values? Please help with this! Thanks!

Hi amimaverick, Did you get the 'Hello World' test app to run? GO here and double check that you didn't miss a step in your setup, and that the test app will run: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

Thanks Parker! I did follow the guidelines at http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html. The test app is working well. I found out that if I move my folder to another location, it compiles with errors on src file - Obj_MapLocation.java. Any clue why?

Check to make sure you're project is buidling against Google v1.6 API's and that you have the Google Maps external library installed: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/index.html Scroll down a bit
