Problems packaging to .apk

So I spent around an hour building a complex small biz app. I downloaded the source files and opened in eclipse and tried following the steps. But nothing seems to work..no emulator pops up, nothing. Just says there is like 100 errors.... saw some things that looked like map key errors but I don't even have a map activity in the app. All very overwhelming, I just want to figure it out so I can keep making apps. Anyone that can help? Or at least let me send the. Source files so they can package and send me back the. Apk I need.

Did you have a look at the hello world test app video David put together in your control panel? It'll show you how to download all the APIs and so on. Few people have stumbled here but check out the video and you'll have it going. It'll show you how to set up first phone simulator as well. Post back if you are having troubles after that. Good luck.

Ive gone through alot of tutorials, but maybe I didnt set up everything right? I sent it over to someone to try and package for me, and they said there was something wrong with the source file?

Hi Kreativ31, I know that if your google maps setup is wonky you'll receive about 100 errors. So that is probably the source of your frustrations. To properly setup Eclipse follow all of these directions for your specific operating system: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html For google maps: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=A908E4423240A42E68521C0 and http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=A4EFEF66A1F4DD8D0B17D8F&status=&searchInput=maps&sortColumn=FT.dateStampUTC&sortUpDown=DESC¤tPage=1&doViews=1
