Package name

Hi guys! I've downloaded the Android 1.5 version of my app today. I keep getting an error message in Eclipse and noticed that the src folder name no longer has two coms in the name. i.e. com.myproject.com and the name is shaded in Eclipse and won't let me rename / refractor the source. <manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android package=com.myproject android:versionCode=1 android:versionName=1.0> Also I noticed the code that was downloaded says Platform Android 2.2; API Level 8. Is this accurate and not Google API 1.6; API Level 4? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi Uncle Sam, It is true that v1.5 is using the Google (not Android) 2.2 API, Level 8. This is clearly spelled out in the Readme.txt file. I'm thinking if you update Eclipse to include that API, and recompile the program, you should be fine. I'd also spend a few minutes reading the very well written Readme.txt file that comes with your package...it'll save you several other headaches you may run into. Mark

Hey Uncle Sam, Yeah you're going to want to be using Google 2.2 API as per the directions in the README.txt file that comes with your Android project download. From the README.txt file: 'Build Target. The Google API's checkbox should automatically select after choosing the source of your new project in step 3. Verify that you are using Google API's Platform 2.2 and API level 8. A common mistake is to assume Android 2.2 API's and Google 2.2 API's are the same, they are not. If you don't see Google API's 2.2 in your list of available Targets see b above - you don't have the necessary SDK components installed. Be sure to include the Google Maps Library when you install the components.'

Thanks again guys! Buzztouch rocks! Now I have to figure out how to install the Google Maps library into Eclipse. The console code you guys did is excellent. No guessing here. I thought the maps library was included but I'm missing shared library. That's tomorrow's project along with the national debt.
