Select: Android > Android Project in the box that pops up. Next Name the Project. Select: 'Create project from existing source'. Browse to your extracted folder and hit ok. Android 1.6 should be automatically ticked in the 'build target' section, if it isn't, tick it. Hit 'Finish' and that should be it. Comments ok, in eclipse, Select: File > New > Project.

You need to be in eclipse, select: window > preferences > android then browse you PC for the location of the android sdk (if you did a default install it will be in program files > Android > android-sdk Also make sure you downloaded and installed the relevant packages using the Android SDK and AVD Manager Any other problems give me a shout, see one of my earlier posts 'Android -Stuck?'
