First time trying to build an app. I followed the direction from the readme.txt and tried opening the folder I dowloaded from buzztouch in Eclips and it would not even let me name the project- error (An SDK Target must be specified . I tried importing and came up with errors. Description Resource Path Location Type The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for java.lang.Object. Fix the build path then try building this project v1_4.buzztouch Unknown Java Problem Description Resource Path Location Type The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files Screen_Video.java /v1_4.buzztouch/src/com/v1_4/BE0FCB08AAE05E36CB0967DF/com line 1 Java Problem Description Resource Path Location Type Unable to resolve target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:4' until the SDK is loaded. v1_4.buzztouch Unknown Android Target Problem I need help. Thanks

OK, don't get discouraged, 100% of the time these things are related to your Eclipse install and all the necessary parts needed before your machine will compile Android projects. Did you also watch the video? It shows some screen shots during the process and your computer must be setup like the screen shots. At minimum, it sounds like you don't have the Google Android SDK and the Gooble Maps External API's installed. There are dozens of discussions about this in the forum, or, you could start by doing a Google Search for 'how to install the Android SDK' It get frustrating, but it's totally worth it. Good luck and re-post if you can't get your machine configured.

Trust me mate, Ive gotten as far a actually getting everything installed, but when compiling, I get so many errors, I just gave up. Not very user friendly, eclipse. Hope you can figure it out through :) David.

If you guys don't understand how to install Eclipse along with the needed Android SDK components, you'll never get anywhere. Start by understanding how Eclipse works - it will all make sense then ;-)

I started a new Android project and I come up with this. ( An Eclipse project already exists in this directory. Consider using File > Import > Existing Project instead.) How do I see the projects and where are they. I keep coming up with errors. I would like to just start over so I downloaded the sorce code and replaced it with the one I had.

This is just Eclipses way of letting you know that you've already created an app in the same place your saving the new app. This may or may not be the case, Eclipse is funky sometimes. If you've watched the video (Android, getting started, compiling video) can you duplicate those steps EXACTLY? I create projects literally everday and always keep them in the same directory. Eclipse yells at me sometimes but it works fine.

OK I got it to load but it loaded with errors. ([2011-02-23 21:57:37 - com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.internal.project.AndroidManifestHelper] Unable to read C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\AndroidManifest.xml: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\AndroidManifest.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)-- any ideas?

Yup, still sounds like you havn't got Eclipse straightened out. This shouldn't be this hard - pout face. Maybe you could re-visit the Android dev. site and ensure that you have followed all the steps to setting up your machine. You could also try just creating a generic Hello World app and see if you can get Eclipse to behave.
