Hi again... your other post was iOS, this one Android - ambition - awesome. 'I am getting an error' tells us nothing ;-) but your title suggests you don't have the Android SDK included in your Eclipse install. There are countless posts about this. Or, Google 'installing the android sdk' If you're BRAND NEW to this, it's OK, it will make sense in no time. It's a matter of getting your Xcode environment setup and your Android Environment setup. Google's a good resource, so is this forum, but it sounds like you'll have a steep learning curve for bit. Stick with it, it's worth it.

Cool, glad you got it working. What you want to upload to the market is called a 'Signed APK' - Eclipse + the Android SDK tools make it easy to do this. The instructions may have a few typos, or the order may be a bit off... but it's like this... a) Hightlight the project name in Eclipse b) Right-Click (command click on Mac) to show the context menu for the project c) The context menu has some options, look for Export Signed Application or Export Signed APK d) Follow Eclipses prompts, it's not difficult. You'll be uploading the .apk file that Eclipse creates so be sure to pay close attention to where Eclipse 'saves it' on your computer.

Because you are running buzztouch v1.4, layout, style, and other 'look-n-feel' type changes are done in the source-code. We released v1.5 for iOS last week and it makes this MUCH easier. For Android v1.5 is a ways from completion. So... this is not tough. Have a look in your project, open the /res/layout directory. You'll see all kinds of easily understandable / editable .xml files. The one you change will depend on what you're changing. The file names are self-explanatory and even a novice should be able to change simple things like color, font, etc. Re-post if you get stuck.

If you cannot edit an .xml file, something crazy is happening with your Eclipse install. The .xml files are simple, plain text files and can be edited with any simple text-editor - like the built in text editor that comes with Eclipse. Do this: Navigate to the files on your computere where you saved them, not in Eclipse, just use the regular windows directory browser thing. Open an .xml file with Notepad - do you get the same error? If not, edit the darned thing, then look at it again in Eclipse to make sure you are editing the fiile you thing you are. Eclipse should allow you to edit these files directly in it's 'development world' - sounds like it's not?
