Thank you so much! I was having a bit of trouble figuring out what to download and how to hook it all together on my 64 bit Vista, but your guide worked a treat!
Things changed slightly with the new version 7, yet I was able to figure out everything on the installation from your notes.
I ran into a few problems with the project and found these fixes for them.
Error starting project: "An SDK Target must be specified"
I found this error is due to me not setting the SDK location preference in Window / Preferences / Android. Once set, I had three available: Android 1.1, Android 1.5, and Google APIs.
Error running project:
- no classfiles specified
- Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1
This is a weird one. I found I had to highlight the project and hit F5 to clear this error. The project has a red x on it until you do F5 once for some reason.
Error 2 running project:
Android AVD Error. No compatible targets were found. Do you wish to a add (sic) new Android Virtual Device?
This gave me an option to create an Android Virtual Device, so I filled in the settings (below), clicked Create AVD, selected the one I just created, then clicked Finish.
Name: Android-1.5-Emulator
Target: Android 1.5 - 1.5
Skin: Default (HVGA)
Wow! Now I actually have an emulator up and running!!! I see Hello World!
I never could have done it without your help. I really appreciate the time you took to put all this together. I hope the notes I added there will help anyone who runs across the troubles I did.
