http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/

I have eclipse setup with Subversive plugin, I can download the codes down to my eclipse with the SVN method URL, but I just couldnt find a way to compile this code successfully!

Can any kind soul give this noob a step by step guide on how to get apps-for-android locally, compile, and run it on my test phone?

Edit:
Basically, in Eclipse with Subversive plugin, I create a new project by

File->New->Other->SVN->Project from SVN

then I use this URL, http://apps-for-android.googlecode.com/svn

Then on this screen, I dont know what I should select, so I chosed: Checkout as a project with the name specified

enter image description here

Then the codes got downloaded to my workspace, with the SVN metadatas.

In my Eclipse, I can see that a new project has been created, but its not an android project.

I tried to use Android Tools to convert it to an Android project, but of course it did not work.

I also try to simply create a new project with the downloaded codes, and I was never able to compile it because Eclipse says there is an error with the project, but I cannot find the error at all.

I thought this is supposed to be very simple, but I have spent one afternoon on this, so thus looking if anyone has done this before to advise me…

Thanks.

    SVN is simply a version control system for source code. Importing that code with SVN into Eclipse doesn’t mean it will create Android projects for the sample code you’re importing.

    Once you’ve imported apps-for-android (by the way, you don’t need the SVN plug-in at all, doing it from the command line works just as well), you can then compile the code by creating separate Android projects for each sample app.

    In Eclipse, go to File->New->Android Project. Then click on Create Project from Existing Source source, and click on the button to find the sources of the program (the path has to go all the way to the App name (for example: /Users/amt/apps-for-android/apps-for-android-read-only/SpriteMethodTest).

    The steps above assumes you already have the Android plug-in installed along with the Android’s SDK with the platform version of your choice.

    After creating your Android project, (depending on your Eclipse settings) it will compile it automatically or you can do it manually, right click on your project and select Run As Android Application. If the emulator is not running do this prior, else I think it should launch it for you.
