Question

I’m just getting started with eclipse and android development. One thing which is driving me crazy in eclipse is the problems panel with error/warning messages. It displays errors and warning from every project that I have added to eclipse. I only want to see feedback from the project (or ideally individual file) that I am currently working on).

For example, I have two android projects added to my eclipse workspace: HelloAndroid (a sample app) and SMSTest (an SMS2Toast example). Even with no files open, I see warning messages from both projects! Why is this!?! I shouldn’t see any output unless I actually have a file open…or is this just the way eclipse works? Should I be using a different workspace for each project?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

This will get mostly what you want:

1. Open the “Problems” view (Shift-Alt-X-Q)
2. In the right hand corner there is a drop down arrow
3. Select “Configure contents”
4. Then pay attention to the “Scope” options

I also highly recommend in that same menu “Group by” -> Java problem type.
