Question

I’m pretty new to android, and just finished setup my environment and reading some tutorials. Then I got sdk samples from the web. Okay, what I wanna ask you is that is there a way to start a sample as a project in the Eclipse? I mean like clicking a project file in c# or a solution file.

Here is my folder which I unzipped the code,
\android-sdk-windows\samples\android-8\NotePad

There are three folders and one file in the folder, \res, \src, \tests, and AndroidManifest.xml

Or, do I need to make a new android project and import (or add files? maybe) them?

Thanks in advance,
yokyo

Answer 1

1. From eclipse go to: File > New >
   Project…
2. Select the Android Folder and pick
   Android Project
3. Then in the Contents section at the
   top click the “Create project from
   existing sample” radio button. Once
   you pick a target from the bottom
   the drop down will become selectable
   and your good to go.
