Question

So I am trying to work through the example here:

http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/graphics/SurfaceViewOverlay.html

and on the last import line it says

//Need the following import to get access to the app resources, since this
//class is in a sub-package.
import com.example.android.apis.R;

Question is where do I get the package that contains this? I found very little info online and obviously don’t have it already since it’s underlined red when I type it. I know this is probly a noob question but hey we all start somewhere…

Answer 1

Try to run this example using the android sample app.

To install and run the Android Sample apps follow the instructions here:

http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/get.html

To help you get started quickly, the Android SDK includes a variety of
sample code and tutorials that illustrate key concepts and techniques
of Android application development. For example, the samples show the
structure of the manifest file and the use of activities, services,
resources, intents, content providers, and permissions. They also show
how to add specialized capabilities to your apps, such as Bluetooth
and Contacts integration, multiple screens support, Live Wallpaper,
and more.
