Starting at http://developer.android.com/training/index.html
I selected the [ FIRST CLASS > ] button which takes me to
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html .
A page the explains the prerequisites for these lessons
- Download the Android SDK Starter Package.
- Install the ADT plugin for Eclipse (if you’ll use the Eclipse IDE).
- Download the latest SDK tools and platforms using the SDK Manager.
and a few other setup items, and then gives you an option of selecting
[First Lesson] or [Creating an Android Project] Both selections take you to
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.html
Selecting [Creating an Android Project] takes you to a page that nicely walks
you threw the forms needed to create a blank project (No Code at this point)
and then give you an option to select [next lesson] -or- you can drop to the
bottom of the page and select [NEXT] both choices take you to the same place
“Running You App” (Still no code lines)
The first paragraph in Running Your App says
If you followed the [previous lesson] to create an Android project, it includes
a default set of “Hello World” source files that allow you to run the app right away.

I don’t see any source code or files for “Hello World” in any of the training pages up to this point. Did I miss something? Dose the tutorial miss a step? I’m sure I can whip up a “hello world” program from scratch without any problems, but if I never played with Android before. This could easily be a show stopper for me. Is their some information missing from these lessons, or did I miss something?
They recently re-did their site and appear to have removed several lessons/tutorials that used to be there. I haven’t read anything to explain why (I would assume they feel they are out of date, not up to current standards) or if they would be back.
