Under “Preparing for the Exercise” the instructions say to

  1. Download the project exercises archive (.zip).
  2. Unpack the archive file to a suitable location on your machine.
  3. Open the NotepadCodeLab folder.

QUESTION 1 – What is considered a suitable location?
I unpacked the samples to.
– *c:\Development\NotePadTutorieal* –
BUT I don’t want to modify the files here. Sometimes I need (or just want to) work the tutorial 2 or 3 times from scratch, and would prefer my base files serve as an untouched template, so I can restart from scratch if necessary. I’d like to have the working code for the tutoriel end up where all my other Android Projects are stored at c:\Development\eclipse… but weather I select “Create Project from from existing source” – or – “Create project from existing sample” it seems to leave the files where they are, and work on them in suite (modifying what I’d like to keep as a reusable template) – Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.
Joe

    Why don’t you just keep two copies? Work on one, and let the other serve as your untouched template.

    EDIT: Make a copy of the entire NotePadTutorial folder in c:\Development\eclipse\ and work on it there. Leave the other one untouched.
