Prerequisites for Android Xperience :- Configuring your computer / Github account

[Carlus Henry]

Good morning everyone,

Attached to this announcement, you will find the prerequisites documents on how to get your machine configured so that you are ready for the Android Xperience (Thanks Jonas).  Along with installing the necessary software, you also may want to sign up for a github account if you do not already have one.  While this is not mandatory for the first meeting, we are still bouncing around some ideas that would include using GitHub for storing some of the code that we develop.

If there are any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Thanks

Carlus

Or you could use the new Android Studio, which is what the Android site is recommending now. http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html

I may not be able to make this first meetup as we have a cub scout bike ride scheduled, so unless it's raining, I won't be able to make it. :(

We are definitely interested in the new Android Studio based on IntelliJ and we are open for ways to integrate that into the next couple of months.  However, when we weighed the option of attempting to learn a new IDE on top of putting on this event, we landed in the camp of choosing to use Eclipse which is the tool that we are most familiar with.  This way, we can spend more time learning Android, and less time attempting to get familiar with a new tool.

However, with that being said, I am definitely interested if you or anyone else wants to give us an overview of IntelliJ, so that we can be up to speed on the tool and have a better migration path to IntelliJ in the future.  But for now, if everyone can use the same IDE (Eclipse), that will help the meeting go a lot smoother.

Thanks

Also, I have started using the new Android Studio and it lives up to its current designation of an Early Access Release.  It will usually crash for me within the first 15 minutes of using it.  Definitely not production ready.

Hi team - 

I've installed Eclipse and other ADT tools according to the install doc.

But when I import sample project (ContactManager), I get 39 errors. Most of them related to R resource.

Am I doing something wrong? Any insights is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Murali.

[Dan Mikita]

Typically when you have compile errors related to the R file it is because the R file hasn't been updated.  If you aren't already aware, the R file is generated differently for everyone, thus you never want to check that into any version control system.  Every time I have had that issue I needed to do a clean & build within Eclipse.

Give that a try and let me know if that works.

Thanks,

Thanks Dan.

I tried Clean and Rebuild as you suggested.

I am getting the following errors.

Description Resource Path Location Type

account_entry cannot be resolved or is not a field ContactAdder.java /ContactManager/src/com/example/android/contactmanager line 367 Java Problem

When I check the line, I am not sure what's wrong here. 

setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.account_entry);

I have tried to close the project, delete it and recreate the project from samples - as mentioned the Quick installation document.

What do you suggest from here?

Thank you for your assistance.

Murali.

Murali,

Did you run this step:

4. If you see build errors right click ContactManager project > Android Tools > Fix Project Properties

Thanks

[Murali.Gopalan]

Yes, I did run that step several times.

Last night - I did a clean start to the process - still ended up in the same issue.

Thanks,

Murali.

In both the email .pdf attachment, and the Google Doc, in the first sentence, "your best option is to download the Android Developer Tools bundle which can be found here", "here" looks like a link, but is not.  I infer that it is also supposed to be http://developer.android.com/sdk.  Then click "Download the SDK ADT Bundle for Windows."
