Setting up your first android project

This post will focus on how to setup your first android project. Sorry for being tooooooooo late. Just follow the screenshots.

1.This will be your default screen when you will open Eclipse. The project explorer is basically...let me think...yep its like a browser window that will show all the files related to your project.

2. Now go to File->New->Project. You will get the following window. Select the Android Application Project and Click Next.

3. Now as told earlier we will be developing applications for Android 2.2. Enter the relevant details. Explanations are given in the screenshot. Change the application name as you see in the screenshot. You can give it any name you want, but for learning purpose and to avoid any mistake just follow what I am doing.

4. A custom launcher icon is the icon of your application. For example you see birds
in Angry Birds Application icon..same thing. Those familiar with java or C++ Activity in android are nothing but another term given to classes.
Workspace is the location where your projects are saved on your hard drive.

5.  Browse the launcher icon. Doesn't requires any explanation

6. Now create the activity class. For the time being make it a Blank Activity.Click next.

7.  Follow the screenshot.

8. Click finish and your final screen should be like this.

 
More Explanations would be given in next post + We will begin with the layouts. Any queries, suggestions just leave here. Video Tutorials are in progress but first lets see the demand. For those with limited data plans, these tutes are specially for them.
