Importing the ProgrammingAndroid2Examples Projects To Eclipse . . . about programmingandroid2examples HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey Corinthian13
In reverse order!

1. The issues you describe WERE sorted out by the 4 Android experts that wrote the book! We expected, exactly, problems like this and did our best to address them. Our book, though, is about Android, not about Eclipse. We did not cover every issue that could be encountered by every newcomer to the platform.
2. Please read through the book chapter on this project. You are correct: it takes some extra configuration to get the project to build. The extra configuration, though, is described in detail, in the book.
3. It is true! There are projects here that are not immediately importable! Please read the book for a description of what those projects are, and how to use them
4. You are using Import >> Android >> Existing Android Code into Workspace, instead of Import >> General >> Existing Projects into Workspace, as our directions recommend. Try doing it our way. It works better.

Christ, you're quick enough to close threads, aren't you ?

Where were such directions given ?
In the book ?
In the README file for your download site ?

I'd love to try it your way.
But I don't see how.
And others - see Stackoverflow forum on this very issue - apparently haven't either.

As I said, our book is about Android, not about Eclipse. There are some great Eclipse books out there, if you are interested.

You are quite correct, though, that we do not describe in detail, how to do this. We have to start somewhere.

Please cite a specific Stack Overflow issue. I’ll address the problem there.

It's not on importing your book's projects specifically but importing Android projects in general :
