  5. TCKDevelopment says:

    @alexexc2 Did you wait for the simulator to turn on fully? It displays “Android” when booting.

  6. alexexc2 says:

    @TCKDevelopment hello there!!!!! Yes I wait like 10 minutos and nothing happens…… I’am Using Galileo and I Downloaded froyo 2.2 in windows XP ….. Android does not appears like the video… only with “ANDROID_”… can you helpme??????

  7. TCKDevelopment says:

    @alexexc2 It could be a few things. Watch my setting up eclipse vid and see if that gets it. If not PM me.

  8. alexexc2 says:

    @gamerhansen The first time can take some time… Usually not 20 min but it depends on the computer. My mac pro runs it in under 3 min.

  10. alexexc2 says:

    @TannerKilgore1 thank you for the help… I thinnk my computer is the problem….. I have 1.6GHZ Intel Atom and 1 GB RAM….. maybe is for that… well… thanks…. you help meeee

  11. TCKDevelopment says:

    @alexexc2 I didnt realize I was signed in on my other channel. That is defiantly going to be a stretch to get running for android.

  12. alexexc2 says:

    Gracias por todo TCKD….. eres un master… saludos a la banda

  13. jennifersexable says:

    dude … can you tell me whats the use of all the imports you did ?

  14. TCKDevelopment says:

    @jennifersexable Your linking-compiling against android-java frameworks and classes that are essential to run the app. Try compiling without them.

    Thanks for the tutorial.

    Thanks for the tutorial! You just got a new subscriber. It would help a lot more if you actually explained the code as you were typing it.

  17. TCKDevelopment says:

    @onlivegamer Way to much time. There is usually a full text version explaining everything at the website in the description. Thanks

    hey i just have a question about the actual structure of the application files. in your tutorial u edited the .java file however in other tutorials ive seem ppl edit the .xml file in the layout. now at first glance i would assume that the xml file is the look and layout since it is in the layout folder. but then my question is how are the 2 connected in the file structure OR do they have the same purpose with different ways of implementing them?

  19. TCKDevelopment says:

    @splinterz91 Xml would tell the button what size to be, shape, color. Java would tell it what to do (For,click,Do). I hope this makes sense. Thanks
