I have the same error in every project in Chapter 5 up to and including
"Menus" project which does not involve images. I retested the projects in
chapters 1 thru 4 and they do not have any errors.

The error appears to occur as soon as I start the debug and I think maybe this error might have something to do with Eclipse itself. Any Ideas would be
appreciated.

Hi ken
All I can say is look in LogCat. It should say something about the error. Copy the error messages and post them. Maybe then I can see some thing.
Eclipse seems to be very stable. I have not had any problems, other than figuring out how to run it.

Here at length are the error messages form the First project in Chapter 6. I hope they are at least marginally readable.

Hi Ken
Wow. I have not seen anything like that. It would seen that there is something wrong in Eclipse, but what I have no clue.
At this point your best bet is taking this question to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/android
There are people there who know there stuff.

I also should state that I look at the Log Cat and there is nothing in it. It looks
like the crash occurs immediately upon starting the test.

Problem solved! I reloaded Eclipse and the latest version of Java. Thanks for
all the advice.

My solution was premature. What i get now whenever I run any project including this one is:

Hello!!! I'm new here =) I got the book "Beginning Android Application Development 2011" and have a problem with the source code examples you can download with the book. When I import any of the example projects it shows it's full of errors. "Cant be resolved to type" errors on almost every line. I know I'm missing something basic here, but as I said I'm new and just learning. I already tried the refresh solution and deleted the R.java, but still the same. Here's the code, it's really simple... I shoved the error code next to the lines. These are not all the errors, but I think there is some simple solution to them all, something that I missed. I imported the project to my workspace through file - import! Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

package net.learn2develop.Activities;

import android.app.Activity; <- error: The import android cannot be resolved
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity { <- error: Activity cannot be resolved to a type
String tag = "Events";

int request_Code = 1;

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);<-The method setContentView(int) is undefined for the type MainActivity
Log.d(tag, "In the onCreate() event");
}

Intent i = new Intent("net.learn2develop.ACTIVITY2");

Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString("Name", "Your name here");
i.putExtras(extras);
startActivityForResult(i, 1);
}
return false;
}

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{

Hi Cavecat
First you should start you own question. You will get better response.

The problem is :
I have a few suggestions.
Try moving that line to bottom of the imports and see if the error says with it. If it shifts to the new first line, look above that for an error.
else
What target are you asking for (2.3.3)? If you don't know look in the manifest file.
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" /> 10 is 2.3.3
Open the Android SDK manger and make sure that you have downloaded all the files for that API. If all else fails, re-download that API.
Hope this helps
Cliff

Cliff2310 thank You for the reply. I tried your suggestion bus still nothing. In the manifest file it says minsdk version = 9. I currently have the 15th API version so I guess it must be OK. But I did download the 8th and the 10th API versions (there wasn't a 9th version in the list).

UPDATE (on the fly =) ): As I browsed around the project I stumbled across a property window for the class and there was a list of all the API's downloaded, but none of them were checked. As I remember I have to choose an API when I first create a project it struck me that I didn't create this project, but just imported it (a downloaded source of he book I'm reading), so I haven't specify any API. I checked the google API and everything is fine now. Thank You very much for the help, you directed me on the right way where to look for the problem, and API it was =)

Best regards,
Valters
