When I try to import the projects I get the dreaded "Unable to get system library for the project" in my Java Build Path Libraries tab.

What I did was use Eclipse to import the project. All the code is there. The gen folder is missing too...not sure how to create it (why wasn't this included in the download?).

How exactly do you go about importing these projects into Eclipse and create the gen directory with the R file in it?

Thanks!

I figured it out.

DON'T try to import the thing.

Create a new Android project and use the existing source.

Great tip!

Hi, when you say copy over the source to the new project do you mean everything - AndroidManifest, default.properties or just or just files in src and res directories. Thanks

I have basically the same question. I have tried several approaches and the code transfers over but when I try to run it I get errors. For example:

...and many more (75 to be exact) any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

I'm very new to this too, but I can import the downloaded projects using the method File - Import - Existing Projects Into Workspace

...but you have to check the box labeled "Copy Projects Into Workspace"

Looking at my files I have all the folders for the chapters sitting next to another folder called 'workspace' which I think Eclipse created as a default. When you import the projects they are copied into the workspace folder.

This method got rid of all the strange errors I had when trying to set it up the way the book said

After Importing the code example project into Eclipse I also got errors.

Another thing that I had to do in eclipse was set the "Project->Properties->Android" and select "Target Name = Android 2.1".

After doing that everything seemed to go.
