Default Problems with starting first android project.

Hi,

I've got a chapter 2 problem,starting a new android project.
When I selected:
File-> new->project->Android->Android project->"next"buton. In eclipse.
I do get the screen that looks like figure 2-4 from the book.
But the "finish" button remains shaded.
I'm supposed to fill in a package name. But none of my package name's will be accepted. Becuase it's not a Java identifier.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

(I know i'm a beginner)

Thank you

Yes, most likely it is your package name. It should tell you on top of that screen which field is the issue. I didn't know what I was doing when i first started as well, but if you look at figure 2-11 a little later in the chapter you can see an example of the package name.

Hi,

I already created "HelloWorld"for java, also in eclipse. Not that that's special but with java i had an empty sheet where i could type the code in.
With Android i havn't.
Does anyone know how to solve this beginner issue? :) :)

Thank you!
