Hi,

I'd purchased the 2nd edition book, but was having a problem getting the Earthquake app to build since currently I'm working with Android 2.0 and not 2.1. I'll revisit that when I get a chance and work on getting the version 2 example to build with Android 2.0.

So I grabbed the source from this edition, and immediately I had a problem with the downloaded code.

I was getting errors related to IEarthquakeService and R already being defined.

In the project as downloaded both IEarthquakeService.java and R.java existed in the source tree. These were found in src/com/paad/earthquake along with the rest of the source files for the project.

These files are both auto-generated, so should not exist in the main source tree. At least removing them from the downloaded source code allowed me to build and run the project.

There was another minor issue, the downloaded project did not set a target, so I fixed that as well.

There are still a few warnings, but the application now builds and runs in the emulator, including hitting the website to retrieve the data.

The Compass app has the same problem, you have to delete src\com\paad\compass\R.java.

Hi Burt, you say "Chapter11 Earthquake project did not build. How I got it working"
Did you mean chapter 10? Chapter 10 code builds ok for me, but won't run. Emulator and Nexus One say "The application Earthquake (process.com.paad.earthquake) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close." I get the same error for chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10. But I can build and run chapter 5 and 6 Earthquake code! So at least some of it works. Sure would like to get the Earthquake code in chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10 working.
