It’s still just as temperamental as it’s always been. I copied code directly from the Android developer’s website, keeping the formatting, and it did not work. It gave me an error that no one has reported through google. I purged that project, created a new one, copied the code again, and this time it’s not giving me the error. It’s still refusing to launch the emulator, something about @foo, which is not very clear, but I might be making progress.
Eclipse is like a less polished version of Visual Studio. Admittedly, it’s more general purpose, and less honed to design mobile apps for android, and the wizards for creating new projects and viewing your layout on different screen sizes are pretty nice. It’s just a shame that you have to write the code in Java.
*Update* I finally got the emulator running. Turns out that the default path the files get installed to has a space in the folder name, and the emulator can’t handle spaces in the folder name. They’ve only been doing that since 1995, so I guess it’s understandable.
