Thanks for all ur suggestions.. The problem got fixed itself after few reruns of the eclipse.
--------> I recommend to use VMware player and run Ubuntu to have a Linux like development environment, but if you have a slow machine it does not make sense. <---------- I have a 3GB RAM, still I am planning to try on Ubuntu. ---------> Yes. Once you create an android project in Eclipse, select "Run As... Android Application". This will ask you to create an AVD and will run an emulator with your app. Leave the emulator around, you don't need to close it every time to want to run your app. <--------- Is there any way that I can view/edit the source code of the .apk ? Also, on Vista with the versions I mentioned above, I am not able to run multiple instances of the emulators thru eclipse. Is it a bug or some problem with my installations? While using cmd prompt, I even changed the tcp port using "-port" command. Though two emulators are running with different IDs, they dont communicate, as in I am not able to make/rcv calls b/w them. Will installing Ubuntu instead help? thanks again, Sha On Jun 19, 9:13 am, Raphael <r...@android.com> wrote: > On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 2:24 AM, Sha<sha.andr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi Folks, > > > I am new to android.
