[android-beginners] Re: How to solve "G1/HTC Magic not recognized by ADB under Windows"
I suggest you look at the replies on the original thread. Some people had the same issue and indicated how they solved it (sorry I don't quite remember the exact solution). This might help: http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/search?group=android-beginners&q=regedit&qt_g=Search+this+group and http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/48e92dcc0a8a9a23/bbff8436bfd23ce0?lnk=gst&q=G1%2FHTC+Magic+not+recognized+by+ADB+under+Windows#bbff8436bfd23ce0 Instead of replying directly to me, please make sure to reply to the group. Someone else than me might be able to help you. Hope this helps, R/ On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 12:06 AM, siegelini wrote: > Thank you for this most useful post.

If you have the ADT 0.9.1 plugin for Eclipse, you can also create a new AVD using Window > AVD Manager.

Mostly, I suck at those topics. I can only write what I have talent for. :-( That being said, there is some basic coverage of gradients, custom views, and animations in the companion book, _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_, available presently via the Warescription, and to appear in print in ~7 weeks. Android could definitely use a book aimed at game development (2D/3D), though that'll have to be written by somebody other than me.

That helps. Now all I need to find out is why It is marking R.java with a red X but does not give any error message. Out of the blue, I deleted the R file as suggested by http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/upgrading.html#UpdateYourProjects. Immediately after it came back still being marked as before.
