Re: [android-beginners] Wanting to start and would like a good book. Suggestions?
I started out much like you -- I'm basically a LAMP guy with HTML and SQL experience, a smattering of XML and general scripting stuff. No real programming experience to speak of, but I do have a general understanding of basic programming concepts. Check out Hello, Android by Pragmatic Programmers. Excellent book.

I had the same issue under OS X 10.6. I uninstalled 64-bit Eclipse, downloaded/installed the 32-bit version of eclipse and have had no issues since. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

Re: [android-beginners] Getting ADT installed in Eclipse requires plug-in org.eclipse.jdt
Are you running the 64-bit or 32-bit version of Eclipse? When I was running the 64 bit build, I was unable to install the ADT. When I installed the 32-bit version I had no issues.
