maybe try deleting/uninstalling the old sdks first? mellery451 wrote: I'm refreshing my android SDKs as I had some very old versions on my Windows XP machine.

When I try to run SDK Setup.exe, it does nothing. No output, nothing. Anyone else had this problem?

btw, I have class called RootGameScreen in my workspace, namespace

In Java, this refers to the narrowest possible scope by default. So, in
your Intent constructor, this is the View.OnClickListener anonymous
inner class you are defining.
Change your code to:
Intent startGameIntent = new Intent(WelcomeScreen.this,
RootGameScreen.class);
and you may have better luck.
yes that was it. A newbie error. :) Thnx

[android-beginners] Re: Visual Studio Android Development
I have to ditto what RichardC says. Same experiences. Eclipse its very mature and robust. Yes, the UI is a little bit different. Wording/Terms different, so it will take a little time getting used to the differences. Matt RichardC wrote: BermudaLamb wrote: one of the largest communities of non-Java developers is probably the Visual Studio developers. As you say non-Java - but Andoid development is Java (with the option of excursions to native C/C++) so starting with Visual Studio is like taking a spade to drill a hole. More than templates would be needed a complete VS-plugin would be required (this would also rule out VS Express users). As a long time VS user (back to the days of 1.4 and 16bit Windows) I have had no trouble picking up Eclipse and the getting start instructions worked 1st time for me. However I might switch to Ant (XML based make equivalent) as I have not yet found a way to automate the checkout, build, release cycle in Eclipse for larger multi-project applications. -- RichardC On Oct 27, 2:51 pm, BermudaLamb thoml...@gmail.com wrote: I spend my entire day in Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. I want to develop Android applications as well. I have taken a look at Eclipse. I am Windows, not Mac, and not Linux. With that said ... Eclipse is not Visual Studio. They may both be IDEs but they are so different. I am looking for a step-by-step guide to gearing my Visual Studio environment for Android development. I know that thishttp://developer.android.com/guide/developing/other-ide.html talks about other IDEs. Lets be honest though, one of the largest communities of non-Java developers is probably the Visual Studio developers. Why not just recognize that and provide the necessary templates and steps to embrace this group, and kick the android market place into high gear. Anything is better that the i... world. Most of you may not remember, or even know the 70s and 80s. But Microsoft did it when they released Basic on the first PCs, and Borland did it again in the 80s when thye came out with the 29.95 Turbo Pascal. This is akin to the same thought ... Sure I can restructure my thinking, and learn yet another way to develop my applications, but in this day and age why should I. Since the the advent of the first GUI operating system I have been avidly waiting the developers panacea of point, click, drag and drop aplication development. We are not there yet, but everytime someone comes out with yet another IDE we seem to all sigh in relief while taking two steps backward in productivity. So, please, please, please ... provide a step by step visual guide (with templates) for Android Development in Visual Studio. Including, if necessary, steps for downloading and installing the various supporting stuff. I admit I'm spoiled by the VS development environment. I click on one EXE installation, answer a few simple questions, and in a few minutes my entire development environment is ready for me. I don't have to download this, then download that, and don't forget to get some of those, and a few of these. It is like the bad old days of Linux, when it would weeks to get the environment set up just right. However, don't breath on it because then Linux might think you installed something new and you would have to start all over again. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Android 2.0 SDK is here!
how does this apply if my phone is currently 1.5 and I wanted my app to work on it? Do I stick to 1.5? Matt Xavier Ducrohet wrote: Hello everyone! We've just announced the Android 2.0 SDK http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/10/announcing-android-20-support-in-sdk.html If you already have the 1.6 SDK, note that you can simply use the SDK Manager to add Android 2.0 to your SDK. Make sure you also get the new SDK Tools (revision 3), as the SDK Manager in revision 2 (the one that shipped with 1.6) doesn't enforce dependencies between platforms and Tools (fixed in rev 3) For more information about using the SDK Manager, see: http://developer.android.com/sdk/adding-components.html Have fun!

So that does not put my button at the bottom of the screen. Is that because I am using a LinearLayout? ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
