I had someone build me an Android app ( a fairly simple Fiverr gig, I just want to use it to check how certain things look 'under the hood').
I'm a total noob with android, but I want it to run in the emulator.
I've got eclipse and have set up the emulator (using a mac btw)... now what do? I had a look around but couldn't find an existing guide. Please bear in mind I'm a total moron here - if there's a step-by-step guide somewhere then please do point me at it.
Apologies for being a total idiot, any help would be great - thanks!
This tutorial would help you http://www.mkyong.com/android/android-hello-world-example/
Btw, step by step is that,
You have already created your project.
Create a new AVD (Android Virtual Device) for the device setting you require. (http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/managing-avds.html)
In eclipse project explorer, as shown in the image http://developer.nokia.com/resources/library/nokia-x/doc/images/intro/eclipse_run_as_android_application.png
Right Click your project --> Run As --> Android Application
Or
Right Click your project --> Run As --> Run Configurations --> Select Device
With this you can view your app in the emulator.

I'm trying to follow the Android Developers site to build my first project up and going. I followed all of the instructions for creating a new project. The problem I'm running into is that I can't see the device preview. I have tried changing the device, cleaning and rebuilding, switching views, restarting Android Studio. Image here.
change your android theme and android version........
see the picture below to make changes..I hope its help u.
You need to enable the developer settings on the device, follow these steps:-
Step 1: Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About phone." Tap it.
Step2: Scroll down to the bottom again, where you see "Build number/ Android Version."
Step3: Tap it seven (7) times (Build number) & thereafter reconnect your device.
That's all :)
Good luck & hope this helps.
I need some help with the designer of the visual studio/xamarin on the android.
I'm kinda noob with development, but I was hoping to do some examples, but the designer isn't showing up...
The tutorial videos, from the Xamarin itself, only says it need to create a new project and play with the designer, but when I do that, the designer is empty and I can't do nothing...
Here some pictures from what I have and from what I see on videos:
There's a couple things I'm thinking here. It's quite possible that your installation of Xamarin didn't go according to plan. Check your detailed Visual Studio version information in "Help -> About -> Copy Detailed Info".
Additionally, you might also be running on an outdated version of the Android SDK or there might be an issue with your Java config. Ensure you've got the Android SDK installed and updated and that you're using a current version of the Java SDK.
I also see there's a white box showing up on your Designer screen. Does that ever populate with an error? Usually, that will show some info on what exactly is going wrong.
Lastly, you can also check your logs in the following directory for more hints as to what's going on:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Xamarin\Log
I hope this helps!
I am new to android application.

This is usual, there are some tricks to avoid this, see this Why emulator is very slow in Android Studio?, and i use BlueStack for debugging. it's better than anything.
Hello people of Stack Overflow!
I've been trying to create my first app for a while now using eclipse.
I understand how to create the layout in XML. I understand Java enough to do build simple java applications and work with packages and such.
I've been following this tutorial series and have come to a point where i need to test the app.

** sorry: not enough rep to make three links **
This is where the trouble is - testing. The emulator from AVD doesn't show my app's icon anywhere in the menu. I have also tried Genymotion, and the same issue occurs.
As far as I know, all of the paths and uri's are correct to link everything up, but it just won't
show.
The directory structure containing AVD Manager and SDK Manager are both located directly on the C drive.
My eclipse workspace is under my user's folder.
When I go to run it as an android application, the option doesn't appear sometimes, but once I clean the project, the button appears again.
Below are some screen-captures I took and uploaded to imgur. I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks for the attention! :)
I'm willing to try Android Studio as well, but eclipse I am accustomed to from school.
I don't know if it whatcmade the problem but you dont have any setContentView there.
Your app will not show any xmlfile or even a view.
Make sense that your app will not show anything but i dont think thatvit will cause it to disapear (if icunderstood correctly)
Try fix it and if it does not work please show me your androidManifest.xml file
After the first installation of the Eclipse/Android SDK/ADT package. When you run it for the 1st time, you get a welcome screen that offers a very basic set of tutorials. I forget exactly where they are, but I think it works you through some kind of a "Hello World" type program. I'm trying to introduce some friends of mine (programers with no Android exposure) to android programing and would like to know how I can re-set Eclipse to show that screen again.
- Any comments welcome.
If you have installed ADT bundle from android website, u'll have it in
Eclipse --> Help --> Android IDE
Click on Help --> Welcome in Eclipse.
