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.

I am new in developing apps for Android with Java Eclipse.
I get a simple problem: after following the procedure explained here:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_hello_world_example.htm
I tried to push the "Finish" button to create my first app, but it doesn't work: the wizard remains open and nothing happens.
Also, I have several problems in the Demo apps, errors like:
'<>' source operator is not allowed for source level
and many more.
I guess I created problems with the configurations.
Thanks if you can help me to create my first app for Android and to load
the demos.
It is really had to tell what is the problem, but as Abdullah advised to use android studio because it is well designed to develop android applications. and most of the company's now days use android studio as there IDE preference, but still its developer's choice. Eclipse ADT plugin is buggy
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Additionally, you might also be running on an outdated version of the Android SDK or there might be an issue with your Java config.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 brend new to android application and eclipse.
I've tried to create my first android app like "hello world" and make few simple steps to create a project with one activity, but Eclipse stuck on the last step.
Here the sample:

What I do wrong?
I'm using window XP.
That's what you did wrong. You are now using an O.S that even Microsoft do not want. And also, as of now, Google has announced their official IDE for Android, ie Android Studio. It's late time that you switch to a better O.S and the Android studio.
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.
This is my first time writing Android app. When I downloaded the ADT bundle for the first time, everything went as planned according to the tutorial I followed. I was able to connect to my device and run my "hello world" app. Then, I closed Eclipse and later I came back to play around with Eclipse ide.
Now, I don't see any activity layout at all. I deleted my previous projects and created a new project hoping to see the activity layout or GUI for my device. I can't find it. I was planning on adding buttons or labels.
All I see is this message in the bottom:
This version of the rendering library is more recent than your version of ADT plug-in. Please update ADT plug-in
So, how do you enable or bring back the Activity layout.
Here is the screenshot:
You need to update your ADT Plugin in your Android SDK Manager to solve this problem.
These tools should be up to date
