68 CHAPTER 3: An Introduction to the Android Application Development Platform
- The first dialog in the New Android Application Project series, seen in
Figure 3-3, allows you to define a name for your Android application
(seen in the app title bar and icon), and your project folder name. Type
“HelloUniverse” into the first field in the dialog, labeled Application Name.
When you do so, you will notice that Eclipse ADT “copy-types” this same
name into the second Project Name field below it.
Figure 3-3. Name your application and select minimum and target SDK
The Application Name will be used inside of your app, and will be both shown in the title bar for your
application, as well as under your application’s launch icon, on the Android OS desktop.
The Project Name is not used inside your application, but instead is the name that is used by Eclipse
for the top folder in its Android application project folder hierarchy. If you want to look ahead, you
can see this on the left side (at the top of the hierarchy) of Figure 3-8.
