CHAPTER 3: An Introduction to the Android Application Development Platform 71- This dialog is much simpler and allows developers to select what the Eclipse
ADT will create for the new Android application project. You will select the
default settings for this dialog, which will create a custom launcher icon for
your application, which you will learn how to modify and upgrade a bit later,
and create an Activity class to hold your UI design and Java code. Finally,
a Create Project in Workspace option will create the Android project for
you in your Workspace folder, in the location that you specified when you
started Eclipse ADT earlier in the chapter. This location is greyed-out as it is
a combination of your workspace folder path and that the project name you
specified in the first dialog.
We won’t be using multiple libraries for this Android project (mark this project as a library option), nor
will we be using working sets, an advanced feature that allows development of multiple versions of
an app at the same exact time (too advanced for Absolute Beginners, I’m afraid; however, you can
research it on the developer site).
- Once you click on the Next button, you will progress to the third dialog in this
series, which is the Configure Launcher Icon dialog shown in Figure 3-5.
