In the first Create New Android Application dialog, shown in Figure 1 5- 4 on the left, name your
application and project EarthTime and your package absolute.beginners.earthtime. Set the three
SDK selection drop-down menus to the API Level 16 (Android 4.1) that the Neptune Pine smartwatch
uses. Click the Next button, and accept the default checkboxes in the Configure Project dialog. This
will create your launcher icon, a MainActivity Activity subclass, and the Project folder hierarchy in the
Eclipse IDE workspace (Package Explorer pane), also shown in Figure 1 5- 4 , this time on the right side
of the figure. Again, click the Next button to advance to the next dialog in the series.

Activity dialog, and select the Blank Activity option shown in the middle section of Figure 15-5.
Click the Next button to advance to the Blank Activity dialog, and accept the default settings shown
