Creating a new Android project in Eclipse

In old version of Eclipse and Android SDK when I wanted develop an android app I used to open "New" and then "Android Project."

Now in the new version it changed to Android Application Project and this makes me confused. There are so many opened packages and folders. I would like to only create an android project, not android application project.

I am new and I would like it as simple as possible, something like this:

Old version of New Android Project menu

Not this (newer version of "New Android Project" menu:

New version of New Android Project menu

Ok, found a solution here:

http://droiddudes.com/2012/07/12/unable-to-create-android-project-in-eclipse-with-adt-20/

Delete Android Support Tools (version 9) from ADK.

Run App wizard again -- it will complete that it requires Version 8 -- confirm you wish to install. Version 9 gets (re)installed. Dialog completes.

Next time you run it there are no errors, and if you look in ADT manager it is in there (again.)

Update: Worked for "test" project then failed for my new real project which has SPACE in the name -- changed the PROJECT NAME (not the app name) to remove the space and the wizard completed correctly.

The new project wizard in ADT version 20 can indeed be a bit confusing. Suggestions:

  • In the first screen it is mostly the same other than a change to dropdown lists for the version selection.

  • If you don't want to see the second screen picking a launcher icon, uncheck "create custom launcher icon" on the first screen.

  • On the last screen, if you want to make a project that works on older versions without the compatibility libraries (ie, make an old style project) then uncheck "create activity".

  • If you do File - New - Project - Android you can get at the options for creating from a sample or existing code. If you pick an older target you can pick an older version of the samples.
