Setting up ADT Eclipse

Question

I'm going crazy here trying to set up ADT Eclipse!!!!! (<- as evidenced by the overuse of exclamation marks)

All I want is to run the basic HelloWorld example without any LogCat errors, which works when I run it for the first time right after installing, but after I restart the PC, I get TONS of errors. The program will still run, but in more complicated projects, I don't know whether the app crashed because of me or because of a bad setup.

Here are the things I've tried:

• lots of different test configurations (AVDs with different settings as well as using my actual phone)
• removing API19 and using API18 instead
• [on my multi-user PC] using the environment variable ANDROID_SDK_HOME and user.home in the Preferences
• 32 and 64 bit versions, single and multi-user Windows 7 installations (I even did a fresh 32bit Win7 installation with a single user)...usually I have my home folder on D: but I also tried a user with the default settings
• crying in the corner and hoping the errors will go away by themselves or it's all just a bad dream

The end result is always the same, it might work the first time, but then I end up with lots of errors when running the project.

So I would really appreciate some help on this, either by pointing me to what I'm doing wrong or a step-by-step guide on how to set ADT up.

Here is the complete error log from the HelloWorld project (though it looks different when trying it on an actual phone, where I get lots of different errors):

Thank you in advance for your help! I'm really frustrated because I'm really looking forward to develop my own programs.

Answer 1

Those are not your errors, but errors of different system services. You can set a filter to the LogCat, so you'll only see errors from your application:

In Eclipse you just have to click on the little '+' symbol on the left side of the stack trace.

Of course, filtering the LogCat by application is also possible in IntelliJ/Android Studio:
