Starting Android Development

| | Comments (0)

I decided earlier this week that it’s time to see how developing on Android feels like, and installed Eclipse and the ADT plugin. Setting up the development environment was pretty fast; took about 5 minutes.

Here is a screenshot of the Android Emulator running my HelloWorld app. android-emulator.jpg

The emulator takes a while to boot (the first time I ran it I thought it froze so I force quitted it). I’m running Leopard on my macbook pro and I every time I start the emulator I get this waring: “Warning once: This application, or a library it uses, is using NSQuickDrawView, which has been deprecated. Apps should cease use of QuickDraw and move to Quartz.” It doesn’t affect the emulator in anyway so there is nothing to worry about; just ignore it. This issue might be addressed in future versions.

Here’s some links:
