Eclipse Error Issues

I am having multiple errors with Eclipse. I will continue to go through the forums and figure this out on my own.

Don't give up on buzztouch. I was with buzztouch since almost their start up and though all the frustration and long drawn out learning I know have some very successful apps and now coding my own apps not even using buzztouch. They provide great building blocks to learn Android and plenty of step by step documentation to help you get everything sorted out. Not to mention a lot of us knowledgeable people in the forums are willing to help as much as possible. Have you checked any of the how-to guides https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Common_Android_Errors_and_Solutions_v1.0.pdf ..Also if you still need help message me and i will try to help. :) Cheers, SFNeNT

Sorry to hear your frustration! You're not alone though - many of us went through that same exact thing in the beginning. (side note, things will get MUCH easier in 2014 for people new to Buzztouch that want to quickly make something that just works). Don't give up. Once you get through this initial learning curve, things will really open up for you. If you're getting 50+ errors in Eclipse, there's about a 95% chance that your problem is with the Android SDK you're using. If you're working with the new 3.0 core, you should be setting your SDK to Android 3.0 (API 11) or higher. If you're working with the old project core, you should be setting your SDK to Google 2.2 (API 8). You can check this by right-clicking on the project folder in Eclipse and choosing properties. As for developing an app elsewhere, you likely won't be able to transfer it into Buzztouch. There's a couple main reasons for that. 1) Most of the other services out there don't give you source code - they lock you down to their system. 2) Most of the other services are simply mobile webpages wrapped into an app, rather than an actual app itself (probably why they don't want you getting the source code!) Theoretically, I suppose you could build a mobile webpage app at another site, keep it there, and load that webpage into a Buzztouch app using the Custom URL plugin. If you did that, I would suggest not using tabs on the other site, and using them via Buzztouch instead. Or, like I said, wait until the new year (not sure when exactly, but should be in the first quarter of 2014, and perhaps early on) and see what new things Buzztouch has in store for you. :)

Hey Guys, thanks for the encouraging words. Im not going anywhere. I know those programs are sucky.I apologize for my initial rant, I know thats not accepted here. But rather chance my forum opportunities vs really slamming my laptop into concrete. lol. Im a rebel kinda. ha. Anyways I will continue to learn. Rome wasnt built in a day and Apps are kinda like Rome, communities or programs BUILT that help people or keep people entertained. Point blank. I will stick with it and be sure to search and browse and learn. I dont want to have a microwave mentality, I know it will take some time to really get the knowledge needed to make a beautiful app. I'd love to one day have the tag line, Code is Art, til then. BLAH. LOL. Im getting close. I have already gotten the errors off and now figuring out why the emulator isnt working in eclipse. I am getting close though thanks to this forum and others online. I'll get it and when I do I cant wait to share it with everyone...

>why the emulator isnt working in eclipse. If you can, try to plug in your device. Eclipse should see it from the DDMS view anyways. Once you manage to install the app on the device, you can completely forgo the simulator/emulator and Eclipse, just keep changing the app from the control panel and refresh all the data in the app.

No need to apologize - we've all been there. Stay active, keep asking us questions and expressing your frustrations! Lord knows I've complained about Android enough. Lol

Wanted to give a quick update. I am nearly there. Have been able to have an error free environment. Now figuring out the kinks to the actual device and I'll be on my way. Thank you so much for all your encouragement!

@Dusko, Muah! Thanks! Got my app up and running on my device. Yes, this was alot easier to accomplish. Now I'm going to possibly open up a new post about a minor issue that separates me from a cached file vs online file. For some reason my javascript is coming our on two pages on my html screen. I don't want that. Will post a new post though. Thanks for all the help guys!! <3

Excellent, tell us when you publish your app so that we can have a look.
