I followed all the instructions up to creating my first Android project. When I click “Finish”, I get the following error:

Project ‘HelloAndroid’ is missing required source folder: ‘gen’

I’m sure I’m missing something very simple and basic. Any ideas?

Thanks,

I’ve seen that error a time or two. Is it possible you have disabled automatic builds in Eclipse? Try turning on Project > Build automatically. If that doesn’t help try doing a Project > Clean. If that doesn’t work then try closing the project (Project > Close) and reopening it (Project > Open). If that doesn’t help then exit Eclipse and restart it and repeat the above steps.

Ed,

Yes, that is indeed what it was. I’m humming along, now.

Thanks,
