This is a page that outlines how to load eclipse ADT projects that are associated with the Expert Android book. The zip files for all the chapters are available here. We have used Android 4.x to develop these projects. These projects should work with any compatible eclipse and JDK that is recommended by the Android 4.x tool set.
The general approach is as follows
Download the zip file for a chapter. Unzip the file into a staging directory. Make sure you have 4.0 or recent Android SDK Use Eclispe import command to import the project If there are errors, clean the project and rebuild it through eclipse ADT
if you have trouble you can reach us at davemac327@gmail.com or satya.komatineni@gmail.com
