I recently had to reformat my computer, and I figure this would be a great start to show you how to setup the Android SDK in Eclipse.
Here goes..
- Download JDK 64bit.
- Download Eclipse 64bit – Go with Java for Developers
- Download Android SDK
- Extract eclipse to c:\eclipse
- Extract Android SDK c:\eclipse\android-sdk-windows
- Install JDK 64 bit
- Run Eclipse
- In Eclipse click Tools/Preferences and set SDK location
- Click OK/Apply both (didn’t work first time)
- Restart Eclipse
- Open Eclipse and click on Android Manager (tools) or android icon
- Download desired SDKs
- Install
- Restart Eclipse
- Go into device manager, update driver point to
- C:\eclipse\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver\android_winusb.inf
- Then install the device (you will get a warning about being unsigned)
This is the first post from my Android via a snazzy WordPress app. Pretty click app if I so say so. This will and has helped with keeping the 10+ blows updated.

We have just created a new user id on Twitter (androiddecals). This user ID is currently being used to test the API for our new apps.
Also.. new applications on the way. Here are 2 that are currently under development.
#1) A Weight training application
#2) a Trivia application
This is all I can say for now as the rest of the information classified, and not available to the android base….. yet.
Site is now live, and we are picking up a 5 more designs this week.
Had another development spurt. It was a rainy weekend here, so no outside stuff to take care of.
We have made some excellent progress on the apps, mostly during this process was a code rewrite. This will help in the short and long term, understanding the application, where it breaks, and allow for easily adding new sounds and features.
- Finally figured out how to run a process in the background
- Used log.d(“DEBUG”, “This is some string and process”) This works great, as using Toast or Dialog to send message was crashing the background thread.
- added a splash screen to HitchHikers.
Current Applications Version
- HitchHikers 1.7.1
- Animal Ringtones Full 1.1.1
- Annoying Ringtones 1.2.0
Todo.. in process of being updated for this weeks release
- Animal Ringtones Lite
- Classic Ringtones
- Classic Ringtones Lite
Future release
- RockPaper Scissors
- Tax Bash, based on above code.
Todo:
Add message to notify of when background save is completed.
Please note, QR Codes on the right for the applications are a bit out of date. Looking for an easy way to upload and distribute applications.
PS) spoiler, we are looking for mobile app developers. We are growing, and will soon need to outsource tasks. If you are interested, tweet me.
