"HelloAndroid" - First Android Project
This section provides a tutorial example on how to create the first Android project, HelloAndroid, using the 'android' command. Java source file and resource files are automatically created.
Now let's try to create a new Android application project called: HelloAndroid. I want the project home folder to be \herong\HelloAndroid and source code package to be com.herongyang.
Go to a command window and run the following commands to create the project, HelloAndroid:
C:\>cd \herong C:\herong>\local\android-sdk-windows\tools\android create project \ --package com.herongyang --activity HelloAndroid \ --target android-22 --path .\HelloAndroid Created project directory: C:\herong\HelloAndroid Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\src\com\herongyang Added file C:\herong\HelloAndroid\src\com\herongyang\HelloAndroid.java Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\res Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\bin Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\libs Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\res\values Added file C:\herong\HelloAndroid\res\values\strings.xml Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\res\layout Added file C:\herong\HelloAndroid\res\layout\main.xml Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\res\drawable-xhdpi Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\res\drawable-hdpi Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\res\drawable-mdpi Created directory C:\herong\HelloAndroid\res\drawable-ldpi Added file C:\herong\HelloAndroid\AndroidManifest.xml Added file C:\herong\HelloAndroid\build.xml Added file C:\herong\HelloAndroid\proguard-project.txt
The output from the command tells me that:
Remember that the "--target 2" identifies the "Android 5.1.1 Platform" in my Android SDK environment
