Lesson 1: Setting up a new Android project

In this lesson, you create a new Android project through the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment.

 Set up a new Android project in Eclipse

  1. Copy the Android libraries to your Android CustDB sample directory.

    Open a command prompt, change to the %SQLANYSAMP12%\UltraLiteJ\Android\CustDB\ directory, and then run the following command: 

    setup.bat

    The UltraLiteJNI12.jar and libultralitej12.so files are copied into the Android\CustDB\libs and Android\CustDB\libs\armeabi directories.

  2. Run Eclipse.

    The default application path is C:\Eclipse\eclipse.exe.

  3. In the Workspace field, specify a working directory that is not your CustDB sample directory, and then click OK.

  4. Import the CustDB project into Eclipse.

    1. Click File » Import.

    2. Expand the General directory, and then click Existing Projects into Workspace. Click Next.

    3. In the Select Root Directory field, type %SQLANYSAMP12%\UltraLiteJ\Android\CustDB. Select Copy Projects Into Workspace, and then click Finish.

  5. Make sure that the appropriate Android SDK path is specified in Eclipse.

    Note

    You must install an Android SDK before specifying the path. For more information about tutorial prerequisites, see Tutorial: Building an Android application.
