When i create a project with a name of my choice, and import it in eclipse, the name showing in eclipse is not the name i specified but the fully qualified name of the main activity with an '_' at the end.

ex:
Application name: scary
Package name: com.scary
Main activity name: Shit

the name of the project in eclipse will be : "com.scary.Shit_"

that's weird.

Two solutions : I did something wrong or something's not right. :)

Needed for the support of ViewPagerIndicator (See #4)

This is a good practice that a lot of newer Android developers may not know the value of. Having the option to create a custom Application class and have it registered in the manifest would be a very valuable extra step in setting up. This should have the option to select the name of the class as well as a sub-package of the main package.

Hello!

I've tried this project at home and it works as I expect after some tweaking, but when I tried same way at work I can't seem to get @AfterViews to work. Compiled project just starts on the emulator with style I specified in AndroidManifest.xml, but this is it. It doesn't even add hello message.

Add a test project using Robotium and having a basic script.

As requested in Twitter conversation, here's the code for AndroidQuery lib:

Git:
https://github.com/androidquery/androidquery

Jar:
http://code.google.com/p/android-query/downloads/list

AQuery has no external dependency and no /res resources.
Developers can just include the jar and get started.

The Eclipse Maven compiler plugin does not understand the scope "test", thus it will add org.hamcrest, which is included in org.junit, twice to the buildpath.

to fix this, add the exclusion as shown in the picture

to the pom.xml of the actionbarsherlock project

(i submit this as issue because i dont want to mess around in the project code)

Since the ADT 21.0.1, a NPE occured in PreCompilerBuilder if the project sources contained a no-extension file. In our case, it's due to the REMOVEME file.

We have just to renamed it to REMOVE.ME.

See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42051 for more information.

There is another workaround : updating the ADT version to the preview version.

If anyone else gets this message it's because it can't find the android annotations jar file.

You can fix this by going to Project Properties, selecting Java Compiler and expanding the Annotation Processing item. You can then remove and re-add the appropriate jar file under the Factory Path.

Once I did this, then the project built without any problems.

Actually AndroidKickstartR present each supported library/framework with a short sentence.

It would be nice to add a link to the associated documentation on each library/framework .

• http://androidannotations.org/
• http://actionbarsherlock.com/
• http://nineoldandroids.com/
• etc...

I would like to use a cloud IDE and it would be nice if andnroidkickstartr could push the created code to a github account.

Probably, the easiest would be to push to a repo under your account that I can then fork.

The approach that AndroidKickstartR (and the Eclipse ADT activity wizard templates) take of code-generating a complete working sample is cool... the first time that you use the templates.

However, the odds of a developer actually using any of that code is relatively low. Few apps will be loading a string-array resource and using that to populate the titles of a set of action bar tabs, for example. It's not that the code is wrong, but that it is unrelated to the actual objective of the developer, forcing the developer to track down all of this stuff and get rid of it. Admittedly, Lint is getting better about reporting unused resources, which helps clear this out.

That being said, having an option to get rid of the sample code, generating just a bare activity with the minimal set of required initialization, would be useful for those using AndroidKickstartR for the second and subsequent times, so they do not have to track down and rip out all the stuff they didn't need (or even really specifically ask for). This will help AndroidKickstartR be more useful for seasoned developers, in addition to newcomers to Android.

Just a thought...

The setContentView method isn't invoked in a project without AA.

I'm not sure whether it should be in project from the start or it can be created during build. If from the start, then you probably should add it.

It would be great to support the Android Assets Studio tool.

Like http://www.generateandroidcode.com/android/contentProvider

Hi, in the webpage http://androidkickstartr.com at step 2 the description for ACRA is the same as the description for Android Support v4. ACRA has nothing in common with Android Support library

To replace Android Annotations, provide Roboguice : http://code.google.com/p/roboguice/

When the generation starts, all kickstartr res folder content is copied and pasted into the generated project.

try {
        File androidResDir = fileHelper.getTargetAndroidResDir();
        File sourceResDir = fileHelper.getResDir();
        FileUtils.copyDirectory(sourceResDir, androidResDir);
        LOGGER.debug("res dir copied.");
    } catch (IOException e) {
        LOGGER.error("problem occurs during the resources copying", e);
        return null;
    }

However, it's not necessary to copy all files in some case.
For example, if ActionBarSherlock is not selected, the arrays.xml file will not be used.

I am currently using Proguard in almost all my projects and I thought it would be nice to have some Proguard configs possibly generated for Maven and No Maven projects.

If you think that something AndroidKickStartr should do, I could probably try to work on it. Let me know !

There is a common issue in Eclipse when importing Android code that sets the default JDK compiler level to 1.5 which causes errors to be reported on all @OverRide annotations in the source. Here is what I found by looking at the change in the file system when importing the ABS library and setting the JDK Compiler level through the menus/dialogs in Eclipse. I imagine this will be the same in the main Android app project as well, but I can further test if you think it would help.

• The ABS library doesn't import via the Android menu, so I used the General menu.
• When importing into Eclipse, a few files are created (below). The default compiler level is set in the creation of one of these files (more on that later)

.project
.classpath
.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs

• When I open the dialog (via right-click, Project, Java Compiler) and set the compiler compliance level from 1.5 to 1.6, only one of these file's content is updated

.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs

Was (when created by Eclipse):

eclipse.preferences.version=1
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.targetPlatform=1.5
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance=1.5
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.source=1.5

Is (after editing Java compiler compliance level):

eclipse.preferences.version=1
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.inlineJsrBytecode=enabled
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.targetPlatform=1.6
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.unusedLocal=preserve
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance=1.6
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.debug.lineNumber=generate
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.debug.localVariable=generate
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.debug.sourceFile=generate
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.assertIdentifier=error
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.enumIdentifier=error
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.source=1.6

Solution?

I copied the .settings folder that was created for the ABS library and pasted it into my app's project directory, and when I imported it via Android Existing Code for the first time, the correct compliance level was set and I had no errors.

My system:

Windows 7 x64

Eclipse SDK
Version: 4.2.0 (Juno)
Build id: I20120608-1400

Android tools (ADT plugin for Eclipse, and all the things it comes with)
Version: 20.0.0v201206242043-391819

Ivy is a powerful lean jar dependency manager.
It's supported by Eclipse and Intellij (via plugins).

Generating a project including Maven and ABS needs the importation of library dir at first.

http://ormlite.com/

For use with Android applications, you should download the ormlite-android-4.42.jar and ormlite-core-4.42.jar files.
ORMLite does not have any required external dependencies although there are some optional packages that you may want to use.
The code works with Java 5 or later.

Example Android usage http://ormlite.com/javadoc/ormlite-core/doc-files/ormlite_4.html#SEC40

Add Android Holo Colors Generator support.

As it suports ActionbarSherlock, it could also suupport generating some styles too.

Hello, as suggested on Twitter, https://twitter.com/AleksThomas/status/256502289169264640 I would be pleased to help for the integration of HoloEverywhere to your awesome project

https://github.com/ChristopheVersieux/HoloEverywhere

There are increasing demands on developing Android in Scala language. And Scaloid project also receives attention.

Please add Scala and Scaloid support.

An out-of-the-box template of a Scala project is here:

https://github.com/rohansingh/android-scala-test

And Scaloid can be enabled by just adding a dependency on that:

https://github.com/pocorall/scaloid/#quick-start

The 1.0.1 version now supports Jackson2.mapping converters.

The 2.7 version of AndroidAnnotations is available from today.

Testing using ABS.

1. The theme value is not set. So, Android SDK complains about it, saying it must use a Sherlock Theme.
2. Activity name is wrong in that file: my activity name has been added an undersore _
   Thanks a lot !

please update targetSDK to the current version 17. Not a big deal though - nice work!

I had entered invalid characters for the project name and scrolled down to download the project but nothing happened. First I thought something was broke because there was no error prompt. I accidently scrolled to the top to find out that there were some tiny error messages.

Happened on Chrome (latest version) with AdBlock disabled and a resolution of 1680x1050.

Proposal: Either make a dialog box which states that there are errors (and thus making the user think to check his inputs again) or add an automatic scroll to the input field which has incorrect data entered upon clicking on the download button.

When i press "Download" button i got this (URL: http://ws.androidkickstartr.com/):

HTTP Status 400 - HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

type Status report

message HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect (HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL).

After some tries I've got tarball, but with a lot of classes and with pretty class _ActionBarSherlockTrojanHorse

package android.support.v4.app;
// ...

/** I'm in ur package. Stealing ur variables. */
public abstract class _ActionBarSherlockTrojanHorse extends FragmentActivity implements OnCreatePanelMenuListener, OnPreparePanelListener, OnMenuItemSelectedListener {
    private static final boolean DEBUG = false;
    private static final String TAG = "_ActionBarSherlockTrojanHorse";

Can't remember this class in prev tarball.

Style.xml

error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light'

I got this error after importing ptoject.
Please give me some solution.

Thanks.

Add an option that let's you choose the sdk target version and the minimum sdk version supported by the project you want to generate.
