I have not been able to find the ADT Eclipse plugin. Getting started with Android Application Development is a very frustrating experience so far.

Hi,
I really like the SAMS Teach Yourself books a lot, but it is sad to say your book has a fault I do not like. The images seems a little blurry. Other than that, the explanation is really good. I hope in your 3rd edition, your images are much clearer!

Thanks. :)
We don't control the printing at all. The publisher handles all of that. We try to just put indicative images, rather than ones that need to be studied in detail.

iam still in first hour many things is different than printed instructions , i use Eclipse version 3.8 for mac iOS x .
i did not know how can i browse files inside eclipse like string.xml ?
when i reopen a project, it did not work , they said there is no files to debug or like this
Is there a support group dedicated to this book? It seems that the more I read, the more questions I have. I feel a bit overwhelmed.
Found a bug in the book and accompanying source.
When using tabs/tabhost, scrollview should have:
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
for each of the scroll views in each of the tabs. In the book and source it's sent to match_parent. This appears to get ignored until you add a 3rd tab, at which point the bug manifests itself.
