Android Tutorial & Lessons 3: Start learning XML to create custom layouts:

Check out the discussion forum for this lesson:
http://www.cornboyz.com/index.php?topic=6.msg6#msg6

What's up my peepz? (who says peepz anymore?) This lesson will get you up and running, and even an absolute beginner can do it. Please subscribe and thumbs up the video and you will be a pro in no time

In this lesson you will learn:
-Fix the error within the project
-clean project
-start the Android emulator
-Start learning XML to create layouts (learn the TextView coding)
-Learn about referencing strings in resources folder

This video is the 3 in a web series that I am creating to help you learn Android programming so you can create apps and eventually how to learn to write games for android applications. I want to explain things in a way that everyone can understand, even if you have no experience with Java, XML, C, OpenGL, or as a matter of fact, any other programming language.




If you do have a lot of experience with programming, these first videos will be really slow for you, but my goal is to get everyone sprinting, but for now we have learn to crawl.

at 1:15 when i do this my emulator wont come up. instead a box pops up saying, "No compatible targets were found. Do you wish to add a new Android Virtual Device?" my phone is plugged in as well. btw im using a nexus s by samsung off sprint

@jmj9595 Looks like you are creating a project that has a higher platform than your emulator. (for ex, when you created the project, you chose 3.0 and when you set up the emulator, you set the emulator to 2.2 or something). if you want to be able to run it on your phone, check out our site, mybringback(dot)com and go the blog section > Travis' android help > running on phone

Android AVD Error. No compatible targets were found. Do you wish to a add (sic) new Android Virtual Device?

This gave me an option to create an Android Virtual Device, so I filled in the settings (below), clicked Create AVD, selected the one I just created, then clicked Finish.
