Must specify SDK target

Question

I am really new to this. I follow the O'Reilly press Android book, a bit dated, I use Pulsar for mobile Java developers. Build id: 20090920-1017 I go to File, New Project, Android, Android Project. I enter "Hello World" for the project name. Then I get "SDK task must be specified." There is a check box, but it says "no goal specified."

How do I get this solution and how do I get to the command line?

Answer 1

You need to select one of the SDKs in the Create Target section.

If this is not indicated, cancel the dialog and go to the Window → Settings → Android menu, specify the location of the SDK ( android-sdk-windows in Windows) and click Apply .

If you still haven't specified any Target Names , you need to install the SDK first. Cancel the dialog and go to the Window → Android SDK and AVD Manager menu. Click Available Packages and select, for example. Platform SDK Android 2.0, API 5, version 1 , then click Install Selected .

Answer 2

Secondly, the answer is Yuku, but in my case I did not have a slash at the end of the directory.

This is for Eclipse, although it should be similar.

Window → Preference → Android

Then you will see SDK Location:

It should be something like:

/ Android / Android-SDK-linux_86 /

To file a claim, this is correct, click the "Apply" button, and you will see that the list of Android target names is displayed in the same dialog box.

Answer 3

If your target list is empty, play around with the Eclipse font size. I had to drop the font size in the dialog to 5pt / courier new to see any options there.
