TGC has made things pretty easy for us (IMO), that I dove right into making games without learning the basics.

Since the Android environment is new to me, I should have taken the time to learn to get a better understanding of the eclipse environment.
And spend some time making sure that the environment is setup properly.
And to learn the basics of NDK, SDK, ADT, etc., and getting an understanding of why those things are needed, or if you even need them.

If you were to ask me what the NDK is for, I should be able to answer that, right?

I have a tendency of getting things to work without learning proper terminology and practices.

I‘m using Visual Studio to code in, and for months, I was ignorantly copying the windows files into the android templates.

You would of thought I would have caught this blunder when I over wrote the android core.cpp file with the windows core.cpp file but nope. (Soooo, no wonder Cygwin complained the way that it did. And there I was blaming the template for being wrong.)

So with that said, I’m stopping development to spend some time going over learning the environments and going over some of the tutorials to better familiarize myself with this world called Android.

Question,
Does eclipse have the intellisense feature like Visual Studio has?

Hey ThrOtherJoJo,

I have no answer to your question, sorry.

Just wanted to agree with you. This 'back to start' is something holding me back to getting started with AGK. Got all the tools and stuff, but I keep on fiddling with DBP because that is an environment I'm familiar with. Need to kick myself in the butt I guess...

Good luck though!

Although you are strict with yourself, your thoughts are in the right direction.
Unfortunatelly (for me...lol) I am a snob with the Android platform
