Problems with Android and Eclipse Functionality -
i coming xcode , ios development android. downloaded sdk right here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. seems unstable , things don't work, ie dragging textclock activity, need, throws null reference exception no guidance on wrong , layouts not staying lined when move or make seemingly trivial change. mind numbing , frustrating @ point, point feel set wrong or there issue it. know if might case or if there link describes gotchas eclipse , android , how through them without smashing mouse , keyboard first?
below screen of happens after dragging in textclock. opened details window.
this bad question , voted close it.
however, it's (if obvious) observation. yes, tooling sucks. main problem - each upgrade of each element (eclipse, adt, sdk) brings new problems , gotchas, cannot find out workarounds , on work. have learn live occasional surprises , constant feeling of bewilderment , instability.
the relatively news after couple of months develop (no pun intented) intuition how things work, helps, problems require mere project refresh (the magic f5 key!), can fixed restarting eclipse, cleaning project or turning logcat view on , off...
