Question

Why am I having such a hard time getting into the swing of Android development? I\'ve been developing in various languages over the years and, for some reason, just can\'t s

Answer 1

Here is how I avoided the error, " Unable to resolve target 'android-16'", when adding v7.

First, I followed the instructions for adding support libraries with resources in eclipse. Following step 4, I clicked Finish. That's when I saw the error message, android-support-v7-appcompat] Unable to resolve target 'android-16'.

Second, I read this post. I also opened the download manager, but did not need anything updated. In order to make sure that I followed the steps exactly as correctly as I could, I deleted the android-support-v7-appcompat project and started over.

This second time I didn't check any different boxes, after all. But, I also got no errors at step 4. Who can say why?

Thanks, Dewald, you expressed in this question the same frustration I have. Is experience the only way out?
