Where can the android samples be found?

Question

I checked google developers website for some exercises and examples in Android Development and I found this webpage: http://developer.android.com/tools/samples/index.html which says

When the download is complete, you can find the source code for all samples at this location: /samples/android-

I didn't find that location! What should I do? And if you know a better practicing way for a beginner to learn,let me know please!

Answer 1

You will need to make sure the SDK samples are installed:

This image is from the SDK Manager. Once you check off the samples for the APIs you want, and everything is installed, you can easily make an Eclipse project:

File -> New -> Other -> Android Sample Project

Or you can navigate directly to the path. You can see from my screenshot, that for me it is in Program Files\Android\android-sdk with the samples being in the samples subdirectory.

Answer 2

The latest (and most convenient way) to do it is:

1. open android studio
2. if a project is currently opened, close it (file -> close project)
3. on the following screen choose "Import an Android code sample".
