I’m starting with the Pulsar package of Eclipse, for those of you who care. I’ll learn how to do create and compile the Java-based apps before I spend much time with OpenPlug’s Ellipis (a code generator that allows to write Flex Apps and convert them to Android or iPhone code to be compiled).

I’ll update this after I’ve gotten something working.

Update: Okay, I’ve gotten a simple Hello World to work on an emulator created by the one of the SDK tools. It took more time to install everything and add the Android SDK to my Path than it did to make the app.

For those of you who wish to try it on your own, I used this links: Developing In Eclipse, with ADT, Hello, World – both from the Google Android Developer Page.

Update: It works! Woo hoo! The USB driver that comes from Google is older than my phone so I used USBDeview to remove anthing associated with T-Mo or HTC and the installed PDANet on phone and pc. It took care of the right USB drivers 100%! Now I have a little app called ‘Hello World’ on my phone.

It’s not much, but it is a beginning!
