+ <stepresult>The New Android Project dialog appears with a number of default values filled in.</stepresult>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>Specify a name for your new project in <uicontrol>Project name</uicontrol>.</cmd>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>By default the New Android Project wizard will create a very basic Android project with a single activity
+ that will serve as a starting point. If you would prefer to start from one of the sample applications included
+ with the Android SDK, select <uicontrol>Create new project using sample</uicontrol> (on the following dialog
+ you will be asked to select the sample application). Or, if you have an existing Android project outside of
+ your workspace that you want to open, select <uicontrol>Create project from existing source</uicontrol> and
+ then specify the path to the existing project using the <uicontrol>Location</uicontrol> field (note that in
+ this case the project already exists so there is no need to specify a location in which the project is to be
+ created; skip the next step).</cmd>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>If you want your project stored in a subdirectory (named with the project name) within default location
+ (usually the workspace root) leave <uicontrol>Use default location</uicontrol> selected. Otherwise: </cmd>
+ <substeps>
+ <substep>
+ <cmd>Clear <uicontrol>Use default location</uicontrol>.</cmd>
+ </substep>
+ <substep>
+ <cmd>Use the <uicontrol>Location</uicontrol> field to specify the directory in which the project
+ subdirectory should be created.</cmd>
+ </substep>
+ </substeps>
+ <info>Some features, such as obfuscation, will not work if the project's path contains spaces or
+ parenthesis.</info>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>Verify that the SDK target is correct for your application.</cmd>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>Using the <uicontrol>Application name</uicontrol> field, supply the name that your application should be
+ labeled with in the Android home screen.</cmd>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>Verify the <uicontrol>Package name</uicontrol>, <uicontrol>Activity name</uicontrol>, and <uicontrol>Min
+ SDK version</uicontrol> fields. All are set to reasonable defaults by the new Android Project wizard, but
+ all can be changed if needed for your particular application.</cmd>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>If the new Android project will contain native (C/C++) code in addition to Java, select <uicontrol>Add
+ native support</uicontrol>. Note that you will not be able to select this option unless you have properly
+ installed the Android NDK and configured MOTODEV Studio for Android for native development.</cmd>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>If your Java classes should be obfuscated when you create a release version of your app, select <uicontrol
+ >Obfuscate Java classes</uicontrol>.</cmd>
+ </step>
+ <step>
+ <cmd>If you elected to create a new project based upon an SDK sample, click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>, select
+ the sample, and then click <uicontrol>Finish</uicontrol>. Otherwise, just click <uicontrol
+ >Finish</uicontrol>.</cmd>
