+ <section>
+ <p>Use this dialog if you just want a basic activity as your starting point (this basic activity consists of
+ little more than an empty onCreate() method; you can also have an empty onStart() method added by selecting it
+ from the list at the bottom of the dialog). If you would like the activity to be created based upon a sample,
+ select <uicontrol>Create New Activity Based On Template</uicontrol>. </p>
+ <simpletable>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry><uicontrol>Source folder</uicontrol></stentry>
+ <stentry>The folder into which the source code for the new activity is to be stored. By default this is the
+ current project's src folder.</stentry>
+ </strow>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry><uicontrol>Package</uicontrol></stentry>
+ <stentry>The package that is to contain the new activity. By default this is the current project's
+ package.</stentry>
+ </strow>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry><uicontrol>Name</uicontrol></stentry>
+ <stentry>The name to be used for the class that implements the activity. This should be a simple,
+ non-qualified name.</stentry>
+ </strow>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry><uicontrol>Label</uicontrol></stentry>
+ <stentry>(optional) The label for the activity. This label is displayed to the user, often along with the
+ activity's icon, when the activity needs to be identified to the user. Note that if you specify a label, the
+ New Activity wizard creates a string resource to hold this value. If the <uicontrol>Default</uicontrol>
+ option is selected, a label is not set for this activity (the Label field is not editable); the user sees
+ the application's label instead.</stentry>
+ </strow>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry><uicontrol>Superclass</uicontrol></stentry>
+ <stentry>The class from which the activity inherits. For activities, this is <codeph
+ >android.app.Activity</codeph>.</stentry>
+ </strow>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry><uicontrol>Permission</uicontrol></stentry>

+ select.</stentry>
+ </strow>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry><uicontrol>Action</uicontrol></stentry>
+ <stentry>(optional) The actions to be performed by an intent filter associated with this activity. Click
+ <uicontrol>Add</uicontrol> to select from the available actions. Note that you can select multiple intents
+ from the dialog that appears when you click <uicontrol>Add</uicontrol>. To select a range, select the first
+ item in the set and then hold down the Shift key while selecting the last item in the set. To select
+ multiple separate intents, select the first item and then hold down the Control key while selecting the
+ remaining items.</stentry>
+ </strow>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry><uicontrol>Category</uicontrol></stentry>
+ <stentry>(optional) The associated intent filter categories. Click <uicontrol>Add</uicontrol> to select from
+ the available categories.</stentry>
+ </strow>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry><uicontrol>Set as the main activity</uicontrol></stentry>
+ <stentry>Select this option if this new activity is to be the app's main activity. Doing so updates the
+ application's manifest file to specify that this is the activity that should be started when the application
+ is first launched.</stentry>
+ </strow>
+ <strow>
+ <stentry>Create an onStart() method</stentry>
+ <stentry>Select this option if you would like to have an empty onStart() method included in your activity.</stentry>
