Re: [xmlvm-users] Problem with demo Android projects

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

you will have to explain that a little more in detail. The demos that 
are shipped with XMLVM are proper Android projects. They were created 
with the Android plugin for Eclipse (which is officially released by 
Google). In Eclipse, you can import xmlvm/demo/android/xokoban and you 
will see a proper Android project in your workspace. The location of the 
Android SDK is configured with the Eclipse plugin.

XMLVM needs to compile .class files (not .dex files) to do its thing. 
So, the build.xml for that can be independent of the Android SDK.

What exactly is the problem?
