FAQ

Q1: Where is the code for chapter 13
A: Chapter 13 expands on code introduced in chapter 12. The code for chapter 13 is in the $root/12/FinchVideo

Q2: Eclipse is giving me errors on some of the @Override statements.
A: You'll need to tell Eclipse to use Java 1.6 compatibility. Look in Project > Properties > Java Compiler and check "Enable project specific settings" and the set the Compiler Compliance Level to 1.6

  https://github.com/bmeike/ProgrammingAndroidExamples.git

• You are trying to use the ssh URL ([email protected]:bmeike/ProgrammingAndroidExamples.git). That's going to require eclipse to find your private key.... Just use the URL above, instead.

Q4: How do I get the FinchVideo project to work?
