Hello World Android

Then, do not forget to To go in Eclipse->Preferences->Run/Debug->Launching.
In the “Launch Operation” subsection, select “Always launch the previously launched application”:

    This caused so much pain, manually had to click "launch android application" every time... Too bad it took me 6 months to even google the problem ;( – Daniel Magnusson Apr 01 '10 at 12:44

    @chiragsaga: No. For Mac, I would go with http://www.flyingmeat.com/flysketch/ or (better) http://skitch.com/. Other alternatives listed at: http://alternativeto.net/software/faststone-capture/?platform=mac – VonC Mar 07 '12 at 07:42
