11,191 PointsBlog tutorial has broken eclipse
I've spent about 4 hours trying to fix this and am about to give up on the android track. I went through the crystal ball course with no issues but once I got to the blog and had to update everything went wrong. I downloaded the google bundle and have updated everything in the SDK and ADT itself but now nothing works right. I downloaded the project files and have them imported but whenever I try to run it on an emulator it just says that it has unfortunately stopped working. The emulator itself is weird too. It doesn't take me to a home screen but rather to this: http://puu.sh/9ZWgL/f46a158023.jpg I tried both 4.3 and 4.4 virtual devices and still get that.
When I try just making my own new MasterDetailList most of the files that are shown on the video are created either. I don't get BlogPostDetailActivity or BlogPostDetailFragment or BlogPostListActivity. It feels like eclipse is completely broken now. I've tried reinstalling everything twice

14,483 PointsHave you recently updated to latest ADT 23.0.0 . Then you are not alone this is a bug in the new ADT and many users are facing the issue. Google has still to come up with a fix for this. Except for create empty project all other selected project types do not generate any auto code.
As for the emulator I would suggest get started with Geny Motion. Its really simple to set up and has lesser lags as compared to the default emulator by android.
And yes its free! :)
Hope it helps.

11,191 PointsThe VD actually fixed itself somehow after I loaded eclipse up again and tried updating everything once more. Even though it didn't update anything that I am aware of..But I'll look into Geny Motion too.
As for ADT...since the projects are so faulty and do not work should I find a download to downgrade to ADT 22?
