1,879 PointsCreating the Project & ListActivity
Problem 1: I am getting the error: Failed to load properties file for project 'log'
I named my blogreader android project log.
After creating the project and adding List to "extends ListActivity" in the MainListActivity.java I can no longer launch a Virtual Device Manager or Run as Android Project. The virtual device doesn't pop up.
Problem 2: Once I add the Composite-->ListView I have trouble the Toggle Fill Width and Toggle Fill Height buttons in the Graphical Layout don't work for me. So item 7 on is cutt off at the bottom.
Problem 3: android:id="@android:id/list I am getting error: Your project contains errors, please fix.... The error lies in the src folder, MainListActivity.java. I have small x in line 13 and 19 activity_main_list and main_list is cannot be resolved or is not a field. There is no option to correct these errors
Anyone know how to get these fixed?

Treehouse TeacherLet's try to tackle these one at a time. :) First, you may have trouble launching your app from Eclipse if one of the XML layouts is currently open in your code editor. Try right-clicking on your project in the Package Explorer and then select Run As > Android Application.
After you try that, let us know if it works or not, and also post in your layout code for problem 2 and your Java code for problem 3. :)
