How do we organize the imports in the IDE and why do we do that?

I also lost track of whether the videos just before this one were assuming eclipse or the new android IDE.

com/example/MainListActivity.java 
package com.example;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import android.util.Log;

public class MainListActivity extends ListActivity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);

        // Add Task 2 code here
    }
}

Hey again Michael! :)

To organise imports when using the Eclipse IDE, use the following Keyboard Shortcuts:

  • Windows - Ctrl+Shift+O
  • Mac - Cmd+Shift+O

Note that Eclipse does not offer automatic organisation of imports like Android Studio does (I know, it sucks...)

Hope it helps and, if you have any more questions, give me a shout! :)
