Hi All,

I am trying to follow this video, however after I create my activties the following files are created with errors:

src>com.example.masterdetailexample:

BlogPostDetailActivity.java BlogPostDetailFragment.java BlogPostListActivity.java BlogPostListFragment.java

The steps I followed to create the android application project

Step 1: Minimum Required SDK: API 11: Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) Target SDK: API 16: Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) --- I have also tried to use API 19 here and I had the same results Compile With: API 17 Android 4.2 (Jelly Bea --- I have also tried to use API 19 here and I had the same results Theme: Holo Light with Dark Action Bar

Step 2: Select Master/Detail Flow from Create Activity screen

Step 3: Object Kind: BlogPost Object Kind Plural: BlogPosts

Other information: I am using the latest Eclipse build + SDK from the Google site (ADT version 23.02.1259578)

Could anyone help me understand how to fix this?

Thanks, Riley

Unless there has been an update I'm not aware of the adt bundle version 23 is riddled with bugs. Delete the adt bundle on your computer and install version 22.6 which can be found in the first android tutorial section (build a simple crystal ball app) on the tree house website.
