Properties of the button not changing!!

Hello,

Have a look here and see if anything helps you. I had this problem at first and I think this is the page that helped me fix it.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11579594/android-eclipse-editor-unable-to-edit-properties

If it doesn't help, I can't offer anything else I'm afraid, I am new to this.

Hope this may help,

Paul.

P.s I think Qasim Albaqali is asking the same question is the forum thread (Customizing Buttons and Labels), so keep an eye on that as well.

Thanks for replying Paul,,,but there are only two options on clicking the green bot in the graphical layout->automatically pick the best & api 19 which is currently selected...i'm currently running the adt version 22.3.0-887826...

Hello,

That button isn't the SDK manager. Hopefully this link should take you to imgur.com where I uploaded a picture of the icon for the SDK manager.

It's on the top right in my eclipse, but toolsbars can be moved or hidden. If you can't find it you can try googling something like "Opening SDK manager in Eclipse"

Paul.

Thanks man...i finally got it!! :)

No problem, I was stuck with this for a while myself. Glad to help :D

Hey guys, I made my own topic asking this same question and got redirected here. It seems like the fix is to lower the android version to API 18. Problem for me is that Eclipse gives me no other option but to use API 19. Here is what I am looking at: http://imgur.com/gW7XHCY

Hello Kevin,

Have you used the SDK manager to try and install another API version?

Paul, :)

Nope. Never realized I can. Doing it now. Thanks!

No problem, A lot of us had this problem. :)

As you can see I installed API 18 but for some reason device manager is not showing API 18

Hello,

Have you tired this button on the layout manager?

Good News. Updated ADT and it's finally giving me the ability to chose API 18.

Great. :)
