Eclipse, AndEngine and HelloWorld!!!

[vcarl]

I've run into a problem with SpriteExample.java. I copied the code (changing the location of the image to load as a texture), and I can't get it to stop force-closing. I'm not sure if the problem is that the image can't be found, something is configured wrong, or something else, and I've run out of ideas on how to troubleshoot. I used Eclipse's debugger to go line-by-line, commented out lines to attempt to isolate the problem, and tried outputting text at certain points to establish a point of failure, but I'm totally new to Android programming and haven't had any luck. Any help would be much appreciated!

EDIT: Scratch that, I found the problem. Was a problem with the location.

the @override issue is because you have your java compliance level set to 1.5, go project->properties->java compiler and set the compliance level to 1.6, clean the project and the errors should go away.

Thanks a lot man!

Hi.

First of all, thank you for putting together these awesome tutorials. I just got my first droid yesterday, and I'm already rendering in OGL (took me way longer to get my first app up on win32 oh so many years ago.) This has been amazing help.

I have a question concerning the sprite remove example...and I think it boils down to me being a C++ dev more than a Java dev and not fully understanding variable scope. I am able to debug through the code below on touch event, and everything is fine until it attempts to remove the sprite. Once I get to the run() function, pScene is out of scope, nulled in the debugger, and the line does nothing. Any idea how I would be able to make this line functional?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide!

7.                  * engineOptions.getTouchOptions().setRunOnUpdateThread(true);
8.                  * when creating the Engine in onLoadEngine(); */
9.                 this.runOnUpdateThread(new Runnable() {

11.                         public void run() {
12.                                 /* Now it is save to remove the entity! */
13.                                 pScene.detachChild(SpriteRemoveExample.this.mFaceToRemove);

Hey, I'm having this problem as well, but with no luck on fixing it... I've placed the appropriate image under assets > gfx, but that doesn't seem to be fixing it. I've noticed the example's gfx folder has a little orange square in the bottom right corner of the folder icon, but my sprite example folder doesn't...this have anything to do with it? I'm taking potshots now here... =/

Uhm... I have the AndEngine and AndEngine examples and all the extensions... But since they're no longer .jar files, how would i 'link' to them in the Hello World tutorial?
