when to download source code?

Do I need to finish the app before AI download source or can I just load an icon like in the YouTube videos. Then use the simulator to continue development on android ask for eclipse.

Either way, easier to download and make changes. That way you can see what you've doing. Here's some info that might answer a few questions. http://wp.me/p1ZRa7-w

I download the source after I've finished designing the main interface...meaning, all the tabs or main screens are in place. That way the bulk of the config file is local, and less has to be retrieved from buzztouch. Mark

Mark, that's an excellent point. Any difference if you have maps or any particular features? Fred

No difference for me...it's only the interface design that I worry about before I download. And then, when I'm about to compile to send to the store, I make sure my local BT_Config.txt file matches the one at buzztouch.com, so the reviewer won't be prompted for an update when they first open the app. Mark

Can you download the code and replace only selectedfiles, so as not having to remodify the manifest?

You could indeed! Just unzip the package and make whatever substitutions are necessary. But with 100's of files in the package, I find it easier to replace them all. Mark
