MySkylla Hello World app problems

Trying to create the simple "hello world" app for this newbie. Downloaded the prebuilt Buzztouch Source Code. Created the Android Project for the app. Getting 43 errors(Lint warning tab). The following are 3 of the errors; 1. Class referenced in the layout file, com.google.android.maps.MapView, was not found in the project or the libraries. 2. Unexpected namspace prefix "xmlns" found for tag RelativeLayout. 3. No orientation specified, and the default is horizontal. This is a common source of bugs when children are added dynamically. Can someone give me some assistance?

Hi @sephia, As far as I recall, the mySkylla stuff is pretty old. I'd shy away from it. Best way to get started...go into your control panel and piece together a few screens. Start with a Menu List as your home screen, add maybe a Custom HTML screen or something, and link it to your menu list. Then download the source and run. You'll have the latest code, and you'll be good to go! Give this document a read to help you get going: https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/buzztouch_For_Android-A_Users_Guide.pdf Let us know where you get stuck! Mark

Thanks, Mark. I'll go through the users guide and try something simple. I do have a project I would like to get started on. If I run into problems, which will happen, I'll come back here for help.

Mark or anyone else. Is there a plugin/tutorial for creating a information app? The following are examples of what I would like to create that are on Google Play Store but not necessarily on those subjects. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomson.druginfo&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=maa.ittech https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lost.weedlaws Thanks.
