Issue:
When using New Activity wizard, ADT 20 asked to install Android Support library version 8 even though version 9 has been installed.

Pressing "Install/Update" then ADT popup a window downloading Support library, when finished nothing happen.
Pressing "Check Again" does nothing.
If i restarting Eclipse again this problem.

Notice: If you install new version ADT or update via SDK Manager, open SDK Manager standalone and close Eclipse.
Workaround:
- Close Eclipse
- Open SDK Manager standalone (c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\SDK Manager.exe)
- Check the checkbox and uninstall Extras -> Android Support Library.
- Check again Extras -> Android Support Library and install it
- Restart Eclipse
- Try to create new project

Hide module - open dialog: File > Project Structure Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S


Hide module: in opened Dialog select module which will hidden and click on minus (left upper corner)



If module is hidden, you can permanetly delete module from disk. But if you want using module in future,  copy module into other folder (not into AndroidProjects folder and his subbfolders) and delete module permanetly from project and disc. Right mouse click on module and select from menu Delete.


If you want import the backup copy to project, use: File>New>Import mudule

Problemi is in e.getMessage() what can return null and Log.e (String tag, String msg) will throws an new exception !!!!
Problem and solution:

      	try {
      		int [] i = {1};
      		int z = i[5];
      	} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
      		String s = e.toString(); // s == java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
                // try to testing String s for null value
      		if(s != null)
      		 Log.e("bla", s);
      		else 
      		 Log.e("bla", "My error text 1");
      		
      		String s2 = e.getMessage(); // s2 == null !!!!!!!
                // you need to testing String s2 for null value , or you get FATAL EXCEPTION: main
                // and application will be crashed
       		String s2 = e.getMessage(); // s2 == null !!!!!!!
      		if(s2 != null)
      		 Log.e("bla2", e.getMessage());
      		else 
      		 Log.e("bla2", "My error text 2");
     		
                // this is OK
      		e.printStackTrace();
      	}

LogCat:

E/bla(855): java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

 E/bla2(855): My error text 2

Or you can using this code:

      	try {
      		int [] i = {1};
      		int z = i[5];
      	} catch (Exception e) {
      		
      		
      		StringBuilder sb = new  StringBuilder().append(e.getClass().getSimpleName()); 
          if  (e.getMessage() != null) { 
              sb.append("

"); 
              sb.append(e.getMessage()); 
          } 
          Log.e("err", sb.toString()); // E/err(336): ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

          // this code write out all message
          Log.e("myError", "methodName", e);
       }
// E/myError(371): methodName

Basic difference remember it!!!
if(TRUE && TRUE && TRUE) return TRUE otherwise FALSE

if(FALSE || FALSE || FALSE) return FALSE otherwise TRUE

Logical operator and &&
If all conditions/operands is TRUE return TRUE, otherwise return FALSE

if( true and true and true){ 
  // return true - do something
}
int a = 6;
if(a == 6 && a == 6 ) {
 // if TRUE
 // true && true return true, do something
}

if(a == 6 && a == 5){
  // nothing, not attended
}else{
  // true && false return false, or false && false return false 
  // do something
}

Logical operator or ||
The logical OR operator (||) returns the boolean value true if either or both operands is true and returns false otherwise.
If one operands is TRUE, condition is TRUE:

if(FALSE OR FALSE OR TRUE) return TRUE
if(FALSE OR TRUE OR FALSE) return TRUE
if(FALSE OR FALSE OR FALSE) return FALSE

int a = 6;
if(a==6 || a==5){ // TRUE || FALSE return TRUE
  //if return TRUE
  //one from operadns is TRUE return true,  do something
}

if(a==5 || a==4){ // FALSE || FALSE return FALSE
 // not attended
}else{
 //if return FALSE, do something
}
