Get package name Context-getPackageName Android example

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

Zipalign.exe path on Windows:
c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools\zipalign.exe

zipalign [-f] [-v] <alignment> infile.apk outfile.apk

// command line in Total Commander
zipalign.exe -f -v 4 infile.apk outfile.apk

When using Eclipse with the ADT plugin, the Export Wizard will automatically zipalign your .apk after it signs it with your private key.

Example source code for Android development. How set gray text to EditText when EditText is blank.
Hint text to display when the text is empty.
In layout/main.xml insert to EditText row Attribute Name android:hint="Some text"

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/myEdit" 
	android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:hint="Some text"
	android:singleLine="true"
</EditText>	

Programatically you can use method setHint:

// setHint(CharSequence hint) example
(EditText)findViewById(R.id.myEdit).setHint("My text");
// or int resId as method setHint(int resId) 
EditText myEdit = findViewById(R.id.myEdit);
myEdit.setHint(R.string.app_name);
