Received Android src from dev, need to make tweaks, how do I load it on eclipse?

My dev used a Mac to develop the app and gave me a zip folder. I followed these instructions, but couldn't run the app:

How do you share an Android project?

The 2 folders in the zip folder are "_MACOSX" and "XXXX" <-name of the project

Does it have to do with the fact that I'm on a Windows machine?

I know that I've installed all the SDKs and did a simple "Hello World" app so it's not eclipse.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Here are the description to the error: Project 'XXXX' is missing required library: '\Users\newuser\android-sdk-mac_86\extras\android\support\v4\android-support-v4.jar'

Solution

  • Unzip to desktop. Zip the XXXX folder alone. Ignore the MACOS one. Then in Eclipse, try File > Import > Existing Projects into Workspace > click on zipped XXXX project folder from wherever you saved it.
