Eclipse features a built-in fail-safe development environment, if something goes wrong dur-
ing the building process, the Java Compiler will throw errors or exceptions and give us hints
for quick fixes. Once the build succeeds, you can move to the next step: test.
Testing on AVD
In Eclipse, click on the AVD icon in the tool bar to open a “Create new Android Virtual
Device (AVD)” dialog box. Fill in the dialog box with AVD Name, Device, Target, RAM,
SD Card Size, etc. as shown in figure 7.2, then press “OK” button.
