My ultimate goal is to create a new lock screen for android so I thought that the best way to do that is to modify the source files that already implement the lock screens in android and particularly in android 4.2 or 4.3. I followed the instructions in http://source.android.com/source/building.html and i successfully downloaded and built android 4.3 in my computer. The next step is the modification of some java files. I want to do this with eclipse. I have eclipse 4.3.1 and I am trying to follow the instructions in http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html . The problem is that the instructions are for older version of eclipse and with the new version i cant follow the 5th step as shown below :
- If Eclipse asks you for a workspace location, choose the default.
- If you have a "Welcome" screen, close it to reveal the Java perspective.
- File > New > Java Project
- Pick a project name, "android" or anything you like.
- SELECT "CREATE PROJECT FROM EXISTING SOURCE", ENTER THE PATH TO YOUR ANDROID ROOT DIRECTORY, AND CLICK FINISH.
- Wait while it sets up the project. (You'll see a subtle progress meter in the lower right corner.)
How can I do this correctly in eclipse 4.3.1 ; If i follow the wright steps will I be able to import all android 4.3 in eclipse without showing any errors? Please help me.
