error running a simple hello world app

[dougc]

hey all,
I am coming from a c# background to basic4android (grr on the vb not requiring a semi colon at the end ..... <grin> ) anyway, I wrote a very simple "hello world app" basically a label that displays "hello world" when I run it on the simulator it comes up and then I get

"An error has occurred in sub:
main_activity_create (java line:
208)
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
main.bal
Continuer?
YES NO <== buttons

I used the first tutorial as an example for my real app but it too gave that error so I decided to make a real simple one to see if it was something with my configuration/setup.

I am running windows 7 (64 bit) and I noticed the warning about the sdk not liking 64 bit java, so I also installed the non 64 bit version and modified my path to point to that version of javac with no luck.

any ideas what may be wrong and how I can correct?

thanks

dougc

1. You should run your code in Debug mode. It will give you a more exact error message.
2. You are trying to load a layout file. Probably with: Activity.LoadLayout("main"). However you didn't create such a layout file. You should add it with the visual designer.

wow I officially feel like an idiot, sometimes the obvious is so obvious you miss it. Thank you very much and sorry for the silly question

at least I verified one thing, the forum is indeed very helpful (which I read before buying the software) even when answering silly questions that I should of known ......

thanks again
