Creating the Hello World Project

Most of the tutorials on this site can be built off of a simple "Hello World" type app.

By using some of the Wizards in the Android Developer Toolkit, the "Hello World" project can easily be created and turned into another app, by automatically creating an Activity, Layout, and updating the application manifest.

The official Android website has a great tutorial on getting the hello world project set up. You can find the tutorial here http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html
