Create or Select an Android Project

We will first create an Android project for the example app PickContacts:

1. Click on File > New > Project > Other > Android > Android Project from Existing Code.
2. Browse and select the Android apps $DROIDSAFE_SRC_HOME/android-apps/examples/PickContacts and click finish. The Android project should build in Eclipse without errors. If not, check the Android version of the app. Right click on the app in the project explorer and under the Android Tools context menu, try using Fix Project Properties.

Creating an Android project will cause this new project to be selected. When a project is selected for the first time in an Eclipse session, The Droidsafe plugin will load the Droidsafe analysis results so that they can be displayed in the project-wise Droidsafe-specific views:

• Security Spec Outline - displaying the security spec generated for the selected Android project
• Info Flow Summary - displaying the high level info flows for the selected Android project
• Indicator - displaying analysis results from various tools that indicate other areas of the selected Andorid project which should be examined
