+page.title=Getting Started with Honeycomb
@jd:body
+<p>First, you need to set up your development environment with the new SDK Tools and preview
+platform:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Unpack the SDK Tools r8 package you've received.
+ <p>If you have an existing Android SDK directory, simply replace your existing {@code
+tools/} directory with the one from the new package and add the {@code platform-tools/}
+directory along side it (at the root of the SDK directory).</p></li>
+ <li>Unpack the platform package ({@code android-Froyo}) and place it in your SDK's {@code
+platforms/} directory.</li>
+ <li>If you're using Eclipse, also update your Eclipse plugin using the provided archive file.
+ <ol>
+ <li>Select <strong>Help > Install new software</strong>.</li>
+ <li>Click <strong>Add</strong>.</li>
+ <li>Click <strong>Archive</strong>.</li>
+ <li>Locate and select the archive file. Click <strong>OK</strong>.
+ <p>Developer Tools now appear in the Available Software window and you can proceed
+to install the plugin.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ol>
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Beginning with SDK Tools r8 (the version you've received),
+the {@code adb} tool is now located in the {@code &lt;sdk&gt;/platform-tools/} directory (instead
+of in {@code &lt;sdk&gt;/tools/}). Be sure to update your {@code PATH} environment variable and any
+build/debugging scripts you have.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2 id="Setup">Set Up Your AVD and Application</h2>
+
+<p>With your SDK now set up, follow these steps to start developing an application for
+Honeycomb.</p>
+
+<ol>
+
+ <li>Create a new AVD targeted to "Android Froyo (Preview)" and with a custom skin resolution of
+1280 x 800.</li>
+
+ <li>Set the build target of your application to "Android Froyo (Preview)".</li>
+ <li>Set your manifest file's {@code &lt;uses-sdk&gt;} element to use {@code
+android:minSdkVersion="Froyo"}. For example:
+<pre>
+&lt;manifest&gt;
+ &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="Froyo" /&gt;
+ ...
+&lt;/manifest&gt;
+</pre>
+<p>"Froyo" is a provisional API Level for the Honeycomb release, used only during the preview
+period. When the APIs are
+finalized and the SDK is released publicly, you must update this with the appropriate API Level
+integer.</p>
+<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> By providing your {@code &lt;uses-sdk&gt;} element in the
+manifest file <em>before</em> the {@code &lt;application&gt;} element, your application will
+automatically apply the new Holographic theme.</p>
+</li>
+</ol>
