android.processing.org says "at least" but my experience with Processing
0177 indicates that version 5 is required. The android tools give you the
option to list available APIs, maybe that call could be used to derive the
available versions of the Google Tools and use the latest one where possible?

Or you could just update the doc to state that 5 is required :)

Here's the error I got when I only had version 7 installed:

The following Android Virtual Devices could not be loaded:
Name: Processing-Eclair
Path: /Users/tom/.android/avd/Processing-Eclair.avd
Error: Unknown target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:5' in
/Users/tom/.android/avd/Processing-Eclair.ini

Here's the output of "android list target" now that I have v5 installed too:

ah, i've just removed the "at least" statement to avoid confusion.

checked 0182 from windows vista

removed API5 packages from my Android SDK, and got this error from run in android
mode:

BUILD FAILED
C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Local\Temp\android1199037519905186635.pde\build.xml:1
6: Unable to resolve target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:5'

I'm reinstalling *API5* packages to resume testing for other compile issues I
reported to email list

have you installed API v6? that's the current requirement.

re: have you installed API v6? that's the current requirement.

Yes I have api v6 -- the full list of packages is like this:

Android SDK Tools, revision 5
SDK Platform Android 2.0.1 API6, revision 1
Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API6 revision 1
SDK Platform Android 2.0 API5, revision 1 (Obsolete)
Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API5 revision 1 (Obsolete)
Usb Driver Package, revision 3

If I remove the two API5 packages, I get the "build failed" status...

FYI -- I just happen to be working on a near fresh Windows Vista install, with the OS
on C:, and both processing 0182 and the android sdk for windows in "D:\" JDK was
installed with the JDK windows installer, which puts it in "c:\program files".

k, found it and filed bug #1526 to deal with issue. (please use that for
follow-up)

the short term solution is that you just need to delete the
Processing-Eclair AVD manually.

scratch that, it was yet another new bug, and it's now fixed for 0183.
