and import them into ProjectViewer.
Prerequisites:

Until these are installed, some or all of this plugin will not work.
Available actions:

existing Android platform targets provided by your Android development kit

Android project at the location you specify. The "Build target" is the
minimum Android platform target that your app will run on. The "activity" is
the main Android activity class in your project. A class with this name will
be created and your apk file will also have this name. After the project is
created, you will be asked if you want to add this project to ProjectViewer.
