For example, to create 20a project for the API Demos app from Eclipse, 21start a new Android Project, select "Create project from existing source", then select 22{@code ApiDemos} in the {@code samples/} directory. To create the API Demos project 23using the {@code android} tool, execute:</p> 24<pre> 25android update project -s -n API Demos -t <em><target_ID></em> -p <em><path-to-platform></em>/samples/ApiDemos/ 26</pre> 27 28<p>The pages below provide an overview of each sample application (available with most 29platforms) and allow you to view the source files in your browser. </p> 30 31<dl> 32 33 <dt><a href="ApiDemos/index.html">API Demos</a></dt> 34 <dd>A variety of small applications that demonstrate an extensive collection of 35 framework topics.</dd> 36 37 <dt><a href="Home/index.html">Home</a></dt> 38 <dd>An application for saving notes.
