Comments on "Android Development Tutorial"

I am following the official tutorial:
https://developer.android.com/training/index.html

When I finished the 1st step: "Creating an Android Project"( https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.html), I noticed my "src" and "layout" folders are empty which are not supposed to be.
The solution is:
"Elclipse"--> "Help" -> "Install new software" and install (this will update it) from this url: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

Then re-run  "Creating an Android Project" above, everything becomes normal.

The 2nd problem you may see is the AVD creation. Sometimes, it is possible after you filled out all information needed, you found the "OK" button does not work. In such a case, you can go \adtx86_64-20131030\sdk\tools, and then found "monitor.bat" and run it. Then create AVD from there.
