1. Building and Releasing with Eclipse ADT

Downloading Documentation for Android SDK, API 17, revision 1
URL not found: C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/temp/docs-17_r01.zip (Access is denied)

This error can occur within the Android SDK Manager on Windows 7, if the SDK manager is installed to a protected folder like C:/Program Files (x86). In my case, the solution was to run the SDK manager as an Administrator.

Getting Started (attempt 2)

1. Download the SDK Tools for an Existing IDE from https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#ExistingIDE, install, but do not run the Android SDK manager
2. Install the Eclipse ADT Plugins from https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
3. Install packages using the Android SDK manager, as in https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html

Displaying a message box

new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this)
	.setTitle("Result")
	.setMessage("Hello world!")
	.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
		@Override
		public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
			// do nothing
		}
	})
	.show();

Based on StackOverflow answer. (You have to setPositiveButton for the OK button to appear.)
