I have followed all the instructions mentioned in the playN Getting Started 
Page . Installed m2e , maven WTP , Android ADT plugin.... 
But still any of the sample project under playN for android(eg - 
playn-showcase-android) is not appearing as a android project. So i can't 
deploy it on the emulator...

Can anyone please say why this is happening?....

Thanks in advance.....

I also have the same problems and no help in the Google forums ... I think this 
project was abandoned and forgotten to notify us ...
It has several errors that meeting following the guidelines of the page and 
Starter been looking on the net and many people have the same problem!

Couldn't you use the "mvn android:deploy" command instead ?

And AFAIK, I think it was said somewhere that PlayN apps doesn't run yet on the 
emulator... You need a real device in order to test your application.
Maybe it's fixed now, but last time I tried, the emulator didn't run PlayN apps 
correctly :-\

The Android emulator is *extremely* slow. It is not a viable way to test your 
Android games. Test them using the Java backend during development, and when 
you're ready to test them on an actual device, test them on an actual device.

It would be a waste of my or any other PlayN developer's time to get things 
working on the emulator.

Well, last time I ran a PlayN app on the emulator, it simply crashed... I read 
somewhere (maybe on the Google Group ?) that the emulator didn't run PlayN at 
all.

But, that's true the emulator is really slow whatever you try to do, so the 
best is to own a real device for testing purpose...

I can't run the samples on Android as well. "mvn android:deploy" doesn't 
work... see issue 122. It gives errors about dependencies which can't be 
resolved, because certrain resources can't be found.
