Sample - Searchable Dictionary DOESN'T WORK

[juncus]

Hi, I'm at a screaming moment.

I'm both a Java and Android newbie but programming for 25yrs.

It took me hours to get Eclipse up and running having started with Basic 4 Android and finding it lacked most of the useful features.

So I downloaded the Searchable Dictionary example as I'm a database guy and had set up my sqlite db for the app I want to start with.

I open the "Sample - Searchable Dictionary" and find it has 19 errors in it. I fixed the first which was pretty fundamental - an import statement missing "import android.R;" on the next compile I find 19 errors. The first on the same line as the previous but one element on;
InputStream inputStream = resources.openRawResource(R.raw.definitions);

So now I scream. How is one supposed to get started if the so called samples are of no fit purpose?

Does anyone have samples or know where to find them, that do work as the official site doesn't seem to know a bit of working code.

Please help I know it sounds lame but if the person to give you directions is a liar it doesn't help at all.

Thanks
