Android with IntelliJ IDEA 9
Quick setup guide
I started to play with Android recently and I need it to setup my environment. There are are plenty of tutorials for Eclipse like the one directly on Developer Android web site, but fewer for IntelliJ IDEA (for example one of the first when searching for IntelliJ + Android is link to plugin on code.google.com that is out-of-date plus IntelliJ took Andtoid plugin under their wings. The most recent that I was able to found is Developing Android Applications in Maia, but even this is almost year old).

The problem is that when I try to run compiled application there is no way to select single emulator as all of them are listed in single line instead of drop down menu.
IntelliJ IDEA missing file in the JAR
How to add files missing to the JAR
Last week I was helping somebody with mobile project targeting multimedia development that required mp3 file to be added to the final JAR. I spent good 30 min thinking and checking my older similar themed projects for any clues that would tell me why my packaged application was missing required mp3 files.
