Apps Problems with SDK configuration

hello all,
i am new to android development.
i have configured by eclipes IDE with android sdk.
but i am facing problem in that.
when ever i am creating a new app it is sowing a red ! mark ( ! in red colour)
and it is automatically creating an appcompactv_7 android project.
Kindly help...
 
The way I used to do this was to d/l a version of Eclipse that had the Android SDK integrated within this. By the sounds of what you have, it sounds like you already have this.
Where is this red ! showing? Are you creating project as File->New->Android Application Project?
This page Creating an Android Project | Android Developers explains things to a tee. Once created, you might want to look at Building and Running from Eclipse with ADT | Android Developers as this will cover building the project for running on your Android phone or emulator.

If this isn't helpful then please be more specific where you are encountering the red ! symbol.
Thanks.
 
Thank yo for replying sir,
its actually when i m creating the project then it appears in project explorer at that place this red ! mark appears on the name of the project.

the project also lacks bin files and some other folders that are necessary for the android project
 
If you expand the project you will see where the problem is originating.
Try "cleaning your project too (Project->Clean...) This might help.
Is the Android SDK running at a different level as the APK? Go to Help->Check For New Updates. Update any new stuff as "Root" though to prevent problems later on.
 
No it is not showing any problematic folders or file in the project i have tried cleaning the project but noo use.
i will check for the updates. And what more thing what about appcomV_7 projects that automatically gets created..?
& since the bin is missing no apk is there in the project whre to find them..?
 
Is the correct java library linked to eclipse? Also, there have been times where I've had ridiculous errors for no reason and a simple restart of eclipse fixes it
 
You shouldn't need to restart Eclipse, but I know what you mean (I had to in my early days). Next time try "cleaning" the project - this may sort out having to restarts! I do restart my eclipse sessions once in a while, once every four weeks or something (I hibernate in Ubuntu)!
