[Q] How to build the stock MMS app??

---

Hello. I have the latest Android SDK and Eclipse w/ADT set up on my Ubuntu 10.10 box. I have tried many examples and wrote my own practice apps. Everything so far has worked well!

My goal is to modify the stock MMS app so that I can modify the Delete functionality to require a pin or password. This will help keep my 11 and 13 year old children's texting clean and under control. (yes, I understand that they could install another MMS app, but thats something I can watch for too)

I'm a well seasoned programmer (c/c++/php/bash) and I'm just learning java/Android API. I thought this project would be a great place to start...

My problem is, I can't build the mms app at all. I have used git to download the approriate sources:

jondecker76@main-desktop:~/dev$ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/packages/apps/Mms.git

I then created a new workspace in Eclipse, and created a new Android project, where I imported from existing source. In the "problems" tab in Eclipse, I get:

1,464 errors, 112 warnings, 0 others (filter matched 200 of 1576 items)
Errors (100 of 1464 items)

...
etc

Basically tons of errors. Its almost like an include path isn't set properly somewhere.

Can anybody help me to get this to compile, then I can begin modifying and testing my changes!

thanks!

I think you'll need a good portion of the AOSP source tree to get all the base framework stuff needed to compile this.

Ok thanks, pulling down the AOSP tree now. I'll retry once its pulled down and report back here if I have more problems
