To my knowledge, that isn't possible yet.

Sorry for being so late..

You must have done something wrong before that.
Did you download geandroid, android SDK and apache ant?

Now that game-editor.net is down, I uploaded my copy of geandroid to internet, and updated the link to link to that file instead of the file on game-editor.net.

It's pretty difficult to say just by that screen.
It seems to say something about the icons missing.

Try adding
a 36x36 png file to geandoid -> bin -> res -> drawable-ldpi
a 48x48 png file to geandoid -> bin -> res -> drawable-mdpi
a 72x72 png file to geandoid -> bin -> res -> drawable-hdpi

And do the same in the folders found from geandroid -> res.

Tell me if that doesn't work.

I have exactly the same problem as above, and tried many different possibilities, without any luck.
It says the @drawable\icon is missing.
Even adding the 3 PNG files manually as mentioned above doesn't work.
Setup,bat is definitely correct, installed Ant, and the Java sdk and android sdk were already installed.
I also tried exporting to different formats, and in-game settings, and manually altering the androidmanifest file.

Any ideas?

It works now.
I don't know how i managed, but it required ALOT of files to be manually altered.

Should I download Android SDK with ADT? And I hope it doesn't need to download anything from online cuz I don't have a computer with Internet.

Thanks for answers.

Also... Does Android automatically scale? If I make a game at 480*800, and play it on a HD phone, will it scale larger and lose quality? And what happens if I play it on a lower resolution phone? Thanks.

Yes, you'll have to click "Download the SDK ADT Bundle for Windows", and yes, the SDK program will have to do some downloading in order for the application building to work.

The current version of geandroid is just a beta, and it doesn't do automatic scaling. This current version shouldn't be used for actually creating an application for being sold, because the port is unfinished and unoptimized and only able to build you a debug version of your game to test on your phone.
So no, it doesn't do automatic scaling.

It would require a lot of work to make Game Editor to build the application for you automatically, and most likely that is newer going to happen, since building it yourself isn't actually that complicated, especially won't be if the finished version of this ever gets done. But due to there being only one person working on Game Editor, the whole development of the Android port is on hold currently.
