Thanksm Jacque.  LC 6.7 now accepts my Android SDK folder, so I can 
build with that version now (though oddly that bug report is from July, 
and the issue is still outstanding, several builds later).

But my one-card-no-code app still won't stay up.  With 6.7 at least the 
answer dialog I have coming from a preOpenStack handler shows, but the 
app itself is a black screen that quits as soon as it starts to render.

I've tried settings for Android 2.2, and per a note from you in the 
forums also tried 2.3.3, even tried changing accelleratedRendering to 
true and to false, and the compositor to "software", all to no avail.

I know it's possible because others are doing this every day; there must 
be one step I'm missing from the process....
