Generate an Android Project in Eclipse

Eclipse recently started generating a fragment by default when a new project or activity is created which causes a bunch of issues.

Generate Project

First, generate your projects with minimum SDK 14 to avoid a few issues with the compatibility library:

Project

Remove Fragment XML

Next, we want to copy the contents of res/layout/fragment_main.xml and move them into res/layout/activity_main.xml and then delete the fragment XML file:

Remove fragment xml

Remove Placeholder Fragment

Finally we want to edit the src/com.../MainActivity.java file to remove the if statement and all inner contents from the onCreate and remove the definition of the PlaceholderFragment:

Remove placeholder

That's It

Now we have a project with an activity which we can use that does not require the use of fragments.
