Cloning Source Code (Windows)

Install any version of Git for Windows if not previously installed.
Run the Git Bash once installation is completed.
Navigate to a folder where you want to store the project files. I would choose either C:\ or C:\Users\_user_\Documents\. Note that in the Git Bash directories in C:\ must be accessed with forward slashes, for example cd /c/Users/_user_/Documents.
git clone https://github.com/wnayes/app-challenge-android.git
The repository should now be in a app-challenge-android folder.

Setting up Eclipse

Either install the Android SDK and Eclipse manually or grab the ADT Bundle.
Library files are not included in the repository, but need to be added to build. Copy the file <_sdk-folder_>/extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar into _repository_\app\libs\. The SDK folder is the location of the Android SDK downloaded previously.
Import the project into Eclipse. From File -> Import, select Existing Android Code into Workspace. The root folder is the app directory.
