you should not have to download a template or anything else, it should be available as template already in android studio. Just open up android studio, create a new project, then as part of the creating process you should be able to choose the master detail template

This video is so out of date. This sucks that we have to do workarounds to get this to work.

no worries. its good you are using android studio. I would also suggest using genymotion if you arent already. I am currently going through the blog reader project myself and so far I have been able to follow along using android studio just fine.

I just wanted you to know what I did. Let me know if Ive made a mistake. I ran the app in my emulator and it worked Im just not sure if I will have any problems in the future

1.On the form factors screen, enable the Phone and Tablet option and set the minimum SDK setting to API 8: Android 2.2 (Froyo)

  1. When the activity configuration screen of the New Project dialog appears, select the Master/Detail Flow option as illustrated on the screen. I did not see a list I saw illustrations. 3.object kind and plural I put blogreader and blogreaders, when I put blogreaders the next item autopopulated to blogreaders. I just followed the rest of the video and it worked! I hope this helps others starting out. I will repost

yeah you may encounter minor differences like that throughout the project, most of the stuff is same though, but occasionally something is a bit different.
