Use New... to start a project from a ready-made template. Follow these steps:

  1. On the toolbar, click New.... A gallery of project templates opens, grouped by category.

  3. Templates are grouped by where they come from — the built-in ones under Core, and the rest under the extension that provides them, such as Bluetooth. Click a template to select it — the row highlights once selected; here, Ahsoka.CS.SimpleUI. Click Next to continue.

  4. The project setup screen appears, with the project name already filled in based on the template you chose. Click Choose Path... to open your computer's own file browser.

  5. Pick a folder and confirm. If you'd like the folder name to be different from the project name, turn off Match Names and type a custom folder name.

  7. If the template includes more than one platform, pick the one that matches your device from Selected Platform — here, Ahsoka.CS.SimpleUI.Select for an S70 device (Ahsoka.CS.SimpleUI.Pro targets a P100 instead). Then click Create to continue.

  8. Your files are copied into the folder you chose. If the template needs a newer SDK than what's currently installed, you'll be asked whether to update it — choose Yes to continue.

  9. If an SDK update was needed, its progress shows here — first adding any extensions the template needs, then the SDK itself. Ahsoka.CS.SimpleUI doesn't use any extensions.
