This is not even close to enough information for anyone to provide help. You need to be more detailed in your explanation of a problem.

For example :

[size=1]package com.NewApp;

import android.app.Activity;
import zephyr.android.HxMBT.*;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
	BluetoothAdapter adapter = null;
	BTClient _bt;
	ZephyrProtocol _protocol;
	NewConnectedListener _NConnListener;
	private final int HEART_RATE = 0x100;
	private final int INSTANT_SPEED = 0x101;

then gv me the error with:
BTClient cannot be resolved to a type
ZephyrProtocol cannot be resolved to a type

and many many so on.....so how to i solve the problem??

First, this is not the place for Android programming questions or questions about using ADT.
Second, have you imported this "zephyr" library into your project?

The Zephyr library will be a JAR whose name contains Zephyr. Depending
on how you organize your project, whether you use Maven, etc. will
determine how to get it into your project.

The simple, easy to understand way is to right-click your project in the
Package/Project Explorer view, choose Build Path, then click the Library
tab and choose External JARs. Go find it in your filesystem (I would
suggest dropping it into a subdirectory named lib under your project
until you learn better how to do stuff like this) and add it.

Come back here if you have trouble with the Eclipse (not ADT) details.
We'll tell you when you're asking an ADT question.

Best of luck.
