Question

A serious problem working with android dev with eclipse (with the plugin and sdk installed)
when trying to run an application to the emulator – the progress bar shows:

Launching: Performing pre-launch check..

and stucks there- doesn’t continue even after a couple of hours.
I tried killing the adb process, running the emulator before the app and with ‘wipe user info’
but nothing helps – just stuck at this stage

I also tried the answers at this thread but didn’t help (mostly the same suggestion I already tried)

edit: sometimes(I’m not sure all the times) I’m getting this in the logs:

[2011-11-26 11:28:14 – hierarchyviewer]Unable to get view server
version from device emulator-5554 [2011-11-26 11:28:14 –
hierarchyviewer]Unable to get view server protocol version from device
emulator-5554 [2011-11-26 11:28:16 – hierarchyviewer]Unable to debug
device emulator-5554

any ideas?

Answer 1

solved this myself, seems to be a problem with updgrading the andoid sdk before the adt plugin or vice versa or what ever. anyway to solve had to:

• remove all the android plugin
• uninstall eclipse (if relevent and delete the whole folder)
• also delete the .metadata folder in the eclipse workspace and restart the computer(always a good suggestion/
• reinstall/update the android sdk
  = reinstall/unzip eclipse
• reinstall the ADT plugin
• have fun
