Question

I am a newbie in android developing and want to launch my first android app with no success:(

• I have download the IntelliJ Idea 10.5 Community Edition, Android SDK 2.2 API Version 8, java-6-sun package.

• Have install these on my laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

• Have created the virtual device.

• Did following http://wiki.jetbrains.net/intellij/Developing_applications_for_Android_in_IntelliJ_IDEA
  .

But when I have started the application virtual device launched, the device’s operating system started, desktop appeared and nothing more. The Idea run window is showing the text

Waiting for device.

I don’t know how to fix it. Where I am wrong so the application doesn’t launch?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Make sure you can communicate with it by using adb from your command line.

adb devices

should show your virtual device there.

adb shell

should let you a shell on that device.

If all that works, then I don’t know (it works just fine for me)
