I am new to programming and I’m making a very simple blackjack game with only basic functions. When I run the program on the emulator it runs maybe for one hand, two, sometimes 5 or more but it always stops responding at some stage when i click on one of the three butons. There is a splash screen that runs for three seconds and the there is a thread comming from that activity that starts this menu activity. Could anyone maybe tell why this is happening? It usually happens when I clcik on one of the buttons even though there is no much comput

Use the debugger in eclipse to find out where it gets frozen.
Also the android emulator is very slow even with a fast PC.
