I created a new project from an example provided in the SDK, using:
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Helios Release Build id:
20100617-1415
The application builds and runs successfully but doesn’t show what it should be showing. This is what it is showing:
That’s because the emulator has not started completely… you have to wait 3 minutes or more. Keep in mind that the emulator is actually a virtual machine (qemu), so it will take 3 to 5 minutes depending on your system resources.
Once the emulator has started, it will show you more than your application: it will be a completely functional Android system.
