I understand there are many threads like mine but I have been trying to get an Android Emulator to work on my Windows XP PC and have encountered nothing but brickwalls. Here is what I’ve done:
- I installed the latest JDK (Version 6 Revision 26) … no problem
- I unpacked “Eclipse” (Version 3.7 – Indigo) … no problem
- I downloaded and unzipped Android SDK … no problem
- I updated Android SDK with Android SDK Tools and two platforms (2.2 and 3.1) … no problem
- I installed the ADT plug-in for Eclipse … no problem
- I configured ADT to point to the Android SDK … no problems
- I created the “Hello World” app from the Android developers site … no problem
- I tried to run it…
And this is where I’ve been halted. I’ve tried:
- Creating an AVD with default settings in both 3.1 and 2.2 … no luck
- Changing device RAM size … no luck
- Starting the AVD from Android SDK … no luck
- Starting AVD from the command line … no luck
- Starting it with no animation … no luck
- Leaving it to start over night, twice, with different settings … no luck
I’ve been perusing websites for hours trying to find other solutions but having absolutely no luck?!?
It basically starts to load, it shows the “A N D R O I D _” animation and then moves to the one where the green “swoosh” moves across the logo and then it just sits there…for hours! If I try and run the “Hello World” app while it’s in this state it just fails (obviously.) I don’t know if I’m missing something obvious or what?!? I’m happy to uninstall everything and try again but not before I’ve exhausted reasonable measures to fix what I imagine to be an easy problem to solve?!?
Please try this process.
Please let me know if this process helped you.
