I’m following the Android App HelloAndroid tutorial on http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html and I seem to be doing well so far. I got the SDK downloaded and installed, emulator works… I am using Android 2.2
it works.. but I do not see the text string… This is my first android app so I am doing something wrong.
Yeah, getting Eclipse to talk to the Emulator can be a PITA. If you can debug on an actual device, don’t waste your time with the emulator.
You can look in Eclipse’s console window to see what’s up. Chances are it has installed the package, but it never got around to launching the application. Press the debug button again to see if it works, or just launch the app from the home screen manually. Unfortunately this won’t connect the debugger, but at least you can use it.
I’ve struggled with this a few times and can’t come up with anything more conclusive than “delete your emulator image and try again” or “restart Eclipse to see if it works this time”.
