I’m new to Android Development and am currently trying to develop my first application
I started with the tuturial available here: Tutorial
I just setup the complete environment for android development:
OS: Windows 7 x64, CPU: 3 GHZ AMD Phenom II X4, RAM: 8GB.
IDE: Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (Version: Indigo Service Release 1)
I downloaded the SDK from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then i followed the instructions from the tutorial.
However my problem is: When I run the application as an Android Application the emulator gets started, but then get stuck at the following screen:
Even after waiting for more than 30 minutes or even 1 hour it displays still the same screen.
There was only one “problem” while installing the Java JDK:
– For the JRE was already a newer version installed. (Installed: “Java(TM) 7 Update 2 (64-bit)” I however downloaded the latest sdk from the oracle site. I don’t know if the runtime und the sdk must have the same version…
In addition I was yesterday once I able to start the emulator and as long as I let it run it worked quite well… I could even debug the application… However, if I now tried to start the device from eclipse it crashed instantly. Same thing if I start it from de AVD Manager directly (“From Snapshot” or with “Wipe User Data” doesn’t matter…). So I deleted the device and created a new one with the same options. Now however I am again stuck at the screen above.
I have no idea of how the whole emulator works. In addition there is A LOT of information in the internet available about crashes and so on (lots of them for earlier releases of the AVD, however I havn’t found anything that helped my out.
It would be quite useful to know how the emulator usually works. And maybe getting a hint, what I could do to.
Thanks in advance…
I had a similar issue when updating from the JDK 6 to 7, and solved it by going back to the JDK 6. I still cannot use the JDK 7 for a mysterious reason.
