I’m running on OSX Mountain Lion. I recently installed the latest version of Eclipse and the Android SDK from Eclipse. I updated the SDK through Eclipse as well, downloading everything in the Extras, Android 2.2 (API 8), Android 4.1.2 (API 16) and the Tools folder.
Finally I could run the emulator by creating a device but it was very slow (I have 250gb ssd hard drive + 16gb RAM), I couldn’t even run the application I had. I tried to modify some options of the emulator and now apparently I can’t run anything anymore. As soon as I try to run a program (Hello World) I get the following infamous Mac OSX error:
emulator-arm quit unexpectedly.
The console output for Eclipse is the following:
[2012-10-19 15:46:06 - test] Android Launch!
[2012-10-19 15:46:06 - test] adb is running normally.
[2012-10-19 15:46:06 - test] Performing com.example.test.MainActivity activity launch
[2012-10-19 15:46:06 - test] Automatic Target Mode: launching new emulator with compatible AVD 'test'
[2012-10-19 15:46:06 - test] Launching a new emulator with Virtual Device 'test'
I tried to reset things as they were before as well as creating a new emulator device. I tried to restart Eclipse and the machine itself but nothing. Apparently I can’t run any Android application anymore.
Does somebody has some idea? I read on some similar thread to use adb to restart the thing, but apparently I can’t get that running as well. By doing ./adb shell I get error: device not found. Do you have any idea about what can I do to solve the issue?
Thanks
Update your android sdk. In eclipse it should be an button next to the open avd manager button. or from command line try android update sdk –no-ui.
the following link should help scroll down to see how to update. https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/Installing+and+Updating+Android+SDK
