I’ve been trying to get started using Cocos2D-X, because I wanted to play around with the idea of making an app that is compatible with Android and iOS. I have been going through a tutorial (http://www.raywenderlich.com/11283/cocos2d-x-for-ios-and-android-getting-started), and it explains how to get the program running using eclipse, but I have followed the steps it details, and not got the same results.
When I run the program in eclipse, it will launch an AVD, which will go to the slide to unlock screen. When I unlock, I am presented with a black screen.
I will include the console log eclipse has produced a the bottom, as it may have said something which might relate as to why I can not get this program to work.
Finally, I will just say, I have not altered any code in the Android project, it is exactly as the Cocos2D-X scripts created it, which is why I am confused as to why it will not work.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you are able to help me.

If you are using the latest version of Cocos2d-x which utilizes OpenGL ES 2.0 it will not work under the emulator. The emulator does not support OpenGL ES 2.0. In addition using an emulator is not really useful while developing a game as the performance will be abysmal.
