Question

When I uninstall an app using “adb uninstall , my logcat *:W starts to looks somewhat like this –

            W/ResourceType( 1269): Resources don't contain package for resource number 0x7f050000
            W/ResourceType( 1269): Resources don't contain package for resource number 0x7f020005

            E/AndroidRuntime( 6887): ERROR: thread attach failed

What does that error – “thread attach failed” mean?

try killing your adb and restart it once more…

// Restarting the emulator worked for me. I guess the backup manager did not allow my application to throw RuntimeException:s. So, restarting the emulator made it forget the bad behaviour of my app. Pretty smart feature, but not well documented.
