I am new to Android Development and am currently trying to develop my first application.
I started with the version available here: Tutorial
I am just setting up a complete Android development environment:
OS: Windows 7 x64, CPU: 3 GHZ AMD Phenom II X4, RAM: 8 GB.
IDE: Eclipse Development Environment for Java Developers (Version: Indigo Service Release 1)
I downloaded the SDK here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then I followed the instructions from the textbook.
However, my problem: when I run the application as an Android application, the emulator starts up, but then it gets stuck on the following screen:
Even after waiting more than 30 minutes or even 1 hour, it displays the same screen.
There was only one problem when installing the Java JDK: - A newer version was installed for the JRE. (Installed: "Java (TM) 7 Update 2 (64-bit)" However, I downloaded the latest sdk from oracle. I don’t know if the runtime and sdk should have the same version ...
In addition, I was yesterday when I was able to start the emulator, and as long as I started it, it worked quite well ... I could even debug the application ... However, if I try to start the device from Eclipse now, it crashed instantly . The same thing if I start it directly with AVD Manager ("From a snapshot" or "Wipe user data" does not matter ...). Therefore, I deleted the device and created a new one with the same parameters. Now, however, I am again stuck on the screen above.
I don’t know how the whole emulator works. In addition, there is a lot of information on the Internet about crashes, etc. (Many of them are for earlier releases of AVD, however I did not find anything that helped me.
It would be very helpful to know how the emulator works. And maybe get a hint on what I can do.
Thanks in advance...
