HelloAndroid Program

Question

I'm new to android sdk. I started with the HelloAndroid program. I followed all specified instructions, but to my surprise, the emulator is not diplaying the "Hello Android" text.

Instead the emulator looks like the one shown above(You can see "LogCat" at the bottom of the image).

The Console shows msgs like,

---

[2010-10-28 20:14:59 - HelloAndroid] New emulator found: emulator-5554 [2010-10-28 20:14:59 - HelloAndroid] Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched...

After some 7 min, "request time failed" error message is thrown in "LogCat".

Can someone help, please? Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to "unlock" the emulator. Click and drag the green lock symbol to the right.

What your seeing is the screen that would appear if you had a physical android device and you pushed the power button to turn the screen on after the device had gone to sleep.

Answer 2

If you launching the emulator for the first time, you have to unlock it, just like how you unlock your android phone ( using the mouse instead ).
