Android 2.1: can't run HelloWorld on the Emulator

Question

I'm new in Android. I'm starting with HelloWorld program, but I can't run it on the Emulator. I'm using newest version of Eclipse and Android SDK. I also set up development environment as follows instructions on http://developer.android.com/index.html.

Does anybody have advice for me?

Answer 1

Do you get any errors?

if this is your first app, its probably to do with setup and enviroment. Whats your system spec?

I found running the install process - you have to make sure you follow the installation process in a good sequence. Eclipse, android platform. Java enviroment then ADT plugin.

the AVD Manager updater should have taken a long time to get everything you need when you run it. If it failed - There is a little check box in the settings of the AVD manager that allows you to force download the HTTP -

But as long as you've got the lot, and your building a 2.1 file. Also, the first time you run the emulator, it'll sit quiet for a worrying amount of time. Just make tea, watch TV - google kayden kross and it'll be fine.

Make sure you create an emulator image (AVD) or you won't be able to run it.
