Hello Android Example

[James Hambrick]

I am having trouble getting the HelloAndriod example to work.

Here is the link to the example I am talking about

http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html

I have copied the code verbatium.

I have added the Andriod 3.2 virtual device.

And when I created the project I created an Andriod 2.2 project.

When I run the code it shows a blank screen. Any tips? Let me know and I can supply screen shots or more information.

I too have this kind of problem.

My workaround is to click "Home" button and wait for some time. Then the "Hello World" application is displayed.

Any ideas why I have to wait ~5 minutes before it displays on the screen?

The android emulator runs slowly.

Solutions:
1) Increase the memory of elcipse in the eclipse.ini file (something like:
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx1024m)

AND

2) Keep the emulator running after the first launch without closing it. Close it only when you are done for the day. This way, the emulator takes only seconds to update.
