Hi all,

I recently upgraded to the latest SDK and ADT plugin. But i have not been yet able to load the emulator with any of my apps. It is stuck at the red flashing dot and after round 40 mins the home page is displayed with the message 'not responding'.

So was wondering whether this has any solns or should i wait for more time.

Thankx,
Nitin

Oh man, you've got time ^^ I would have freaked out waiting 40 minutes

My emulator also takes more time for startup since the last update(m3-rc37a), probably because the HVGA-Skin is set to default...
Perhaps try the QVGA for better performance...

If the emulator is taking a while to load for you the best thing to do is start the emulator from a terminal/cmdline and then say "reuse" when Eclipse asks if you want to reuse the existing emulator or not.

apologies for the ignorance. how does one start the emulator from the terminal, and how does one get eclipse to ask to reuse the existing emulator?

Hello mjpan,

Do the following:

Starting and Stopping the Emulator

To start the emulator, change to the tools/ folder of the SDK and enter emulator or ./emulator. This initializes the Android system and you will see the emulator window appear on your screen.

To stop the emulator, close the emulator window.

When you hit when there has been a emulator started not from within eclipse it detects that there already is an emulator-instance running (probably because the default port is used) and will ask you if you want to >reuse< it.

Merry Christmas ,

Hi PlusMinus,

Still bad news for me .. the emulator fails to start up. I read in another post to start the emaulator with -wipe-data. But still no use. I tries switching back to the old sdk but there too the same prob exists. The only thing i can think of is that the other day i had installed a few windows update ( those starting with KB.. names).

Not sure if that could be a prob.

Latest error message on the console is Warning: pm not found on device.

Any suggestions..

Thanx,
Nitin

Hi Nitinkcv,

Did you try deleting the whole userdata.img
The SDK installs nothing (just gets unpacked) except the files around userdata.img.

Btw: Had some Vista-Updates too, but no problems with me ...

I am having a similar issue. All of the sudden my Emulator is spitting out this warning preventing me from doing any type of debugging...

Code: Select all

emulator: warning: opening audio input failed


How do I get it running again so I can continue to debug my apps?
