Android SDK

[hrocky]

Sorry, I didn't know where to post this, But whenever I run the 1.5 Android SDK, I just get a Black CMD box flash for about 1/12 of a second, then nothing. I can't read what it says but it says something...

*EDIT*

Forgot to say the Android 1.1 R1 Emulator works fine.

Are you creating an AVD before you try to run the 1.5 emulator?

 

[hrocky]

I just want to run the Emulator to check out android, since I haven't got my HTC Magic yet... I'm no developer

 

[RozzaC]

Developer or not...you still need to run an AVD in order for the emulator to work...

My Emulator for 1.1 Works without AVD? Is this new or what...

 

[RozzaC]

Yes it's new...it came with the 1.5 SDK...

You need to run a command to create one before you can actually run the emulator...

In the command prompt, navigate to your 1.5 SDK tools folder... <path>:\android_1.5\tools or similar

Then type in the command "android create avd"

That will tell you what parameters to put through...

Ok, I'll try it now, Thanks

Sorry what do I put for the -t parameter?

Nevermind, its working now

 

[hrocky]

Ok, I made my AVD, Got the IMG and all, What do I do with it :s

 

[RozzaC]

Well...leave it there...
and run the emulator...

It should work now...

 

[hrocky]

Nope, Still black box

 

[RozzaC]

Wait....what?

Run this command and check the AVD is still up..

android list avds

Sorry was away for a while...

I get:

Available Android Virtual Devices:
Name: AVD1
Path: C:\Documents and Settings\Account\.android\avd\AVD1.avd
Target: Android 1.5 (API level 3)
Skin: HVGA

Sorry..now I was away for a while...lol...a LONG while...

You may need to run the emulator through the command line as well...in order to specify which AVD to use (I normally just run through Eclipse)...

Try this command...

"emulator -avd AVD1"
