Android emulator crashes as soon as receiving input focus

Hi,
I'm trying to use Titanium Studio, build: 1.0.0.201106101247 + Android SDK to build the HelloWorld app on Dell Latitude E6410, XP sp3, 3GB RAM. I had it working (briefly) the other day, but since then I have been unable to get the emulator to stay up. here are the symptoms: create a new build of the HelloWorld app, run, allow the emulator initiatization to complete, then when I try to change the input focus (e.g. move the mouse pointer over the emulator window) the emulator terminates immediately. I don't get the chance to click on anything - as soon as the input focus is over the emulator window (using either touchpad, USB mouse - and even with the USB mouse removed, and cold reboot) the emulator crashes (terminates). Any clues, suggestions ? I will do a complete reinstall if I have to - but am not looking forward to it :-) I delete the AVD instance from the SDK manager before launching Studio, same problem. Thanks ! Mike

  • Have you already checked an Android Emulator forum? This doesn't sound like a problem with Ti, but maybe a problem with your Dell or Java on your PC. Maybe it's XP sp3 or a problem with your older build.

    Would you please try creating a default project and running it with Titanium SDK 1.5.X?

    Let me know the results.

    Cheers

    • Oops, sorry, it's the 1.4.X SDK you need in order to test this. You can get it from the continuous builds site.

      Please also read the info box under Titanium SDK Minimum Memory regarding issues with java heap memory.

      Cheers
