1.2.1 - android emulator launched, apps not running

I've seen similar threads but nothing completely like this. The emulator launches and I get the messages that it's building the app but nothing happens in the emulator.

Anyone seen this before?

  • I've installed also Android 2.1 SDK from AVD manager, so "android-7" folder is created. Now compiling APK 2nd time doesn't cause a problem and application launches, but not right after I unlock the screen on emulator.

  • Abit late for the original poster of the question, but i had this problem and hunting through the trace showed something like a "bad character : 0" in the name of the app. I had my application id as com.horseman.001, changing it to com.horseman.aaa meant it worked fine.

  • @Matt please set your log filter to Trace. After the second Launch app. Copy the entire log and paste it into a pastie then put the link in your response.

    With that trace I ran it, emulator opened, then I ran it again. That's what I got.

    Thanks!

  • Sorry,
    my firefox has posted multiples times my answer.
    It would be nice if a user would be able to remove some of his messages.

  • Hi.

    After 3 days of multiple tries, i couldn't get at least once to get KitchenSink running on phone (Xperia X10) or simulator.
    It crashes with force close.

    I'm using:
    windows vista,
    titanium 1.2.1,
    mobile sdk 1.3.0 (nightly mobilesdk-1.3.0-20100429203815-android-win32),
    android sdk updated today (everything installed),
    java jdk1.6.0_20

    I tried to run KS in emulator using API 1.6 and on my X10 running android 1.6

    This is the trace from my last try.
    Fresh KS extracted from the zip downloaded from git hub.

    EDIT:
    I see another 1.3.0 build: mobilesdk-1.3.0-20100429210215-android-win32
    Still not working, same error, trace here:

  • Same issue….(Running Titanium 1.2.1 (dl'd 5/7 w/all updates), Win 7 x64, Android sdk: All from 1.5 thru 2.1 (and referencing api 4, aka 1.6 in path), Jdk: v6.20 for x64 (referenced correctly in path)

    Opens the emulator fine (all of them that I've tried), but no matter which SDK version I choose I cannot get the build to complete (and so never see an icon in the emulator….)

    Here's a link to my debug output: http://pastie.org/951070

    And to my trace output: http://pastie.org/951090

    My apologies if I've overlooked something obvious…we're trying to evaluate this product for enterprise usage and the documentation has been less than desirable so far…hopefully the forums are more helpful… ;)
    Really appreciate any feedback.

    Thanks all,

    -Brett

  • I have solved this problem by following this post: http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/3971/installingrunning-on-windows-7-x64
    1) Completely uninstall Titanium Developer using the Control Panel and remove C:Program Files (x86)Titanium Developer if it exists afterward.
    2) Remove %appdata%Titanium directory
    3) Re-download Titanium Developer and re-install.
    If you cannot delete the Titanium directories then you may have to end the "adb.exe" task. After reinstalling, also remember to add the directory containing javac to your PATH, not just JAVA_HOME .

  • Try navigating to "$PROJECT$/build/android" and delete the entire "bin" folder, then go to Titanium Developer and try re-launching the entire simulator/app.
