A Good Imagination and a Pile of Junk

UPDATE: Wanted to put this update here. It works fine. The emulator takes a DOG’S age to boot up. This is going to be a painful development process.

I’m trying to get a Hello Android application up and running, per the dev website. But something seems to be missing.

I have:
- JDK 6 17
- Eclipse 3.5
- The ADT installed. (Apparently fine. tough to tell.)
- the android sdk platforms installed (1.1-2.0.1)
- a default avd created

The source for the hello world example is pretty solidly “hello world” and I’ve double-checked it and done a straight copy-paste.

But when I run the example in eclipse, an emulator comes up but the application doesn’t appear to kick off.

Any thoughts on troubleshooting that? There aren’t any compile errors. The status messages in Eclipse all look pretty straightforward, it’s just not doing anything.

[2010-01-04 19:18:43 - HelloAndroid]Android Launch!

UPDATE: Ick, sorry. That dump of the messages is nasty, but if you drop it in emacs or something it’ll straighten out.
