App not appearing in Android Emulator

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

Hi,

I successfully built an app on an iPhone. I wish now to build it on Android. I compiled with the target: Android SDK 2.2

The emulator took ages to load. After about a good 10 to 15 mins, and receiving a huge spool of emulator/Android information messages, the emulator launched. My app was not there.

Why is that?

Has anyone had this issue before?

THanks for any advice you can offer.

  • Hello,

    likely you don't have too much RAM. In those cases, I recommend to hit the build button again, without closing the emulator. That way, fastdev will kick in and you will be able to see your app running.

    What kind of computer are you using? The android emulator is pretty memory/cpu consuming.

    Best,

    Mauro

  • Hi Michael,

    I started to port to Android, and then I got a headache with Android so I stopped for bit. I will have to get back into it soon though.

    I did however pass the hurdle above. What I did was to choose Android 2.2. I had to wait for ages... i mean, AGES, until the simulator launched.

    I hate Android. I have no shares with Apple, but really, this must be the slowest environment I've ever compiled on. I think coding on iPhone is harder, but I prefer it as Apple obviously have built a better system.

    Good luck to you!

  • Thanks man, cause I have 2.2 selected and the console keeps throwing WARNINGs and ERRORs at me and Kitchen Sink won't even launch! It's true what your saying though, my app on the iPhone works perfectly, already launched... And now people want the Android version... oh hell.

  • I really hope Titanium manage to make porting to Android easier than what it is. Having said that, I don't think all the fault is on Titanium. It will be extremely hard to get a system that compiles on 2 platforms without ANY modifications at all. The fact of the matter is that Android is sluggish, and not as smooth as iOS.
