Hi everyone. I'm a newbie. I was so proud of myself because I was able to create an app with buzztouch, download Eclipse Indigo, add the SDK and AVD Manager, download my app to Eclipse, and create an AVD emulator. YES! Now, the problem comes in...I run the AVD emulator, the emulator appears, then Android appears on the emulator screen. It seems to be loading (Android is moving on the screen). However, it never loads my app. I know that it can take a while for an app to appear in the emulator, but I left it for several hours and my app never appears. Please help???? Thanks...

OK. So it FINALLY loaded! YES! However, my app is not in the AVD Emulator. I looked throughout the emulator and can't seem to locate it. Please help...thanks.

Sometimes after the emulator starts up you have to Run the project again. Did you look for the available apps on the emulator?

Hi. Thanks so much for your input. I realized that I was launching the emulator versus running it. Of course, now I have a new problem. If I load my app using the Import function, I have the following error: Unable to resolve target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:4'. If I load my app using the New > Android Project, etc., function, I get several errors. Any idea about the Unable to resolve target 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:4' error? Thanks again, I appreciate your help.

Try right-click on project Android tools Build project properties

Thanks. I needed to download the Google API 4. That corrected the error. Now, yet another problem. I RUN the app, the emulator launches, but the app still does not appear.

Again, thanks so much!

The emulator is just not working so I connected my Droid via the USB port on my computer and it opened without a problem. Is there anything wrong with just using my Droid as an emulator versus the AVD Emulator? Thanks again for all of your help...

Nothing wrong, probably better. Eventually you'll need the VD to test different screen sizes.

Oh...duh! Bummer! I guess I need to fix the problem then. Any idea what the errors below mean? I RUN the app, the emulator launches, but the app still does not appear.

Thanks...

>>>>> Fred - I have added android:installLocation=”preferExternal”> into the manifest as per your post above but rather than showing in purple its still showing on black font - which to me suggests it does not like that. Do I need to save / compile manifest? If so how is this done Hi all well I have been having the exact same problem, all previous steps followed ok but failing at the very last hurdle i.e. Project is not showing on my AVD and I am seeing this ....

I assumed that the AVD was literally a virtual Mobile Device that shows on my PC to enable me to test code changes within my App. Can someone tell me if I am using a virtual device why I would want to allow my application to be installed on an external storage (e.g. the device’s SD card) and if the device is virtual why would it have an SD card????? I'm lost please help do Install a physical add an external Storage Device - is this virtual too or are we talking an

/ignore last line on my last post - is a paste error

http://wp.me/p1ZRa7-8I If the color of the line is black you didn't move the > properly. My post gives you three reasons to have a SD card in your virtual device. Number four: an app may be to large to run without install to sd card.
