HelloAndroid does not show my TextView control

Hello stackOverflow readers,

I am hoping that this is a simple setup issue, but here it goes:

• Eclipse 3.6.0
• AVD 2.2 and 1.5 (created both and tried with both)
• XP Pro 2002 SP3

I followed the tutorial at site http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html but my custom TextView control never rendered.

I set a few breakpoints in the public class HelloAndroid extends Activity method and these breakpoints are never tripped. It is as if my android.process.acore is never run, based on the console output.

I am tempted to remove all and reinstall the packages, but I thought I would ask the web for a little guidance first.

This is the output in the console window:

[2010-08-24 12:05:08 - HelloAndroid2] Android Launch!

[2010-08-24 12:05:08 - HelloAndroid2] adb is running normally.

[2010-08-24 12:05:11 - HelloAndroid2] Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched...

< I then kill the Android simulator here >

[2010-08-24 12:05:34 - HelloAndroid2] emulator-5554 disconnected! Cancelling 'com.example.helloandroid2.HelloAndroid activity launch'!

Thanks in advance for helping me understand this issue.

What is displayed in the emulator screen ? Do you get to the "unlock" screen ? It seems you don't wait enough for the emulator to launch.

I have the same issue but waiting and using the on/off button does not work. (I have the unlock screen up.) Oddly, a different tutorial appears to work (Simple Flashlight).

Never mind - newbie issue I guess.

I got it to work by using (the Menu button, followed by) the Launcher icon, followed by choosing my app.
