When testing Android layouts, I'm constantly building for three different emulators from Eclipse (with ADT), so I have to run three times and then select each one. Is there any configuration or plugin that allows me to press Run once and the application is started in all three?

I'm working with Eclipse and writing an Android application. I've noticed that the load times to the Android emulator can vary significantly. Recently, I found that manually going back to the main menu of the emulator helps my application load much faster.Is there a quicker way (read: automatic way) to exit out of my application rather than hitting the Back button multiple times until I get to the main app menu? Secondly, is there something I am doing wrong that factors into the longer load time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed the whole shebang in order to develop android apps in Eclipse (I'm running 64-bit gentoo). Everything seems to go fine, and I created the dev group's hello-world example:
package com.nfshost.flyingmonkey.android;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override.................................
at the moment I am thinking about a new app and need some information to decide whether to develop on Android or an alternative OS. I am particularly interested in "time to first screen", "boot-up time", "time to first Audio" and "app-start" (can be any from the android market or even one of the pre-installed ones) time? Does anyone know a source or perhaps measured those numbers?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to reload an Android application in the emulator without closing the emulator, saving any code changes, and running the emulator again? If I make even a simple change to the layout, it takes about 30 seconds by time I run it in Eclipse and Android "boots", and I can unlock the emulator to run the application. Is there any way to shorten this time when making changes, or is it something I just have to deal with?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Eclipse on Windows to develop Android application. So when I'm trying to run the app, the system outputs to console
CODE:............
starts the emulator, but doesn't upload the .apk and doesn't start the activity. So, app is not started anyway.
I found a "solution" here, but it's unclear and seems to not work. For example, I don't know, which "emulator processed" are meant to be killed. I found adb.exe only. And that's the main point: sometimes I'm lucky enough to kill all that they wanted and start the app. But it's undetermined.
I am trying to write an android application and my workflow is as follows:
Write some code
Click run as Android Application
Eclipse then starts the android emulator
Install the app on the emulator
Run it
It seems to me that there is no need for it to start an android emulator(3) each time and to kill it. It'd be nice if there was a way an android emulator always running and eclipse just installs/uninstalls the app instead of making me wait every time.
I am searching for a macro for Android. For example, some application will start at certain time, then click (or touch) the menu itself as I've previously saved in the macro. Similar app for Windows Mobile is "Vito Buttonmapper" I think. Does the application "Tasker" do the same thing that I described? Or is there any other application?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the most recent version of Android for linux (android-sdk_r05-linux_86.tgz). I was trying to use the the Android Ant task(s) for packaging, building, and deploying my code. I should mention that I'm running AMD64, but have the 32-bit libraries installed. The Android Ant tasks are all broken.
First, the start-emulator task never gets the emulator running. It does get past starting adb, but then just sits there.
Second, the SDK is missing the aapt binary in the tools directory. So, the example notepad sample application will not even package correctly.
I have all the dependencies configured for Android. I can run it from the command line just fine.I assume the Ant code is out of sync with the recent SDK updates. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? At this point, I'm considering writing my own Python scripts to interact with the Android SDK. Ugh.
Is it possible to configure android eclipse plugin that it does not start up whenever I launch eclipse? I don't have android perspective enable, and yet android plugin start itself up as part of eclipse launch (i can tell by ddms port is no available). I would like android plugin to start when I click android perspective.
View 2 Replies View RelatedA few weeks ago, I followed a tutorial to get Eclipse and the Android Development Kit up and running. I successfully built the test application and ran it on a virtual device.
Tonight I finally went back to do the next step in the tutorial, but when I went to start a new project there wasn't an option to start a new Android project. Even searching for it didn't produce anything. Window -> Preferences doesn't have an Android preferences dialog, either. The developer tools are still installed, though, according to Help -> Install New Software.
I'm using Eclipse Galileo 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. I just recently upgraded. I remember I had to install some additional packages to get Eclipse to run the Android stuff last time. I haven't uninstalled those, so I don't know what's causing the problem.
What's causing this problem, and what can I do to fix it?
I need to start the emulator from an ant script run the test cases and stop the emulator.Any pointers on how to acheive this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed the Android ADT with eclipse. When I tried to run eclipse, I got an error that it could not find Java. The first thing I did was uninstall and reinstall Java, getting me to the 7.17 update.... Then I managed to figure out where they now hide the path command, and got WIndows to include my Java directory in the path. That moved me forward. Now I am getting a "Failed to load the INI shared library "c:.....jvm.dll" message. On another forum they suggested changing eclipse.ini to include a -vm pathname. The path shown in the error message matches the path where this DLL file exists.
I have a Java app that stopped loading when I installed eclipse and the ADT. Now it just fails to load with no error message.
when ever I'm running little program that I write on the emulator I'm getting: "Hello android, program_name" for example: I'm writing a little program could udp_client and I'm getting: "Hello android, udp_client" can someone tell me if this is the way it should be?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Eclipse, I have set my project's target build to 2.0.1 (right click on project folder -> Properties -> Android). In my AVD manager I have a number of emulators - one for 1.5, one for 1.6 and one for 2.0.1. How do I tell Eclipse to run the project (built to 2.0.1) on the 1.5 emulator? The "Run configurations" menu gives me only the 2.0.1 emulator...

Is there a quick start mode for android emulator. It is a PIA to start the emulator many times since it is very slow. It will be great value to developer if there is a quick start mode which simply get the app loaded without any other unnecessary loadings.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have issue with running apps in emulator from Eclipse. I was using tutorials from http://developer.android.com: http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/hello-world.html http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html
Also, i tried running sample projects delivered with SDK. Whenever i run project, emulator loads but my project is not installed. And when emulator loads, nothing happens. I was searching on web a bit, and i figured that if i restart 'server' it continues to install my app:
android-sdk ools>adb kill-server - D:...android-sdk ools>adb start-server - * daemon not running. starting it now * - * daemon started successfully *
Log:

I set up Eclipse as directed on the android development site, and ran the emulator after building one of the sample apps. The emulator comes up and just displays some text and doesn't function after that. The program doesn't even seem to run. I am following the steps on the site exactly (or at least I think I am), but no matter what program I try to run on the Emulator it never seems to function (just displaying that same message).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was playing around with the Motorola MotoDev IDE, which is kind of a jazzier front-end to Eclipse, and it asks you on startup if you want the Android emulator to show up in an IDE window. I said yes. That makes the emulator show up in an Eclipse tab, like the Console, Outline, etc. After a while it became apparent that MotoDev wasn't sufficiently different than Eclipse to make it worth the install. So I got rid of it. This is on Mac OS X with Snow Leopard. Now when I start Eclipse and run any Android project, even Hello world, the Console shows the emulator installing and the APK installing, and the Intent starting. But no emulator window. I found a setting in Eclipse->Preferences->Android->Launch Settings that said -no-window for the emulator. MotoDev must have set that. That had to be it. I got rid of it and still no Emulator. So I got rid of Eclipse, the SDK, everything and did a full fresh install of everything. Still no emulator window. I can start the emulator with an AVD from the command line fine and I see it. But from Eclipse, nada.

When I send a location from the DDMS perspective using the emulator control tab. I have a standard listener:
onLocationChanged(Location location){...}
If I break on the first line of this, having sent the lat/lon pair of 53.5/-3.0 from the DDMS tab, then the mLatitude/mLongitude in the location argument have changed to 53.508833/-3.005000 (6 dec places only shown).
The Android SDK is 2.2 in both and the target is Google APIs level 7. Does anybody else experience this or could offer a possible explanation? (It amounts to quite a big error in terms of metres on the map.)
How to run the emulator within eclipse without using ADT. All I want to do is run the emulator with -partition-size option of the emulator and you cant do this by default. Im sure there might be a tricky way of doing this but googling doesn't give me any clues. does any one know ? I also thought about running the emulator as part of a script and call the script within eclipse.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently started learning Android, and have set up the development environment. I've created a HelloWorld like application. Basically I did nothing then create a project, and change the default display string. When I try to run the application on the emulator, it does not install the application on the Emulator.This is my Eclipse Console output:
[2010-09-16 12:06:01 - DroidTest] Android Launch! [2010-09-16 12:06:01 - DroidTest] adb is running normally.

Launching new emulator. [2010-09-16 12:06:01 - DroidTest] Launching a new emulator with Virtual Device 'VanillaAVD'
Ironically, doing the exact same thing on a other computer, does result in the application being installed and runned successfully.I've tried many things to fix this problem: - Fresh Eclipse install - Android SDK re-install - Project recreation - AVD re-creation - Changed Eclipse workspace - the kill-sever command line command.Getting quite desperate here, after having tried for two days, so hope someone has a clear solution for this.
