android wont re run

package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

Hi,

I am getting problems again rerunning my android app.
I am using android 2.2 .

I cant run again my app without building workspace hanging around 27% complete.
I set run-config to automatic and checked with android platform.

public class And2_2btestActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Hello, Android 6");
setContentView(tv);
}
}

Didn't you write that it works in the previous question ?
So it worked and then stopped working?

jagguy

unfortunately yes this happened.

for_yan

so you installed two platforms - 4 0 3 and one older platform ?

jagguy

android 4.03 works fine and i can re run this but 2.2 isnt

for_yan

I instaled only one, so I'm not sure I understadn - if you installed two, how does it know which libraries to use? Can you specify it when you create project?

jagguy

ASKER

in the automatic option to re run a program you select one.

i thought i need to create a AVD for each platform.

if i want to code for android 2.2 then i need AVD for 2.2

for_yan

Yes, indeed, I see you can specify the target when you create project, so you have tow Android projects - one for 4.0.3 and one for 2.2.3 ?

for_yan

>if i want to code for android 2.2 then i need AVD for 2.2
taht is true, but I think it may be not enough

when you create project it also asks for the target - so you need to commit to the target from the beginning

if I wan to code for android 2.2 then do I need a AVD for just 2.2

Can I code for android 2.2 and use a AVD 4.03 .

I created a 2.2 project and it wont re run without closing eclipse and running the program once only

for_yan

Can I code for android 2.2 and use a AVD 4.03 .
Taht may be possible, but it is probably safer not to do it

In the opposite way it would probably be incorrect.

jagguy

ASKER

to code for android 2.2 what do I do because my project is unstable.

I have a AVD 2.2 so why isnt this stable like 4.03?

for_yan

with 4.0.3 does it work for you in both cases - when you close emulator - it cretaes emulator then and hwen you don't close it - it then just replaces the application ?
(it works so for me).

And in case of 2.2 - in both these cases it just hangs second time ?

jagguy

ASKER

yes 4.03 works fine as you mentioned.

2.2 only runs once , the emulator works and then I need to reboot eclipse to run the 2.2 app again

Hi jagguy,

1) Some times if you run the application from newer version to older version it will not work. It will simply hangs . I guess adb is creating problem while doing so...

What i used to do is just kill the old adb through "adb -e kill-server" then start the server again through "adb -e start-server"..

2) While creating a android project itself it will ask the "Build Target". Here while creating project in platforms - 4 0 3 you have selected Build Target as "Android 4.0".
This property will be seted in your application manifest.xml as <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11">
So if you try to run the same project by using the lower version like android 2.2 , i guess it will not allow to install the application. So here this property need to be changed....

I have 2 projects not 1. Each project has a different android version as I am testing it.

4.03 android app works

2.2 android app works once only then i need to reboot eclipse and run it again.If I run this project again without rebooting eclipse the app hangs .

so what do I do in this case? is the 2.2 corrupted o do i need to set another setting.

how do i kill the adb in windows7

for_yan

I think you installed Eclipse/Android on two computers;
is it the same with 2.2 on both ?

One thing to consider - don't worry about 2.2; learn how to write programs for 4.0.3.
By the time you write something real, 4.0.3 will already be not so new :)

i get this problem with android windows 2.2 and hangs at 27%

for_yan

It looks like those folks in the link imply that in case you do not close emulator - then it should run second time OK; in your case however that was not the case

Hi jagguy,

Try this in command prompt .... adb -e kill-server. Then run your project again....It will start the fresh abd.....

Santhana

Hi jagguy,

Run this command in command prompt.......
adb -e kill-server

And start the fresh adb by adb -e start-server....
I guess this is creating problem....

Hi jagguy,

Also, can i kill the process in task manager in win7 or do I need command prompt to do this and from what directory?

Yes ..You can kill...through task manager...

2) From Your SDK folder.... /android-sdk/platform-tools ..( Here you can find the adb)
