So I set up my app with Buzz touch and its a messenger app and I have the menu,email,and texting so far in my app. So I got it all set up in eclipse and followed the instructions that came in the zip when I downloaded the source code. So I went to go on my Avd to test it and the app installed on the avd but when i open it nothing comes up at all. This makes me frustrated. What did I do wrong? I am new to developing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Read the Android Process in MySkylla's Guide to Buzztouch. It should help you. www.myskylla.com Fred

Hi @Jaggar345, Are you sure that it installed in the Emulator? Just because the emulator comes up doesn't mean that the app installed. If you look in the console pane of Eclipse, it should tell you if there are any errors or not. If it says it installed successfully, then check LogCat to see what's being said there. Also...you might have to click on your apps icon in the Emulator to start the app. Here's a step-by-step guide for compiling your app that might help: http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Compiling_Your_Android_Application_v1.0.pdf Mark

@GoNorthWest's tutorial is great on this subject...it is what got me up and going the first time. Also, i have found the emulator to be somewhat buggy...especially when it comes to things like splash screens. Consider using your phone instead of the emulator. (asuming you have a droid phone). Remember that you will have to set your phone to accept non-market apps. At this point the only thing i use the emulator for is creating my screen shots. :)

Yea the console said that the app was installed on the avd and then when I open the app up on my avd all I see is a black screen and nothing happens I have also tried loading the app on my phone and it installs and the same thing happens where is is just a black screen. :(

I also did exactly what your guide says to do and the outcome was the same with the black screen with no menu or anything that I had set up on buzztouch.

This is what my console shows: [2012-05-07 00:11:15 - Text me 3] New emulator found: emulator-5554 [2012-05-07 00:11:15 - Text me 3] Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched...

[2012-05-07 00:11:56 - Text me 3] Success! [2012-05-07 00:11:56 - Text me 3] Starting activity com.textme3.BT_activity_root on device emulator-5554 [2012-05-07 00:11:58 - Text me 3] ActivityManager: Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=com.textme3/.BT_activity_root } And the outcome on the avd and a real android devise is a black screen.

Interesting...seems like it should work! Is there anything in your LogCat panel that suggests there is something wrong? In your BT_Config.txt file, in the assets folder, there is a field called dataURL. If you can send that to me, I can check your configuration and see what might be the problem in the app. MrkFleming at gmail dot com Mark

Thats okay I am just going to scrap that app, I am teaming up with another dev and we are going to begin an app. Thanks for the help though..

Cool! Hope all goes well...let me know if anything else comes up! Mark
