Hi guys. Having some trouble launching the app in the AVD in Eclipse. I am running Eclipse SDK 3.7 on a Mac 10.6.8. Installed the ADT, Android SDK, and my app targeting the Google APIs (Android 2.2). I launch the simulator, it installs my app sucessfully,but when I try to run it, I see the spiny wheel of death for a bit, and then it crashes telling me it Crashed unexpectedly.) The simulator also takes a while to load sometimes, and not others. Additionally, I tried to see if I could get the Hello World app from Google to work, with the same error happening there as well. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Many thanks in advance. Rock on!

Do you have access to an android device?

Simulator is always slow.

I have access to one --- but it still is crashing in the simulator once it launches which is concerning to me. Any ideas?

I'm new as most are, so try to narrow down the problem. Export the apk to the device http://wp.me/p1ZRa7-2g If the Apk works then the problem is the emulator. If you cannot export then you'll learn something about the problem. Fred

This post has a link to determine if your setup is correct. https://myskylla.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/got-milk-is-eclipse-setup-correctly-got-sdk-adt-platform-tools/

Thanks, I will try to install it on a device and report back.

Haven't tried the android device yet, but I have this information from the LogCat where the app crashes: 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity {com.drinkly/com.drinkly.BT_screen_splash}: java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse '5.5' as integer 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.app.ActivityThread.performResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java:3128) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java:3143) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2684) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.app.ActivityThread.access$2300(ActivityThread.java:125) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:2033) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4627) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:868) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:626) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse '5.5' as integer 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at java.lang.Integer.parse(Integer.java:433) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:422) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:382) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at com.drinkly.BT_screen_splash.onResume(BT_screen_splash.java:104) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnResume(Instrumentation.java:1149) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.app.Activity.performResume(Activity.java:3823) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): at android.app.ActivityThread.performResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java:3118) 01-05 15:19:45.956: E/AndroidRuntime(324): ... 12 more

Hi @plknudson, Just saw your Tweet...sorry for the delay! From what you posted above, it looks like this might be related to the splash screen for some reason? Perhaps you should remove that from your app, and see if you can get past the crash. If you can, that narrows down the debug a bit. If it still crashes without the splash screen configured, paste more LogCat data and we can go from there. Thanks! Mark

Installing on Android device still results in crashing. I got rid of the of the splash screen, but still see the same LogCat message. Also - this appears in the error log - not sure if it is relevant but maybe it is: Error Fri Jan 06 17:54:33 CST 2012 Invalid preference page path: XML Syntax Here is the LogCat data - it says error parsing 5.5 as an integer but without the splash screen it shouldn't say that (5.5 was the seconds that the splash screen was on screen for). 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity {com.drinkly/com.drinkly.BT_screen_splash}: java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse '5.5' as integer 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.app.ActivityThread.performResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java:3128) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java:3143) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2684) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.app.ActivityThread.access$2300(ActivityThread.java:125) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:2033) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4627) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:868) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:626) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse '5.5' as integer 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at java.lang.Integer.parse(Integer.java:433) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:422) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:382) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at com.drinkly.BT_screen_splash.onResume(BT_screen_splash.java:104) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnResume(Instrumentation.java:1149) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.app.Activity.performResume(Activity.java:3823) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): at android.app.ActivityThread.performResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java:3118) 01-06 17:58:41.326: E/AndroidRuntime(362): ... 12 more

I am having the same issue, has anyone resolved this? One of my testers has a phone with a search button and pressing that allows him to get past it.

Just noticed you are using a splash screen. As GoNorthwest said above it's the Splash screen. The Android Splash Screen has problems. Solution: Simple, don't use it. You'll need to delete the screen and update the config file to fix this apk. Fred
