I have this app. It works fine on my phone and it used to work fine on the emulator. But when I did an update of Eclipse to Android API 15, the trouble started.
If I want to run my app on the emulator i get the following output in my Console
[2012-01-18 09:12:21 - ] Android Launch!
[2012-01-18 09:12:21 - ] adb is running normally.
[2012-01-18 09:12:21 - ] Performing activity launch

[2012-01-18 09:12:59 - ] Installing .apk...
the top part of the manifest:
(i changed the "<>" to "[]", didn't know how to make those tags visible)[manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.visualreality.sportapp" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:versionCode="3" android:versionName="1.2"]

[uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"][/uses-permission]
[uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE" /]
And it keeps installing. And the app will not start on my emulator. when I copy the .apk file to my phone, it works, so no errors in my code.
Can someone help please?
update In Eclipse I have build the .apk file. I then install the apk file in the emulator via de CMD: using the adb.exe in /android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
adb -s emulator-5554 install -r /path/to/your/apkfile.apk
After that you can run the application from the application menu in the emulator.
First of all, restart the emulator if you haven't tried that, I've experienced that the install process gets stuck sometimes.
Second, there were pretty large changes made to the build scripts in revision 14 of the SDK tools (change log), this might cause some trouble if you updated from a previous version. Are you launching your app on the emulator inside Eclipse or from the command line?
Edit: looks like you're running from inside eclipse. Try launching from the command line by entering this command from your project root (which contains build.xml):
ant debug install
If this doesn't work, you might have to manually upgrade the project by running the following command:
DISCLAIMER: By doing the following you might lose any customizations to your build.xml file. Please backup your project first!
android update project --path path_to_your_project
This will update your build.xml along with some property files (like ant.properties) to work with the updated build process.
