Today, I ran into yet another struggle. I guess this is what happens when you take a class that is a year old. When technology keeps changing but documentation doesn’t keep up. Well, today, I got as far trying to run a test app on an Android emulator. After my struggle with getting the Hybrid Application Toolkit up and running, I should have expected this. Well, now I was able to get things running. Running it on an Android Emulator was an option. However, it would compile for a while, then just die. As I started digging through the log, I finally found it was having trouble launching some Nexus device.
I dug through the documentation, and unfortunately, the version of Android studio used a year ago looks very different than the version I installed. Go figure. The fix…
you must start a project, or open a project in order to get the AVD (Android Virtual Device) manager. Once you can get into the device manager, I found that the default device was missing some prerequisites. I deleted the existing device, and recreated it. It told me what component I was missing. I installed it, and now the emulator fires up, no problem. (well, except for some new authorization issue on the device for my application. It’s always something, but I’m making progress.
