Android Galaxy Tab Emulator
edit after looking at picture: Wait--first of all. You know you have to drag that slider thing across the screen to get started, right? After that--
I'm not sure about that specific one, but I did notice some general weirdness with the Android emulators. I found a pattern that makes them work--be patient and deliberate.
First restart all your stuff--heck restart your computer to be safe.
Launch eclipse. Start a debug session with the emulator. wait. WAIT... wait... Might be 30 seconds, might be 3 minutes, who knows.
Eventually the emulator should come up and, behold, maybe it works!
If so--here's the trick--never ever shut it down. Leave it up the whole time you are debugging. It will load your app in seconds and run it like a champ. Shut it down and you will have to restart eclipse to get it to work correctly again.
Between the long wait time and that bug I've seen people extremely frustrated (including myself).
If this isn't your problem--sorry, worth a shot.

I encounter really strange behavior with android emulator. First of all, I am using extended monitor for development. So i code on my laptop and check the app on emulator on second screen. For some reason, I can't see emulator again after disconnect vga cable but I can see emulator is running on taskbar. Somehow, I can't bring emulator out on desktop screen or move to another screen, it just hidden and I don't know how to bring it out. It already happens to me two or three times. Can somebody help me out? What can I do to solve it?
Below is screenshots of my desktop with emulator running.
alt+tab
avd manager
It happens again when I change to another monitor for extended screen. I try what #Zoe suggested press ALT+SPACE to move but it doesn't work because move is grey out.
So my solution, I created two emulators, for two different monitors.
I am not sure why I got downvoted though.
Here's the idea. I have a HTC Desire HD phone, rooted, custom rom (JellyTime 4.2.2) installed. This is the second time this has happened:
After a phone restart, phone gets stuck when loading on splash screen. I see the animation, then it stops, but splash screen stays for infinity amount of time. Last time this has happened I had android debugging on, I used android-sdk for adb reboot recovery. And got it working again, but this time I wasn't cautious, and I don't have the debugging enabled. You might ask Why not go into recovery mode using power+volume combination? Well, I can't. My volume - button is broken. So here I am, with a stuck phone, with no apparent way to reach recovery mode. Any suggestions, guys? I'd be grateful.
EDIT: I was asked to define broken. The button IS missing, but even without being missing, the bottom button simply doesn't react when you click it mechanically.
By holding the volume up I was able to get to fastboot, and then I entered my recovery mode.
I've started Android Development and I'm using Eclipse for the first time in years, coming from a Visual Studio background. When I click Run in Visual Studio I begin to get feedback immediately. Using Eclipse however, I get very little feedback and it's only after a few clicks of the run button.
It normally takes a few minutes for the app to run after making even only the littlest changes to the UI XML, and I will see nothing in the LogCat or Console tabs. I'll click run.... nothing, click run again after a few minutes.... nothing, click it again after a few minutes.... and finally it'll give me some feedback that it's launching the app.
Is there any way to improve the responsiveness / feedback I'm getting?
Yeah....just waiting. You don´t have to push the run button many times. I would be happy if there where another solution, but fact is, that the emulator is terrifying slow. Even this depends on the properties from which You created your AVD. There are some setting when creating a new one, internal storage and ram size. The lower these values are the faster it creates an emulator. This depends on what You need, if You don´t need sd card storage, disable it. If you don´t need much ram size, set the minimum. Even there are some tricks to speed up a little bit:

It seems that there is a faster alternative emulator, but I hadn´t tried it:

I am using the hello android tutorial and creating an avd through eclipse. When starting the emulator no image is used. It simply displays a black back screen with the word ANDROID in the center and a blinking cursor at the end of the word ANDROID. I have followed the steps to the T for installing the SDK, Eclipse, and the ADT. Even starting the emulator as a standalone produces the same result. Is there a step I am missing to get the emulator to load an android environment to test in?
How long are you leaving it before you close the emulator? In my personal experience I have found the emulator to take quite a long time (Even up to a minute, sometimes longer) to fully boot up to the home screen.
I'd advise waiting a little bit longer just to make sure you're not closing it before it loads.
Edit:
Also have you tried looking at the log to the bottom of Eclipse? If for some reason there is a problem in fully loading the emulator there may be some sort of error message posted there to keep you informed.
I'm an Android newbie trying to learn how to port one of my apps to the Android platform. I've been following this tutorial:
http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html#overview
I'm stuck unable to boot up the emulator :( When I tell it to start, it would just stick at the "Android" boot animation for hours on end. I searched online and found some pages talking about disabling the boot animation. I did so and tried again. There's no boot animation (just the word "Android" flashing), but it's still hours with no sign of booting. 'top' shows an app called 'emulator' using a lot of CPU.
Am I doing something wrong? My system is an AMD Athlon X2 dual-core QL-60, 1900 MHz with 3GB ram.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
I had this problem and fixed it by deleting the emulator and creating a new one.
In eclipse:
Menu Window -> Android SVK and AVD Manager
Select Virtual devices (should be selected already)
Select the emulator giving you problems
Click edit to see the setting and remember them, click cancel.
Click delete to delete the emulator.
CLick create to create a new one that is the same as the old one.
Click start.
It started in about 30 seconds after I did that.
Normally the emulator starts in about 2-3 minutes for me. Then it mysteriously stopped working. I was seeing boot animation for 30 minutes before I gave up.
Note #1: Doing this will wipe your user data.
Note #2: As mentioned else where, it's a good idea to check "Enabled" for the snapshot, this lets you do faster startup next time.
Note #3: Also my new emulator came up in chinese. That's kinda of weird :)
Android emulator release 9 has new "snapshot" feature. You can save state of emulator (make image of emulator) and avoid booting when you start the emulator.
I see a similar problem while attempting to run applications on an emulator while the emulator isn't started yet. I find that starting the emulator manually via the "Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager" will load in just a couple minutes or faster, as expected. After the emulator is started manually in this way, you can load applications into it without issue.
I faced same problem on my laptop using I5 8GB RAM. The only solution that worked for me was connecting the laptop charger when launching the emulator. May sound wierd but this always works for me.
