You didn't indicate if you were using Eclipse, the command-line tools (e.g., ant), or something else to build your project. Assuming it's ant, with the emulator running, run "ant install" (minus the quotes), and that should recompile the application and, if there are no errors, install it on the emulator. Also, if you attempted to create your own HelloAndroid application, using the same Java package as the original, there seems to be an...issue with the emulator, that the launcher will not show the newly-installed application, though it will continue showing the original one. Effectively, it appears the emulator will only support one application per Java package (e.g., you can't have com.commonsware.android.FooActivity and com.commonsware.android.BarActivity in two separate applications show up in the launcher at the same time). If you think that might be affecting you, you have to manually remove the original (adb shell "rm /data/app/...", where ... is the name of the .apk file of the application to remove), then reinstall your new application. Or, just move to a different Java namespace, and there will be no collisions (e.g., com.commonsware.android.foo.FooActivity and com.commonsware.android.bar.BarActivity). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development -- coming in June 2008! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
