app won't run in Android simulator

[Chris Sheffield]

Thanks, Jacque. Super helpful.

Unfortunately I’m not getting any meaningful output. The errorDialog handler is not reporting anything, and when I try logcat without any filters I just get a message that says "W/ActivityManager( 1228): Activity destroy timeout for ActivityRecord{a750baf8 u0 com.readnaturally.androidtest/.mblandroid}” or something similar. So I don’t think the app is even getting to the point of trying to run any scripts. I didn’t even have anything in the stack script until I added these debugging methods.

I’m thinking it’s an engine-level thing. Something’s not right. Are you able to successfully launch an app in an Android emulator? If so, would you mind sharing your AVD settings? Maybe I just need the right settings in order to make it work.

Thanks,
Chris
