Android AVD on Eclipse shows 'Blank Screen' with no activity

When I start my AVD emulator, the emulator just shows blank screen with 'android' written at the center. I waited for half an hour but not开发者_如何学Gohing changed.

I am using Android SDK 2.1 and Eclipse 3.5

I see that quite a lot. In my case, I can clear it by shutting the emulator window, doing 'adb kill-server' followed by 'adb start-server', then restarting the emulator. I have also had more success launching the emulator first before letting the debugger launch it when I start debugging.

I was faced with a blank black screen after the emulator was started by Titanium and none of the emulator buttons such as Menu or Home did anything.

To fix it I entered the following commands from the sdk / tools directory:

android list avd 

This listed the emulator images. In my case it listed two:

Available Android Virtual Devices:
    Name: titanium_3_WVGA854
    Path: C:\Users\xxx\.android\avd\titanium_3_WVGA854.avd
  Target: Android 1.6 (API level 4)
    Skin: WVGA854
  Sdcard: C:\Users\xxx\.titanium\android.sdcard
---------
    Name: titanium_8_WVGA854
    Path: C:\Users\xxx\.android\avd\titanium_8_WVGA854.avd
  Target: Google APIs (Google Inc.)
          Based on Android 2.2 (API level 8)
    Skin: WVGA854
  Sdcard: C:\Users\xxx\.titanium\android.sdcard

In my case I wanted the Android 2.2 API so I entered

emulator @titanium_8_wvga854
