While it -is- true that you need to create the AVD, NetBeans has absolutely no issues with launching the emulator when you click Run. It will either ask you to choose a specific AVD, or you can use the settings to make it choose a specific one, or to let it pick one itself.
I tried Eclipse for Android development, even though NetBeans is my preferred IDE, but I couldn't get it to work properly. It wouldn't install at first, and when it finally did, it wouldn't compile properly, and it didn't do at all what I asked it to, so eventually I got tired of it, and decided to give NBAndroid another try. I had tried it previously, but it didn't work with Android SDK 1.5, hence why I tried out Eclipse. But those things were fixed, and I have no problems with Android on NetBeans now. One thing you need to be aware of, however, is that you cannot get stacktraces in NetBeans output (not that I've seen anyway), but that's no problem. You just need to launch the ddms tool, and make your application force close again, and you'll see the stacktrace just fine. :) Also, make sure not to close the emulator when you're done testing, but leave it open, since starting up the emulator takes quite a while, whereas it works just fine to leave it open. I hope it helps. - AngelOD On Sep 8, 9:54 pm, Xavier Ducrohet <[email protected]> wrote: > You're only missing the part about creating an > AVD:http://d.android.com/guide/developing/tools/avd.html > > btw, you can only launch the emulator manually from the command line > (because you need to give the avd name). > > Xav --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
