it has taken more than i expected to get the dev environment up and running - mostly a PATH issue which was solved using: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/72292c1ccb2e1bb4/
My emulator now works (and i can run it and get the default android screen) however when i try to run the hello world sample code i get this error message: An internal error occurred during: "Launching HelloAndroid". java.lang.NullPointerException Any suggestions on where to start would be much appreciated. -bp -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
