Error with SDK and failure to create emulator

in Android Processing • 3 years ago

Hey All --

I recently installed the Android SDK and prover version of Processing on a MacBook Pro. Everything was working great. Then I had a major HDD crash and logic board melt down. I repeated what I had doen before on my new MacBook, however, now I'm getting errors.

I can switch into Android Mode without a problem.

But when I try to Run the sketch I get the following error in a pop-up box:

"An error occurred while running "android create avd" to set up the default Android emulator. Make sure that the Android SDK is installed properly, and that the Android and Google APIs are installed for Level 7."

When I click OK the top of the message windwo says: Unable to resolve taget 'Google Inc.:Google APIS:7'

And in the message window it says:

/Users/alan/Documents/Processing/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/android create avd -n Processing-Android-7 -t Google Inc.:Google APIs:7 -c 64M -s WVGA800

   status: 1

   1093ms

   stdout:

   stderr:

Error: Target id is not valid. Use 'android list targets' to get the target ids.

EmulatorController: Emulator never booted. NOT_RUNNING

Ouch. Emulator got killed, I think.

My system is fully up to date as far as I can tell.

I've tried deleting the SDK and PDE in various combinations but I keep getting the error.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Like the error message says, you need to install the Google APIs, revision 7. It's one of the items that you can install with the Android SDK tool.

Hi Ben --

Thank you for your swift reply.

As far as I can tell I've installed revision 7.

Below is a screen shot of the Installed Packages tab in the SDK manager.

I've tried updating it, deleting and reinstalling it and refreshing it.

Thank you for you help.

Yes.
I had this same problem. My problem was that I thought all the APIs from Google and Android were installed after I had checked them in the SDK-tool the first round after install, but when I ran the tool again I found that the Google ones hadn't been installed in the first round. So just try again and you will probably see that that the googles is still under the available installs.

Hi Johan --

I've run the tool several times and nothing changes. I've tried deleting everything and starting from scratch and the same thing keeps happening.

Thanks!

You're mixing up the Android SDK Tools, which are also release 7, with the Google APIs that are revision 7 as well. Look at “available packages”.

Hi Ben --

So while I thought I was installing all the available packages it turns out (obviously) that they were not installing.

I checked the Terminal window this time (it had been minimised in the past) and found a long set of Java related errors (copied below). As I said this a brand new MacBook pro running os x 10.6.4.

I went and manually updated Java, however, that did not fix the problem.

Thanks you again for you help.

You'll need to use the Android SDK forums for that.

Thanks for you help Ben. In the end I tried deleting everything and installing agin, and this time it took. I'm up and running. And by the way, I just got done reading your processing book and really enjoyed it.

I've also been experiencing similar problems with the emulator not launching.

In addition, when I first started playing around with the Android build of Processing (0191), I was able to upload sketches to my Droid phone.

Lately, though, I've been getting this error:

AndroidEnvironment.listDevices() did this to me
java.io.IOException: adb: not found

and I never get a connection to the phone. even when I can upload projects to it with Eclipse and the Android SDK. I've tried restarting the phone, the debug mode, reinstalling Processing, relinking to the Android SDK, and deleting the Processing pref file.

Any other ideas to try and link them up again?

UPDATE:

I also tried to upload a sketch from my work computer (also an intel Mac osx 10.5) and that couldn't see the phone either.

I tried a number of things, but what worked for me was:
launching terminal,
cd ~ ( to get to the user folder)
rm -R .android (to delete the android specific files)
and restarting Processing.

I know this is a rather hack-and-slash type approach, but now that it's working, I can't try things with more finesse! :)
