Hi,

I am running cyanogen so I was able to fix this using their guide to install device drivers

If you want to run the emulator anyway,

I feel like an idiot but where is the "references.txt" file you're talking about located?

I dont have processing on this machine, and I dont remember the exact path,
but you can get there from proccesing - file>preference. in the window opens there is a link to file.
it says something like: for more preference check here.

Thanks I edited the preference file but I'm still getting the same error. The emulator is still launching and now it's to the port # that the emulator launches to when I open it via the avd manager. I realized my error is different from your's though. Where your's says:

To configure the system:
Start Emulator from ADV Manager.exe, which is located in the android-sdk folder.

Look at the four digits number on the top of the emulator (left side), and copy it in a paper....



Start Processinf for Android, an open File/Preferences menu.
Open the link "more preferences can be edited" directly in the file". It opens the "preferences.txt" file.

search the line:
android.emulator.port=5554
and paste the number you copy before (in my computer, now it is 5544, but by default it was 5566...)
save the file.

To start to work:
Start Processing and compile/load the sketch. Processing will stop waiting for an available emulator.
In this moment, Start the Emulator, from ADV manager.

Now, automatically, Processing launch the Sketch, and run it. It is a long process, please be patient.


From this moment, you can load different sketchs form Processing, without re-start the emulator...

Try connecting to the phone via adb console and when it's connected click run on device in processing. Dunno if this works via usb tho, since I'm running CM9 and usb isnt working atm. But it works great if your phone supports ADB via Network. Just type adb connect <phones ip> in shell.

Tank you guys all.
