I know your index.html is placed in the assets folder, but try to change the super.loadUrl line to:

super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

As per this tutorial PhoneGap Documentation - Getting Started with Android

Sometimes the app icon doesn't show up in the Emulator. You can try one of the options below:

  1. Have the Emulator open, try launching the application again in the same emulator.

  2. Clean all the projects, and try to wipe all the data in the emulators (option should be there in AVD manager) and then Build the only project which you will require to test. The application icon should be there DEFINITELY in the emulator.

  3. Have Emulator configurations low. Don't have high end Emulator Configurations. Mine read as 500 MB RAM and 64 VM Heap. Internal Storage should be 200. Run it on Intel Processor for recent Android versions rather than ARM processors. You will get Hex error in Console, if you haven't enabled Virtualization in Bios. But, don't bother about that. You can check previously answered questions reg this, if you still feel you need to know.

Let me know, if this works. I had faced issues and one among the above solutions definitely resolves it!

Thanks!

  1. Are you looking at the correct AVD - ?

  2. Can you check if there is any problems with the project. Check the "Problems" view

    Window -> Show View -> Problems or Window -> Show View -> Others-> Problems

  3. Try to fix the android properties : Right click project -> Android tools -> Fix project properties


By cleaning project it means select
Steps:
    1. Select the menu Project->Clean
    2. Build Project: Project -> Build

you have to keep trying until your console says "installing", one might work is that run one emulator and then if nothing happens, leave that on and start another run with a second emulator, sometimes that does the trick. adt emulator sucks in general though, get a cheap android phone my advice.
