I tried to lunch it more than once and everytime I got a different result one of these: 1- The application (Calculator) opened normally but there is a window which is saying "Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it? Wait/Ok" and sometimes the screen give like a red box around the whole emulator screen. 2- I just got the Home Page sometimes with the same warning "Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it? Wait/Ok" and sometimes the screen give like a red box around the whole emulator screen. but the difference here that the whole Calculator app doesn't run.

I did few steps and I thought it might work but it didn't worked perfectly what I did that: - I increased the RAM and SD to 16GB. - I put the ADB Connection time-out(ms) which is in the DDMS from 5000 which is by default to 10000.

Sorry for making this Question that long but I really need your help, and I am sure that some other users faced this problem before.

Answer 1

This error can point to so many different things, and there is many different fixes. To sum those I've gathered:

Problems with Eclipse: Clean project, rebuild project, restart eclipse.

Invalid characters: Remove any special characters in Eclipse project name. Use only [a-z] and [0-9] not even [ ] (whitespace)

Error in included jar: Try without jar and see if it runs, if does fix somehow.

Errors in manifest package setup: Right click in eclipse on project -> Android tools -> Rename application package (rename to something similar, you can always rename back). Problems with device: Remove app from device and re install again.

Answer 2

16GB is a huge amount of memory for the emulator. try to use something less than 750MB. I usually use 512Mb for most applications. that could be a reason for this error.

Also Please make sure the TARGET ABI you choose for the emulator should match with your targetSDKversion specified on the AndroidManifest file. There can be number of reasons why this error occurs. Please share the AVD config for any further investigation into this.
