Android Blog Reader Application (Network Unavailable)

Hi there,

I was testing my blog reader application at my friends house (on my laptop) and it connected to the network and the parsing of all the JSON worked great. As soon as I get home I go to test it and it can't seem to connect to a Network. My laptop is connected to my internet (no issues with browsing internet) and my emulator does not have airplane mode on.

Also apparently my LogCat decided to go on vacation because it is not outputting ANY info at all.

the console has been outputting this 

[2013-08-29 19:43:24 - BlogReader] Android Launch!
[2013-08-29 19:43:24 - BlogReader] adb is running normally.
[2013-08-29 19:43:24 - BlogReader] Performing com.practice.blogreader.MainListActivity activity launch

[2013-08-29 19:43:26 - BlogReader] Application already deployed. No need to reinstall.
[2013-08-29 19:43:26 - BlogReader] Starting activity com.practice.blogreader.MainListActivity on device emulator-5554

[2013-08-29 19:43:27 - BlogReader] ActivityManager: Warning: Activity not started, its    current task has been brought to the front

Even though the only thing that is displayed on the emulator is the application.

Any Ideas?

I had not fully exited the app that was running on the emulator, once I did a force stop it worked.

Glad you got it working! Different wifi networks can cause problems like this when the emulator is running from one to the next. You can often restart the emulator as well, but force closing it was a great idea.
