I don't know if this will help, but make sure your emulator is using the sdk version that is greater/newer than the minimum sdk version declared in your app. I had the same problem recently and there was no obvious error or alert, it just did not come up.

If you have an older computer, the emulator could take forever to load, and if it takes too long, it will hang.
