Crystal Ball will not launch in virtual device

I am making the assumption that my SDK settings are different from what is shown on the video and thus my app will not launch in the virtual device tool. Are there updated guidelines or has anyone overcome this in the past?

I sent up my new application as follows: Min Req SDK: API 7 (Android 2.1) Target SDK: API 16 (Android 4.1) Compile with: Api 19 (Android 4.4) *there was no other option

Then when I created a new virtual device: Device: I actually tried most of the devices trying to trouble shoot currently have Nexus S selected Target: Android 4.4 CPU/ABI: ARM (ameabi-v7a)

Hi Wendy,

You are okay with proceeding with the different versions like you've described. If you're having trouble running the app then it must be something else. Do you get any kind of errors in the Console or logcat tabs when you try to run the app?

Thanks Ben.
Thank youI trie for your help. As you mentioned in a different thread my adb wasn't connecting for some reason. I did a few things and eventually ran a Debug and now it is working. Thank you very much!

Awesome - glad you're on your way! Here's hoping for smooth sailing...

There have been some recent changes to the tools lately. I've been trying to add Teacher's Notes where appropriate, and we have a few video fixes on the way. But if you get stuck, look for help here in the Forum or ask a new question.
