Error appearing when running funfactsactivity

Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running?

Hello,

Is there more to the error message? Is the emulator fully running such that you can interact with it like a normal device? Is the emulator stuck on the Android logo?

I am also having serious issues when I am trying to to the quizzes and challenges. However I am also having problems with the workspaces overview, and the video playback.

The emulator is running but the screen is blank. Even the android logo is not appearing. The error message is complete.

Hello,

You've ran into a common problem with the default Android emulator. If you have a compatible Intel CPU(or are running Linux), you can try with Hardware Acceleration. Intel has instructions forWindows here. For Linux, you should just need to create an emulator using x86 instead of ARM.

Your other option is to try out Genymotion available from here.

Please let us know if that helps or if you need more assistance.

Hi,

The emulator is running but the screen is blank. Even the android logo is not appearing. In my logcat is says these messages in red.

I've tried using the link above, and I'm getting problems with the download.

also when I tried connecting my phone (which is a HTC one m7) it kept popping up with the same messages under catlog
