Fun Facts tutorial, emulator wont start

I have followed tutorial til part where i need to run the emulator. It will start up a mobile screen and it will stay black. No android logo, no nohting for hours. I have good pc that can handle many things. It should not be this long.

It even said: Device connected: emulator-5554

And an error: 10-06 10:35:42.660 2501-2501/? E/SurfaceFlinger﹕ hwcomposer module not found 10-06 10:35:42.660 2501-2501/?

In the AVD(emulator) you created, have you ticked ... "use host GPU"? If not then try doing that. Let us know if you still got issues if that is not the case.

You have to make sure your package name is in lowercase. Try changing your package name from SpikyStone.funfacts to spikystone.funfacts. You can try this for changing the package name.

I was missing this tick. Now virtual phone started up but app itself is still missing. I get error : pkg: /data/local/tmp/SpikyStone.funfacts Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED]

Thank you very much. I got it all working now.

You are welcome :)
