My emulator won't work.

Hi. The emulator I created in the "Running the Fun Facts Project" video, in the Android Development Track, doesn't work. It did not print "Hello World". Should I try an emulator like Genymotion to get this to work? I am using Windows 7. Thank you.

Is your hello world code code correct?

Did you edit the settings of your emulator to make it run smoother?

If the emulator doesn't work you can always just use a real device. :)

Hi Jared, The code I used was in their example. I thought it would be OK but it does not appear to work at all. Have you used the code in the "Running the Fun Facts Project" example?

Thank you.

Yes, the code worked for me but iv'e never actually tried it on the emulator :) I just use actual devices... it's much faster.

Hi Jared,

OK, I'll try that. How do I go about downloading it to my device?

Thank you.
