I resigned to the fact that maybe, my non-success on setting up my Android development environment was indeed due to the fact that this ole’ laptop is not up to par with the needed hardware specs; all this laptop got is a 256mb ram. I already tried uninstalling and re-installing the SDK and my Eclipse IDE. I tried moving it to another directory. The emulator just wouldn’t launch my application.

Sad though that this laptop was able to persist through college Java projects. I was able to run a Java ME from Jasper before! O well, I’ll try all other approach. I’ll let you know once I get this running.

I have finished my downloads last Friday. Save for the Android plug-in for Eclipse, which I got to install sometime Saturday. Unfortunately for me, when I try to launch the emulator, it would not go beyond the textual splash screen reading ‘Android’ appended with a blinking cursor…

I was trying to troubleshoot my development environment last night. Still, nothing. Either Jasper couldn’t handle the hardware requirements to run it or might as well try to re-download all files and re-install them.

Might be the second option. I refuse to give up!
