AVD for ICS not starting

[kjoussen]

Hi All.

It might be that this questions was allready answered but i haven't found.

After installing the latest JDK and SDK i installed B4A, all without errors.
I can create AVDs for Android 2.3.3 und 3.x and the Emulator will start them.
When i create an AVD for ICS i either receive an error (cannot allocate memory) when starting or, and i haven't recognized when, i receive no error but the emulator won't start at all. Just nothing happens.

On my PC i have Win7 Ultimate and 4 GB RAM and approx. 140 GB free HD.
So memory in either way is enough available.

Does anybody have an idea where to look or how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

For me ICS avd's are un-usably slow.

By now i would love slow as long as it would start at all.

I guess that you have installed the native image, right?

 

[kjoussen]

Your guessing was right, it is installed.

As mentioned before, with older Android Versions i don't have this problem.
Only with 4.x

I know that this is not a original B4A-Prob, therefore i asked if someone could give me a hint.

First success.....

First to mention: i started learning programming in the late 80s with Pascal and C and started "hating" Java a bit later.
Today is one more day which told me that i'm right.

I deinstalled the SDK and reinstalled it in a folder without (!) a space in the name and guess what?
The ICS-Emulator-Image comes up and runs.

I don't know whom to blame about that kind of shit, but we are in the year 2012 and a misbehaviour should not happen due to a space in a foldername.

Unbelievable!

The only thing what is not working correctly is the resolution.
The Emulator comes NOT up with resolutions higher then WVGA.

So the desired WXGA for Tablets .... not yet.

Any ideas?

And another addendum....

Funny enough: with Android 3 the Emulator runs with XGA-Resolution, allthough only in Landscape.

This problem is really weird....
