(aside: my apologies for the regular posting of newbie-level
questions -- i'm just trying to stress test stuff as i learn it so
it's not surprising that i'll screw something up and need help to fix
it. also, hysterically, with what little i know so far, i've been
asked to give a beginner-level tutorial locally on how to get started
with android. the mind reels. anyway, onward if i might ...)
curiously, since just yesterday when i ran the emulator on my ubuntu
10.04 system and it worked relatively quickly, this morning, bringing
up a new AVD that i just created (nothing special about it) is taking
*forever* -- literally, it's been 10 minutes since i started the
emulator and i'm still looking at the boot animation screen.
is there a way to debug what's going on? i've already verified that
not long after i start the emulator, "adb devices" sees it and i can
"adb shell" into it. some time after that, what i assume is the
"bootanimation" utility starts to run which produces the neat
"android" boot logo and ... much more time passes.
during this time, i'm shelled into the emulator, "ps" works (i can
see the "bootanimation" utility running), "top" works, things are
clearly running but i have no idea why, just in the last several
hours, things are so much slower. this is an absolutely stock AVD (1G
SD card), no added apps, etc. it's the same thing i was testing
previously with no issues.
given that i can shell into the emulator and poke around, is there
something i can check? at this point, i'm baffled.
