Hi, Eclipse is not the fastest IDE and if you run on a smaller machine it might take a while to get started. How much memory do you have?
Of course there is no need to run Eclipse if you only want to use the emulator. If you go to the tools folder you should be able to start the emulator. Look at the instruction how to create an AVD file and run emulator with AVD file (http://developer.android.com/guide/ developing/tools/avd.html). I recommend to use VMware player and run Ubuntu to have a Linux like development environment, but if you have a slow machine it does not make sense. -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
