Answer 1

Do you Run your project or only start an emulator? After starting emulator, click Run button and select "Run as Android project".

Answer 2

Emulator thread automatically cuts off if for some time you have not done any activity on it.. so.. keep running your app to keep emulator on LIVE!

My advice - if you having an android phone.. please usb debug it and Debug your application on your phone... You will feel relieved from the long durations of the emulator........ to run!! :)

Answer 3

I am not sure how long you waited, but starting the emulator the first time (before you have a snapshot) can take quite a long time. Depending on you hardware it can take more than 10 minutes to launch.

Answer 4

I had a similar issue which was solved by creating a new emulator and running it. You can check progress in Devices view through DDMS. Sometimes, this problem may occur when a snapshot enabled emulator hangs because of error, which can be solved by starting the emulator with user data wiped.
