'Hello Android' Application not coming on Emulator screen ??

Current post is on how to get the 'Hello Android' Application on Emulator Screen

You followed all the instructions properly, the code got compiled and the application got deployed on emulator, still you cann't see 'Hello Android' on emulator screen?

Just Relax.

Some times the emulator takes about 2 minutes to load the things.

So first you see 'ANDROID _ '
then you will see 'ANDROID ICON'
and finally your application with 'Hello Android'

So take a deep breath and give some time to emulator to load the application.

Congratulations on your first application on Android.
