Problem when running app in android emulator

Question

im working under Windows 7 32 bit, with Eclipse3.6.1+latest Android SDK when i run the project in Eclipse it start the emulator and shows 3 cmd windows like this: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/3182/tempb.png and the last windows shows this error:

E/ddms: shutting down due to uncaught exception
E/ddms: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad version: standalone
 at com.android.sdkstats.SdkStatsService.normalizeVersion(SdkStatsService.java:467)
 at com.android.sdkstats.SdkStatsService.doPing(SdkStatsService.java:195)
 at com.android.sdkstats.SdkStatsService.ping(SdkStatsService.java:130)

whats interesting about it is when it finished to run all three cmd windows for 1-2 sec it shows the emulator then i actually need to press the turn on button and wait until the device boot up and open the program (wich takes about 2 min)

i have two questions: 1. why is this error shown and it still works after all 2. why cant it jsut boot on my applications right away without turning on the device and wait 2 minutes until i could open it.

• im a noobie so sorry if i made you laught :P

Answer 1

It looks like the same problem here:

E/ddms IllegalArgumentException 'Bad version' with both 32 and 64 bit Java JRE installed

On why startup takes a long time ... it needs to launch a whole emulated OS to make your apps at home. You can leave it up though, and just run your app again and again.
