[2011-10-09 23:59:27 - HelloAndroid] Android Launch!
[2011-10-09 23:59:27 - HelloAndroid] adb is running normally.

Answer 1

From the looks of your screen shot you are running an emulator with android 3.0 in a tablet configuration. There are many problems with the android 3.0 emulator in terms of speed and reliability. For testing a program as simple as the one you describe create a new emulator using avd with the target sdk as 2.3 or earlier with maybe a WVGA screen. This should work fine for testing your code.

Answer 2

I had the same issue but what I have done is to start the emulator (in avd manager) and after that, I deployed the application and it works fine.
