Gideros examples are not working on the official android emulator

No errors or anything, just a black screen...

What Android SDK version do you have? You'd need to upgrade to the latest one
And is same thing happening when you launch example on phone and not Android emulator?

sunnyguy

I have the latest version (revision 19) of SDK, and unfortunately I do not own a real Android device...

Hmm, don't really remember how Android emulator worked, since started with Gideros, I can test on device momentarily, so I forgot one existed.
But maybe it does some kind of log like it does on device? Is there a button DDMS in the right top corner of eclipse?

And which Gideros examples have you tried?

Do other examples work? Like HelloWorld from ADK? Black screen means the emulator is not started properly, or it is still initializing (may take some time). After starting the emulator, you should see Android welcome screen, only after this your app can be installed and tested.

Official samples for Android SDK are working properly, but projects exported from Gideros and then imported in Eclipse are just showing black screen after running.

I somehow managed to run some examples from Gideros succesfully on the emulator but it worked only once. Now when I'm trying to run them again nothing happens, just a black screen. It's really strange... :-/

Are you running them from within eclipse IDE? There should be an emulator's error console, look for problems there. Maybe the connection is lost?

Yes. Here is what console shows
