title: Android Emulator doesn't work as expected
body: <p>I'm new to Android Development and am currently trying to develop my first application </p>
  
  <p>I started with the tuturial available here: <a href="http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Tutorial</a></p>
  
  <p>I just setup the complete environment for android development:</p>
  
  <p>OS: Windows 7 x64, CPU: 3 GHZ AMD Phenom II X4, RAM: 8GB.<br>
  IDE: Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (Version: Indigo Service Release 1)</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded the SDK from here <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html</a><br>
  Then i followed the instructions from the tutorial.</p>
  
  <p>However my problem is: When I run the application as an Android Application the emulator gets started, but then get stuck at the following screen:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5wSlo.png" alt="Emulator Screen"></p>
  
  <p>Even after waiting for more than 30 minutes or even 1 hour it displays still the same screen. </p>
  
  <p>There was only one "problem" while installing the Java JDK:
   - For the JRE was already a newer version installed. (Installed: "Java(TM) 7 Update 2 (64-bit)" I however downloaded the latest sdk from the oracle site. I don't know if the runtime und the sdk must have the same version...</p>
  
  <p>In addition I was yesterday once I able to start the emulator and as long as I let it run it worked quite well... I could even debug the application... However, if I now tried to start the device from eclipse it crashed instantly. Same thing if I start it from de AVD Manager directly ("From Snapshot" or with "Wipe User Data" doesn't matter...). So I deleted the device and created a new one with the same options. Now however I am again stuck at the screen above.</p>
  
  <p>I have no idea of how the whole emulator works. In addition there is A LOT of information in the internet available about crashes and so on (lots of them for earlier releases of the AVD, however I havn't found anything that helped my out.</p>
  
  <p>It would be quite useful to know how the emulator usually works. And maybe getting a hint, what I could do to.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance...</p>
