Android Emulator

I created a very simple Stack with one button. It runs in Livecode. I setup the android emulator and install it to the emulator. It installs successfully, but nothing happens. I can see the app in the emulator, and when I click on the app the emulator screen goes blank for a few seconds and comes back to the home screen. I am expecting the app to show my stack with the button. What am I doing wrong? I have tried different devices, I have tried with and without hardware keyboard, I have tried everything - but I can install on the emulator but not run. Any help greatly appreciated.

It's a Android library problem.
Update livecode to the last 7 version (no 8 ).
Then read this: http://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/Android_ ... enviroment

Thanks, that works now, but I have not figured out why. It appears only when I select certain AVDs.
I have the latests stable version 7 of Livecode installed, and I did follow the link given above.
I am evaluating LiveCode and I do have another problem, relating to playing mp3 file and image resizing, but I guess I better post this in a new thread.
