P800 emulator working again
by jcf. Average Reading Time: less than a minute.
There were two things that set back my P800 development last week:
- My Symbian emulator crashed right after startup – making debugging of my application just a bit problematic
- Way too much work – three clients, three deadlines
While I can do something about the second point (work, work some more, and then work at night), there’s nothing much I could do about the constant crashing. The helpful people on the forums weren’t being helpful so my app is sitting on the backburner at the moment.
But yesterday an update of the UIQ SDK was posted on the Sony-Ericsson site. After downloading the 12 MB and installing it, I tried to run the emulator (with little hope of it actually working) – but lo and behold: It started up and my app showed up. Time to spend a bit more time in the Java IDEA of choice and polish, then release it.
P800 rocks
But the development sucks. I currently have the exact same problem with crashing the emulator: It appears for a second, telling something about “replace main and back..” (the rest is not visible) and then its done without any error message in the console.
I already have the upgrade of the SDK installed, still no go at it thuogh :-(
Do you have any ideas? Oh and.. IDEA rocks too, I’d say. We use it at the company and I’ve got it installed at my laptop, absolutely the greatest IDEA I used so far.
Well.. whatever you’re coding for your P800.. I hope you’ll get results soon :-)
