I tried to create “Hello-World” in mono for android using visual studio 2010. I followed the instructions given here: http://mono-android.net/Tutorials/Hello_World It worked fine until this stage:
"Visual Studio will now pack your application, copy it to the emulator and launch it. After that you will see something like this:"
This stage has not passed. Thus, there were no signs for packaging, copying to an emulator, or launching. I could see the android emulator start unsigned for my application. I tried to find the application in Android applications, it was not there.
I thought I found a workaround as follows: When I left the emulator, I returned to Visual Studio with the "Select Device" window. This time a window appeared with the device name "emulator-5554" highlighted in green, but only about 1 second (this device name or anything other than "Monodroid" did not appear when I tried to start the application at the beginning by pressing CTRL-F5 ) If during this 1 second I pressed OK, I saw these massages one by one:
"Application for packaging." "Waiting for device."
This last message did not end until I closed the window. As a result, another pop-up window appeared that said:
"There were deployment errors. Continue?"
When I clicked “Yes”, I achieved this: “MonoDroid does not support starting the previous version. Please make sure your solution is built before launching or debugging.” When I clicked No, I reached the above deployment error message.
When I was waiting for the 5554 emulator device to disappear after 1 second, all I can do is exit the “Select device” window, which ended with the same error message.
What can I do to make it work? Can someone help please? Thanks!
