[android-beginners] Re: Android emulator starts with a dialog promoting what is the HOME

2009-05-28 Thread Sean Hodges

It sounds like you installed an app on the emulator that declares
itself as a "home" app to Android.

Usually you have a checkbox at the bottom of the dialog that allows
you to tell it not to ask again. Worst case scenario; just ditch the
whole emulator and re-install it.

I'm not sure on how you reset it (maybe a factory reset in the
Settings like the phone?), but assuming you've kept everything backed
up, it might be easier just to start with a fresh emulator instance.

"emulator @ -wipe-data" is your friend :-) no need to reinstall
