Error: "Failed to install apk on device 'emulator-5554': timeout"

Question

I have run my application using an emulator. Its taking so long time of about 5 mins to upload & 2 mins of installing my application on my emulator. After the two minutes it fails.

This is the Error console,

My application is located in E:\Projects folder. And I have increased my adb timeout to 15000ms. But still I see that my application is not loaded on to emulator.

Yon can increase your adb timeout setting in eclipse. Go to Preferences-> Android-> DDMS-> find "ADB connection time out (ms)" and give some more higher value.

Also, try to see if your emulator in connected to the DDMS. Either check from DDMS view or run "ADB devices" in command prompt
