Output:

Finally it displays the blank screen.

Anybody know how to solve these errors?

Answer 1

This error, as you can read on the question linked in comments above, results to be:

"[...] a problem with loading {some} hardware module. This could be something to do with GPU support, sdcard handling, basically anything."

The step 1 below should resolve this problem. Also as I can see, you have some strange package names inside your manifest:

• package="com.example.hive" in <manifest> tag,
• android:name="com.sit.gems.app.GemsApplication" for <application>
• and android:name="com.sit.gems.activity" in <activity>

As you know, these things do not prevent your app to be displayed. But I think:

the Couldn't load memtrack module error could occur because of emulators configurations problems and, because your project contains many organization problems, it might help to give a fresh redesign.

For better using and with few things, this can be resolved by following these tips:

---

1. Try an other emulator...

And even a real device! The memtrack module error seems related to your emulator. So change it into Run configuration, don't forget to change the API too.

---

2. OpenGL error logs

For OpenGl errors, as called unimplemented OpenGL ES API, it's not an error but a statement! You should enable it in your manifest (you can read this answer if you're using GLSurfaceView inside HomeActivity.java, it might help you):

<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"></uses-feature>  
// or
<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00010001" android:required="true" />

---

3. Use the same package

Don't declare different package names to all the tags in Manifest. You should have the same for Manifest, Activities, etc. Something like this looks right:

<!-- set the general package -->
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.sit.gems.activity"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <!-- don't set a package name in <application> -->
    <application ... >

        <!-- then, declare the activities -->
        <activity
            android:name="com.sit.gems.activity.SplashActivity" ... >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <!-- same package here -->
        <activity
            android:name="com.sit.gems.activity.HomeActivity" ... >
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>  

---

4. Don't get lost with layouts:

You should set another layout for SplashScreenActivity.java because you're not using the TabHost for the splash screen and this is not a safe resource way. Declare a specific layout with something different, like the app name and the logo:

// inside SplashScreen class
setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);

// layout splash_screen.xml
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent" 
     android:gravity="center"
     android:text="@string/appname" />  

Avoid using a layout in activities which don't use it.

---

5. Splash Screen?

Finally, I don't understand clearly the purpose of your SplashScreenActivity. It sets a content view and directly finish. This is useless.

As its name is Splash Screen, I assume that you want to display a screen before launching your HomeActivity. Therefore, you should do this and don't use the TabHost layout ;):

// FragmentActivity is also useless here! You don't use a Fragment into it, so, use traditional Activity
public class SplashActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // set your splash_screen layout
        setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);

        // create a new Thread
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    // sleep during 800ms
                    Thread.sleep(800);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                // start HomeActivity
                startActivity(new Intent(SplashActivity.this, HomeActivity.class));
                SplashActivity.this.finish();
            }
        }).start();
    }
}  

I hope this kind of tips help you to achieve what you want.
If it's not the case, let me know how can I help you.

Answer 2

I had the same error. Creating a new AVD with the appropriate API level solved my problem.
