Visual studio 2015 cordova: Get stuck at Generating resource IDs when run android device or android emulator

[Giovanni]

Hello folks,

I have a problem while I'm trying to run my cordova project on an android device and android emulators.  

I'm using visual studio at the time.

When I try to run it on a android device or an android emulator it gets stuck at: Generating resource IDs.

The strange thing is that it works perfectly with ripple emulators.

Please help me!

Hi Giovanni,

Telerik AppBuilder is a cloud-based development environment that allows you to build hybrid mobile apps leveraging Cordova. We provide a VisualStudio extension for AppBuilder which allows you to take advantage of the Telerik Platform cloud services. However, looking at your stack trace I don't think you are utilizing our environment and tools.

This is why I cannot comment on the issues you are having. But if you decide to try AppBuilder, you can use the 30day trial you're currently running and evaluate the features and functionality AppBuilder offers. In that case, we will be more than happy to help you resolve issues or address questions on the development of mobile apps within AppBuilder.

Regards,
Tina Stancheva
