Eclipse ADB not launching

Question

I'm trying to run an application through ADB using Eclipse. However the application doesn't launch on my phone. Here's the log from Android console:

[2014-02-27 22:31:52 - HelloWorld-android] ------------------------------
[2014-02-27 22:31:52 - HelloWorld-android] Android Launch!
[2014-02-27 22:31:52 - HelloWorld-android] adb is running normally.
[2014-02-27 22:31:52 - HelloWorld-android] Performing com.teddygaming.helloworld.MainActivity activity launch
[2014-02-27 22:31:52 - HelloWorld-android] Uploading HelloWorld-android.apk onto device '4790050082a3106c'
[2014-02-27 22:31:53 - HelloWorld-android] Installing HelloWorld-android.apk...
[2014-02-27 22:32:03 - HelloWorld-android] Success!
[2014-02-27 22:32:03 - HelloWorld-android] Starting activity com.teddygaming.flappymuhittin.MainActivity on device 4790050082a3106c

There doesn't seem to be any error here, but it just doesn't launch.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, with adt-bundle installed, using OpenJDK 7. USB Debugging is enabled on my phone. I have edited /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and added my vendor id. I've tried restarting adb server but that didn't work either. Please help me with this, I can't understand why it doesn't work.

I was being a bit lazy, but I found these that could work: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10845365/eclipse-becomes-stuck-on-starting-activity-when-sending-application-to-device — Molimo, Feb 27 '14 at 20:58

May be it's crashing. Check the logcat log. Also print a line in the first line of onCreate() of com.teddygaming.flappymuhittin.MainActivity.

I've added `System.out.println("Activity created");` to my onCreate() function but it's not printed. Logcat is empty. – Mertcan Ekiz Feb 27 '14 at 20:52
use log.d(), system.out.println is used for printing in consoles, not in logcat log. – StarDust Feb 27 '14 at 20:56
I used `Log.d("Main Activity", "Activity started");` but I still don't get any output in logcat – Mertcan Ekiz Feb 27 '14 at 21:06
grab the logcat log with adb and post here. – StarDust Feb 28 '14 at 08:02

Can you launch in emulators? Also, I think you've already done this, but make sure Security->Unknown Sources is checked on your phone.

Yes, running in an emulator works, as well as transferring the apk to the device manually and then running it. Unknown sources is also checked. – Mertcan Ekiz Feb 27 '14 at 22:21
Kinda last ditch efforts since the install is successful: -Make sure the debugger is closed -Restart your phone -Update Eclipse and ADT If those don't work post your phone's rules, maybe it's incomplete. – Molimo Feb 27 '14 at 22:49
