"ionic run android" shows this error -> basic_string::_S_construct null not valid

I`m following this guide to install a new fresh Ionic2 here.

And I`m getting this error:

**ionic run android**

**ionic info**

Your system information:

Gulp version:  CLI version 3.9.1
Gulp local:   Local version 3.9.1
Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-beta.4

Node Version: v5.7.1

Any ideas? Should I install a previous version of jdk?

It looks like it may just be a bad build since it was trying to load the emulator (which can be painfully slow)

You probably will have better luck if you attached a real device and run ionic run android --device

What are the specifications that “Alteste” emulator has?
Can you try with a general device with lollipop or try with a real device? Is the same output?

Mike, b1x1t0, Thanks for helping out. It is now working. :slight_smile:

  1. “Altteste” was probably some mistake that I’ve done… So:

  2. I re-installed GenyMotion, checked if everything worked doing adb devices

  3. used ionic run android --device --target=0020584193 to deploy to GenyMotion - It worked!

  4. I`m now getting some issues deploying on real devices (Moto G). It’s deploying fine, but the behavior is wiard (blank-view), but this problem is now out-of-this-topic (It seems a ng2/ts problem). Well, I will keep searching to see why this is happening, probably some n00b mistake again.

Thanks once again guys!

Hello,

I had same issue and the cause was due to absence of emulator. I created one and this issue resolved.

Update: It seems like it was resolved for a time being… I am still facing this issue… Any help please…
