I no longer get the error, but my device still doesn't start. The emulator window opens, there's a title bar and minimize/close buttons, but the window's client area is black, no Android logo or anything.

If it's using OpenGL, then make sure you've installed Guest Additions on the guest OS and enabled hardware 3D acceleration in VM settings. Using newest VBox version is probably a good idea, too. It might still not work, though, because VBox OpenGL sometimes does that. :shrug:

Another option: it works, but is really, really slow. Does your host CPU have hardware virtualisation support?

Either way, I don't really see much benefit of doing it this way. Running Android itself (Android-x86, specifically) in VirtualBox makes more sense, because you're virtualising instead of emulating ARM, so it works infinitely faster. Of course your code cannot depend on any native ARM code for this to work, so that's one downside.

I really want to do Droid development, but I strongly dislike Java for no good reason other than I'm unfamiliar with it and Eclipse.

You could try Scala, at the very least it's free (I think it's better than both Java and C#, for what it's worth).

You can use @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar theme (that Activity attribute seems to have Theme property).
