Answer 1

You're getting this error because you don't have any accounts registered on your virtual device.

Unfortunately, solving this is a bit difficult, since the SDK doesn't come bundled with Google Accounts support. As a result, there's no account types available on your device that you could use to register a new account.

Unless you can find a third-party application that registers itself as an contact provider (I'm not aware of any yet), I can't think of a solution here other than to develop on an actual phone.
