Android emulator does not start in eclipse

Question

Hi

I just installed the whole shebang in order to develop android apps in Eclipse (I'm running 64-bit gentoo). Everything seems to go fine, and I created the dev group's hello-world example:

package com.nfshost.flyingmonkey.android;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
        tv.setText("Hello, Android");
        setContentView(tv);
    }
}

I go to try and run it in eclipse, and according to the console it seems to work:

Only, the emulator never shows up on my screen like the guide says it will (http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/hello-world.html#run)

Answer 1

Go to Window -> Android SDK and AVD Manager -> Virtual Device and create a New Virtual Device there (Remember to specify the correct target API level for that device). If that virtual device is an accepted virtual device, the app will fire off that device when you run the app.

Answer 2

See first comment to my question:

Automatic Target Mode: using device '015D7D330A028012' seems to suggest it's installing onto a USB-attached device, rather than firing up an emulator. – Christopher Aug 26 at 19:17
