I have installed Android SDK on my Ubuntu 11.04. I have run a common ./android to install. It was expected to see some options like "Available packages" to install android packages. But I haven't seen any options. After that have configured SDK Location path in Preferences in Eclipse I didn't get any SDK targets. When I open AVD Manager in Eclipse, it says "no AVD available". Could you please let me know how can I configure AVDs in my Eclipse?
To configure a basic Android Virtual Device (AVD)
Open Eclipse and select Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager.
In the resulting window, select Virtual Devices in the left panel and click the New button on the right. This launches a new window to configure an AVD.In the first blank of this new window, give the device a name of your choice. Let's choose Simple2.2, indicating that this will be a relatively minimal device running Android 2.2.
Under the Target dropdown, select Android 2.2 - API Level 8.
Under SD Card enter 1024 for Size and be sure that the MiB dropdown is selected.
For Skin select Built-In and Default (HGVA).
Leave everything else as is and click Create AVD.
After a while (be patient, it may take a minute or so) this should create a new AVD with the characteristics specified that will appear in the list if Virtual Devices is selected in the left panel.
You might prefer a different configuration, but the one described above is considered optimal.

I have a problem in creating a new android virtual device in eclipse (Eclipse Java EE).
the first problem is i cannot find the "AVD manager" button when i click in "Window" in eclipse.
i tried to access to the AVD manager by opening monitor.bat in tools folder
and the second problem was that when i fill the AVD window i see that OK Button is unavailable.
thanks in advance :)
You need to open "SDK Manager" and install an emulator image ("Android 4.4 Intel Atom x86 System Image" or something like that). "CPU/ABI" is a required field when you're creating a new emulator. You haven't chosen one (and probably you haven't installed one) - that's why OK button is disabled.
I am trying to install the Samsung GALAXY Tab Emulator for Eclipse but I can't find the "Android SDK and AVD Manager". I can only find them individually:
I can't see any options on either the AVD or the SDK manager that lets me install the Emulator. On the Samsung developer website it tells me I need to use the Android SDK and AVD Manager:
Where can I find this program?
I think You are following this Link :
Using-Samsung-Emulators-for-Android-Application-Development
this tutorial is so OLD so There is some updates in it you have to follow..
Download SAMSUNG TAB EMULATOR
After Downloading the skin extract the zip file and copy it in the path Android SDK > Platforms > android-x > skins. In android-x (x is the platform version number)
In Eclipse IDE go to Window > Android Virtual Device Manager.
To Create New Android Virtual Device Click On New And in the Device field Select Device with Specified Resolution And in the Target Field select Android API level (Android API level must be same where the skin has been copied) from the drop down list available.
Then select the Built-in option in Skin options available. And in the built-in option drop down box find the skin added in the platform and select.
Now click on OK button to add the new skin. (NOTE : please chose all related information according to fields)
and Your AVD has been created succesfully..
Hope This Helps...
I don't think, you really need to launch them concurrently to install Samsung Emulator, but if you really need it you can do it from command line. Just go to android-sdk/tools folder and run:
./android sdk
for Android SDK manager
./android avd
for Android AVD manager
it will be probably android.exe on Windows, but should work the same way.
Try the below cited answer from Kim Ki Won, I found here:
"I found under website.
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-GALAXY-Tab-Emulator
Extract zip file to add-ons under android sdk path. then launch Android SDK Manager. under "extras" folder check "Android + Google APIs for GALAXY Tab, API 8, revision 1" item and install package.
That's all."
I just installed the Android Eclipse Plugin and the Android SDK from Google yesterday. I open the AVD Manager window by going to Window -> Android Virtual Device Manager. I then click "New" and am presented with the "Create new Android Virtual Device (AVD)" window. The problem is, I can't get the "OK" button to not be greyed out. I choose "Android 2.2 API level 8 " as the the taget
You must select at least one CPU/ABI from the dropdown when creating an AVD. If this option is disabled please install appropriate system image in your Android SDK Manager. Probably you can install ARM EABI v7a System Image. Also please don't forget to restart Eclipse..
The recent upgrade to Dreamweaver CS5.5 finally installs the Android SDK correctly, but when using the Build & Emulate feature it only launches the 4.0.3 AVD.
How do you tell it to launch one of the other AVD's such as 2.3?
A quick answer > Android 4.0.3 is the default emulation platform , you can change to other platforms through the Manage AVDs dialog. Detailed steps below
Go to Site > Mobile Applications > Application Settings
In the resulting Native Application Settings Dialog, provide the Author Name and Under the Select Target OS Version Click on Manage AVDs …
You will see Android SDK Manager’s Tools tab on the top of your screen, Click on Tools > Manage AVDs..
The resulting dialog lists the existing AVDs
Click on New ..
Provide the Name for the New AVD and select the preferred Target platform from the Target dropdown.You can leave the rest of the options to default.
Close the dialog and return to the Native Application Settings dialog.
From the dropdown for the Target OS for Android , you can see the New AVD listed, Select It and Save.
You can now Build and emulate on the New Platform!!!

I have installed the SDKs(1.5,1.6,2.1,2.2) from AVD manager, and created a new emulator device with version 1.5. However, I cannot find this device in run configuration target. It only displays the devices created with version 2.2.
What's the minimumSdkVersion/targetSdkVersion version in your XML ?
It looks like this is a bug. "Run Configurations"/"Debug Configurations" filter out all emulators that have API Level lower than what is specified in target property in default.properties file of Android project.
There is one workaround.
In your "Run Configurations"/"Debug Configurations" select your configuration, go to "Target" tab and click on "Manual" radio button. This will show you list of running emulators when you want to start/debug you app.
Start Android 1.5 emulator manually (from AVD Manager), wait until eclipse sees this emulator as "online" in "Devices" view.
Start you application and select the Android 1.5 emulator to run on.
