android emulator does not work - android

I installed jdk 1.7.0, eclipse and the android plugin. I create a new android project but when I try to launch I get this message:

I get the same message if I try to launch the emulator from the sdk manager. What does that mean? Thanks, Andrea.

Emulator Takes Much Time and at the end it Fail

I am new to developing Android applications. My first application takes too much time to load, and fails at the end.
I'm using a Windows 8 laptop with 4GB of RAM and an Intel processor. I'm writing all of this because I saw an answer regarding Windows.

Please let me know.
I have had this problem before. I have tried following steps.
Plug-in your charger, if it's not connected.
Start emulator from AVD - manager, this works for most of the time.
Try Genymotion emulator, it is free for personal use and it works smooth. You also can use Eclipse plug-in.
Get it here: Genymotion
If you having troubles with installation, here is User Guide.
I am using it and I am very happy.

AVD Not Booting E/dalvikvm No valid entries found in bootclasspath

I'm unable to start my AVD. I've uninstalled and installed it 2nd time. Still the same. I have kept the AVD for approx half an hour, Still no luck.
Below is the Console log i get when try to run the Application in AVD.

I think there is a problem in mounting the data partition or its not available.
In a real device, if you have not flashed the data partition properly, with fastboot, the same issue will occur.

Try changing the ADB connection timeout.
I think it defaults that to 5000ms and I changed mine to 10000ms to get rid of that problem. If you are in Eclipse, you can do this by going through Window -> Preferences and then it is in DDMS under Android.
It's not uncommon for an AVD to be born (or become) corrupt/misbehaving. The solution for that is to make a new AVD (with same settings) and delete the corrupt/misbehaving one.
Another possible problem is AVDs can eat up a lot of your CPU, so if your system is already in struggle-town, chances of AVD booting and running nicely is slim.

Android Development on Eclipse: Always opens new emulator

This should be a really simple one. I am doing the Hello Android tutorial and I was able to get my app to install into the emulator. However, when I go to run again (with no changes) the eclipse environment insists on launching a new emulator instead of connecting to the existing one. How do I fix that? My development environment is a Mac Mini running Mac OS 10.6.8.
Thanks.
New Update:
I have found the answer:
First I read this [question linked above by Mangusto][1]
Use same android emulator everytime
Then I realized that what one really needs to do, if the emulator is opening and initializing slowly, is to start the emulator, wait for it to initialize, and then attach to it the manual way described in the link above. Automatic does not work if your emulator is starting slowly as it disconnects as I described in the update below.
Thanks for the responses.
Update:
Below is the print out from eclipse (I tried to link image but could not due to my user level. I need reputation level of 10 or more). I had already tried the suggestion below about automatic vs manual. I think the issue is that while the apk file was installed it did not automatically launch in the emulator. Therefore, eclipse disconnected from the emulator. I was able to see my application by navigating to the apps within the android emulator.

Its because your application Target mode has set to manual. To solve :
Right Click on your project-> Run as -> Select Run Configurations ->
In that select Target Tab ->Select Automatic instead of manual
Click on Apply and run.
Now your app doesn't prompt for a device.
For a reverse case Select Manual.
Hope it helps.
Go to DDMS Perspective and if you can't see any emulator device on the list, Find the "View menu" dropdown on the "Devices" window on the left, and click Reset ADB.
After adb restarted it should be able to show all of your devices again.
Me also had the same problem.First of all clean your project.Take the DDMS mode in the eclipse .Here you are able to handle the devices in the emulator.There you can see the emulator control.From there select your device and run it.Hope it will solve your problem.
I had BlueStacks android app player installed. Its an application that runs on mac and pc allowing you to emulate android. Looks like it uses the android emulator under the covers. To uninstall on mac, go to Library>bluestacksplayer and uninstall app ... .solved the emulator 5554 problem.

Android device not found

I'm trying to build "Hello, Android" with the Android SDK, but Android won't say "hello" to me.
I build with the 2.6 version of the SDK and run in Eclipse on Win XP. (I've installed the plug-in.)
Here's what I get:

I got this to work. It may be a timing issue. Have to press Menu button on emulator keypad to unlock the screen. Then the output is displayed.
