I'm trying to test an app in an AVD with Android 3.1 as the target but it is running terribly slow and doesn't seem to respond. I created a new AVD with Android 2.1 as the target but this AVD does not show up in the run configurations in Eclipse even when refreshed and restarted.
Does anyone know why I cannot run older versions of Android?
I've found that the targetSdkVersion in the manifest file affects what shows up in the run configuration. Setting the target selection mode to Manual in the run configuration should open a popup when you run it that lets you select any AVD, not just ones that meet the targetSdkVersion.
Try to increase the emulator RAM to 1024Mb.
Go go to AVD Manager click on the emulator and then edit.
You should find Device ram size and set the new value and then "Edit AVD".

I am new in android and trying to run a simple Hello world! program using android studio. I defined an AVD which is a Pixel device with API version 28 (Pie). When I run the program, the emulator gets up, but it doesn't load the application. I have tried following, but none of them worked:
Restarting avd server from command-line.
Changing skin to QVGA.
Creating a new emulator.
Setting graphics to software.
Any idea on the issue?
I think you do not enabled USB Debugging in your AVD.
Try this steps:
1- go to your AVD setting
2- System
3- About Device
4- Multiple Clicks on Build Number
5- Go back to setting
now you see Developer Options
6- goto developer options
7- check USB Debugging
Hope to be useful
Have you enabled USB debugging inside the emulator?
Before you create an Android emulator, you need to install an Android system image that your emulators can use.
Note: If you installed the Android SDK and NDK during RAD Studio installation, a valid Android system image (such as Android 4.2.2 API 17) should already be shown as Installed in the Android SDK Manager. In this case, you do not need to install another Android system image.
Still, if you are not able to run the emulator then try this Memu Emulator
This is a very small and simple emulator to use and install. It works perfectly on every pc.
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.
i have made an android application using android 2.1. i want to test how my application will behave on a device with android 2.2 and 2.3. How do i test it in eclipse. i do not have any real devices to test my application.
In eclipse, if i make an emulator with 2.2 , it does not list up in my application run configration. what i mean to say is that eclipse is not allowing me to run my 2.1 app on 2.2 device. how do i test my application on an emulator?
thank you in advance.
Launch the emulator in which you have to test the application. Wait until the home screen is ready.
then run the application it will load it in the emulator currently running.
You have specify the following line in emulator,
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
You should be able to run your application on any device (emulator or physical) that has a version greater than the one specified in your manifest minSdkVersion attribute.
Note that you can also run an application compiled with a greater SDK version on an older emulator (again, the minSdkVersion attribute should be having a proper value). This way you can test support for the newest features without crashing on the older platforms.
The previous answers are both good. To be more specific, start your 2.2 emulator by going in "Window" -> "Android SDK and AVD manager", select the emulator you want to test on and press Start.
After the emulator finished loading run your project with "Run Configurations...", select "Manual" deployment in the "Target" tab and after you press Run you should be able to select the emulator from a list of running Android devices.
Hope this is clear enough.
I've downloaded Eclipse Classic 3.5 Galileo, the last version of Android SDK, downloaded and installed Eclipse Android 1.6 platform.
I've created first (and the only) AVD with Android 1.6 and the default skin.
The log may show more:
I've filtered only neccessary messages (warnings, errors).

As you can see, my new AVD has started in 16:17 and it was still loading in 17:35...
The emulator looks like this:

PS: The restrictions about number of links for new accounts are REALLY annoying...
In Eclipse Galileo running in Linux I lowered the version of the Android emulator. In the AVD config menu I lowered the Target to 1.5. I think the project Build target API level, entered when you create a project, needs to match the API level of your emulator.
I had same problem. It was always not responded when started, tried from eclipse, directly (windows vista home).
But it work if I set compatibility mode to windows xp service pack 2 and select to run as administrator.
Try recreating the avd through the android tools gui. Helps for me sometimes...
Finally I've reinstalled the whole system (Windows Vista) and now it's working. Perhaps there was installed some bad software, which Eclipse, or sth from Android SDK do not like... ;-)
All you got to do is while creating a Virtual Device, add a new hardware -
"Device Ram Size" & set it to "512" or whatever is enough as per your requirement. Basically you have to reduce the RAM size so that your computer can provide it to the emulator. If you have already created one, you can do above steps in edit mode.
I have added a second Virtual Device to test a different screen resolution (QVGA), but now I wanna switch back to the first AVD (HVGA) again. How can I set the virtual device in Eclipse to be used by default or even specifically for my project? In the properties I can only set the API level.
I also couldn't find any information in the command line tool documentation to set this manually.
In Eclipse, click on Run in the toolbar then Run Configurations. Select your application and click on the Target tag. You can then select which AVD to use or set it to manual so it asks you each time you run the app.
Note that if the AVD's Android version is lower than the Minimum API level set in the Manifest, the AVD will not appear in the list.
In AndroidManifest.xml, see that your minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion match your device.
In new Eclipse Kepler version, right click your project, then click Run as->Run Configurations->"Target" tab, you will see all AVDs in the list, select one as a preferred one, then "Apply" and "Run"
