Hi all, I have the same problem but under windows XP. Do you have an idea about how to solve the problem? Thanks On Jun 11, 6:19 am, Keynan keyna...@gmail.com wrote: I am also having this issue.

[android-beginners] Re: Infinite Error: I fixed Failed to find an AVD compatible, only to get ERROR: unknown virtual device name
Hi, I have a new computer installed a fresh vista on it, downloaded eclipse, google android sdk 1.5, and plugin for eclipse for android. When I try to run my project that worked before I get: Failed to find an AVD compatible with target 'Android 1.1'. Launch aborted. I didn't change my home folder and all env variables are ok. Right click on project -- properties -- Project build target is: Android 1.1 Anything else I should check or do? I don't think I did something wrong because this is just a clean computer...

[android-beginners] Re: Infinite Error: I fixed Failed to find an AVD compatible, only to get ERROR: unknown virtual device name
Hey Andrex, I'm totally new with Android and program developing, but I really want to learn much more about both! Today I have downloaded SDK 1.5 and Eclips 3.4. But I am having the same program as you, I wrote a simple program, wanted to run it but it gave me the same message: Failed to find anAVDcompatible with target 'Android 1.5'. Launch aborted. How can I create an AVD, what is an AVD and where are you filling in the codes you are talking about? By example: So, I used codeandroidcreateavd-n my_avd -t 2/code I hope you can help me! Greatz By the way, Im using Windows Vista 32bit! (maybe it make sense) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Infinite Error: I fixed Failed to find an AVD compatible, only to get ERROR: unknown virtual device name
You shouldn't move the AVD files around. What's the SDK Target setting for your project? You can find out by bringing up the Properties dialog box and select Android. Since you created a target 2 AVD, you should set the SDK Target for your project to Android 1.5. Also double check the Target setting in the Run Configurations dialog box. -- Jack Ha Open Source Development Center ・T・ ・ ・Mobile・ stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
