I've been developing for android since the first SDK came out, and have downloaded every early preview one after that- m3, m5, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, and now the 1.5pre. This latest one is the only one to give me trouble.
When I first tried to launch a simple program, the error "Failed to find an AVD compatible with target 'Android 1.5'. Launch aborted." popped up. So, I used <code>android create avd -n my_avd -t 2</code>. When the prompt "Do you wish to create a custom hardware profile [no]" came up, I just hit enter (and once I typed "no" and hit enter). Great. But then when I reran the program, it gave me the exceptions (as it wasn't in red): <code>[2009-04-25 01:00:24 - Emulator] emulator: ERROR: unknown virtual device name: 'my_avd' [2009-04-25 01:00:24 - Emulator] emulator: could not find virtual device named 'my_avd'</code> I moved the avd files around to various places- the tools folder, the project folder in the Eclipse workplace folder, the SDK director itself... no dice. When I delete the AVD, it gives me the first error again. Thus, I completely wiped Android and Eclipse from my system, and re- installed fresh (this means the Eclipse install, the Eclipse and Android workspaces, the SDK, etc.) Only thing I didn't delete was the shortcuts. But I was back at square one again. So, I turn to you, ever eager-to-help Google Groups.
