When I received this error last week: - I clicked on the Installed Packages in the left column of the Android SDK and AVD Manager. - My window had the Android SDK Tools, revision 3. I refreshed the Tools even though I had just downloaded it. - Clicked on Available Packages in the left column - Clicked the dropdown arrow to the right of the checkbox. It should display all the APIs and Platform. - Select the ones you want to install and click Install Selected.
I remembering see that error when I clicked the arrow next to the ..../ repository.xml line without selecting any platforms below it. The AVD window will remain empty until you install a platform. Let me know if that helps.
