Answer 1

If you have already created Specific AVDs then follow this steps

Right click on your android project->Run Configuration-> in target tab select-> always prompt to pick device

Then run your project and it will show you all online as well as offline AVD's ,so now select AVD from this list. it will start that AVD and run your application.

Update

"Still no compatible AVDs with target 'Google APIs': Aborting launch"

Have you created those AVDs by setting target as Google-API ? if not then edit your AVD and set target to Google-Api and run again

Answer 2

Create AVD that supports android-17 (Android 4.2) or android-8 (Android-2.2).

How to create new AVD ?

on Eclipse, [Window> Android AVD Manager] select,

you press the [new] button, you can create new Android Virtual Device 

Answer 3

Make sure you have a compatible AVD created in accordance with your app's target.
*An AVD and the target mentioned for your specific application should match.

If the AVD is not yet created, follow these steps:

on Eclipse, [Window> Android AVD Manager] select NEW,  
(press the [new] button), you can create new Android Virtual Device    

Or the most easiest way is to go for a fresh install of Eclipse which has built-in Android SDK. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Answer 4

I faced the same problem. I created new data definitions(i.e Eclipse---->Window--->AVD Manager--->Data Definitions). Add the data definitions corresponding the android version you selected as the target while creating the application.

Answer 5

My solution: I have the same problem with a proyect that it uses Google Apis, in the AVD Manager I create a new, and change the Target to Google Api 16 and It works

Answer 6

I've had the same problem. my solution was to simply re-install the SDK.
