Eclipse (with adt) won't see/recognize a running avd

Question

I have been trying this for a week or so now.

I have followed the tutorial to get hello android working but while an AVD starts the program doesn't run.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit with eclipse 3.5.2 running adt 0.9.9 and SDK r7.

the sdk is installed in C:\android-sdk-windows eclipse is installed in C:\eclipse

What i can do:

• create an AVD (through console and the manager)
• i can compile the code
• Run my code (on automatic it will start an avd)

Bad stuff that happens

• when i run my code on manual my running avd does not appear
• when i run on automatic with my avd already started i get the error --> emulator: ERROR: the user data image is used by another emulator. aborting

what i have tried

• using the correct version of eclipse (i started on 3.6)
• reinstalling everything (inclusind deleting my work space)
• starting the avd with wipe user data
• changing the port for DDMS from 8600 to 8200 (suggested on another post)
• adding the path to sdk tools to environment variables
• SDK location in eclipse -> preferences -> andorid is C:\android-sdk-windows

Beginning to pulll my hair out.

Can anyone help

Emulator problem in Android

I think I had the same problem before. Its something to do with the folder or image file eclipse creates. It gets corrupted and you have to manually delete it or something like that.

Look at the link, there are multiple solutions to your problem. See which one works.
