on top of that everytime I open the AVD on eclipse it wont let me create a virtual device, I have to go straight to the adt folder and open the AVD.exe.

any way to fix this? is it the new android adt version 22.6? because it all happend after my eclipse did some updates. I also tried reverting the updates and it didnt work.

Answer 1

ADT version 22.6.3 java compiler 1.7 I had same problem. But I solved it. In my case use same device for future launches was checked. which try to run on previous emulator. So Go To Run Configuration->Target->uncheck use same device for future launches if you want check Always prompt to pick device so that you get choice.

here is console where both problem and solution is here
