So, I ran into a similiar problem losing the Eclipse plugin on XP, and I re-installed Eclipse, which solved the problem for now. Also, to run the project in Eclipse, you go to your SDK directory
C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools> or wherever you installed it, and run emulator.exe -avd <Android Virtual Device> leave that up in the background, then in eclipse, you build your project through the project menu, then run it through the run menu. Select Android Application if it asks. This will automatically install it on the emulator and run it. That said, I don't understand how you were able to run the HelloWorld program in the emulator, if you are unable to run the emulator... My guess is that you are running into not having an Android Virtual Device created You can read about it here. http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/avd.html In short, you can run android create avd -n my_android1.5 -t 2 This creates an Android 1.5 Virtual Device Then in the SDK tools directory, run emulator -avd my_android1.5 On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 2:24 AM, Sha <sha.andr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > I am new to android.
