No AVD Installed

I have installed Android SDK on my Ubuntu 11.04. I have run a common ./android to install. It was expected to see some options like "Available packages" to install android packages. But I haven't seen any options. After that have configured SDK Location path in Preferences in Eclipse I didn't get any SDK targets. When I open AVD Manager in Eclipse, it says "no AVD available". Could you please let me know how can I configure AVDs in my Eclipse?

To configure a basic Android Virtual Device (AVD)

Open Eclipse and select Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager. In the resulting window, select Virtual Devices in the left panel and click the New button on the right. This launches a new window to configure an AVD.In the first blank of this new window, give the device a name of your choice. Let's choose Simple2.2, indicating that this will be a relatively minimal device running Android 2.2.

Under the Target dropdown, select Android 2.2 - API Level 8.

Under SD Card enter 1024 for Size and be sure that the MiB dropdown is selected.

For Skin select Built-In and Default (HGVA).

Leave everything else as is and click Create AVD.

After a while (be patient, it may take a minute or so) this should create a new AVD with the characteristics specified that will appear in the list if Virtual Devices is selected in the left panel.

You might prefer a different configuration, but the one described above is considered optimal.
