Android Virtual Device Not Running App

I am brand new to Android app development. I created an app with a text view that says Hello world!. I started up the app on a Nexus 7 and Nexus S virtual device. On both devices, it loaded the OS, but the app was no where to be found. It didn't launch and it wasn't in the applications view. Where can I find it?

PS: Sorry for the newbie question ;)

EDIT 1: I tried using Run > Run from the toolbar and selecting Android Application, and I got this:

[2013-06-09 15:20:23 - SDK Manager] Warning: Ignoring build-tool '.DS_Store', not a folder.

Maybe I stopped the emulator too early?

I had the same problem. I solved it, when I created new virtual device. At first in device log I was chosen ' 5.4" ' but after I choose Nexus 7. I don't know why, but this solved my problem and after running android application it showed in virtual device.

Google’s Nexus One is a powerful phone with the latest Android release. Being a device originally sold directly by Google, this phone seems to get updates the soonest. It also has a nice screen and is quite fast, especially with Android 2.2.

The important specs of this device from an Emulator perspective are:

Target platform: Currently Android 2.2

Screen info: Medium sized, high density

No keyboard or DPad Has track-ball

Therefore, let’s create an AVD configuration called NexusOne:

Within Eclipse, launch the Android SDK and AVD Manager

Select “Virtual Devices” from the left-hand options

Click the “New” button to create a new AVD configuration

Name the AVD: “NexusOne”

Select the Target: “Google APIs API Level 8”

Input the SD Card Size: “4GB”

Input the Skin Details: “WVGA800” (800×480)

Add a Hardware Property for Abstracted LCD Density: “252”

Add another Hardware Property for DPad Support: “No”

Save the AVD

Hope this works.:)

After you start the emulator, you need to select your app project and run it. That will install and launch the app on the emulator.
