Unable to install AVD device not found error

Question

I have tried AVD with various names and SD Card size, but still following problem persists:

New emulator found: emulator-5554
Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched
HOME is up on device 'emulator-5554'
Uploading IfElse.apk onto device 'emulator-5554'
Installing IfElse.apk...
Success!
Failed to install IfElse.apk on device 'emulator-5554': device not found
com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: device not found
Launch canceled!

Answer 1

Try running the Virtual Device form the command line instead of AVG Manager. You can do this by running the command below, substituting the directory with your path to android-sdk-windows\tools

C:\Eclipse\android-sdk-windows\tools\emulator -avd [Device name here]

If you are behind a proxy define the IP address and port like below;

C:\Eclipse\android-sdk-windows\tools\emulator -avd [Device name here] -http-proxy 172.16.10.4:8080

Once the device has opened up, you may install the apk using the command below (once again substituting the android-sdk-windows and APK with path)

C:\Eclipse\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb install C:\apps\Android\apk\XBMC Remote.apk

Answer 2

This is the issue because of the Memory issue while opening the Emulator. please close all your programs while launching the emulator and try. and create the lower version of the AVD like Android 2.0 first.
