Android Emulator won’t run application started from eclipse

Had the same problem, the console log stalled after:

Launching a new emulator with Virtual Device

and the emulator never showed the HelloAndroid application. I finally figured it out!
In Eclipse go to

Run –> Run Configurations

Then change the Launch Action for your application (e.g. HelloAndroid) from “Launch Default Activity” to “Launch:” and then select your application from the pull-down menu. This did the trick for me.

HTH,
Sven
