'No active compatible AVD's or devices found

Question

I'm new with Eclipse ADT, and I tried to run an app on my tablet (a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1), but there is an error as below:

[2013-12-26 12:37:41 - SDK_Example] ------------------------------

[2013-12-26 12:37:41 - SDK_Example] Android Launch!

[2013-12-26 12:37:41 - SDK_Example] adb is running normally.

[2013-12-26 12:37:41 - SDK_Example] Performing com.metaio.Example.MainActivity activity launch

[2013-12-26 12:37:41 - SDK_Example] No active compatible AVD's or devices found. Relaunch this configuration after connecting a device or starting an AVD.

Can anyone tell me why my device isn't found?

Solution 1

So if you are using emulator then close it.
In Eclipse select Run > Run Configurations > Target > Always prompt to pick device > Run.
Now select a a device from the list or a launch a new emulator. The next time you Run the project it should work.

Solution 2

Seems like your device is not getting detected by the ADB.

Check if you have enabled USB debugging in your tablet or not. Sometimes disconnecting and re-connecting the device also makes it work. Also bear in mind that the API level of your application should be supported by your device.

Solution 3

The error shows that the API level which your application having the compatible emulator for that API level does not exists. You need to create the emulator compatible to your application's api level.

OR

If your emulator is already started then You need to reset the ADB to make the emulator available. Go to DDMS > In Device tab > Select Down arrow> Select Reset adb option.

This error message will appear , if there are no compatible android API in SDK is found. Try to update your eclipse with appropriate API. To update your API go to Window -> Android SDK Manager. Then choose required API version from Android SDK Manager window. Finally press install packages button .After required packages installation completed, create new AVD for your project and Run your project.

Solution 5

You have to create an emulator or use a device that is compatible with API target. i.e the device or emulator should have a android version that is compatible with your project.
