Android emulator does not start in eclipse

Question

I just installed the whole shebang in order to develop android apps in Eclipse (I'm running 64-bit gentoo). Everything seems to go fine, and I created the dev group's hello-world example:

package com.nfshost.flyingmonkey.android;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
        tv.setText("Hello, Android");
        setContentView(tv);
    }
}

I go to try and run it in eclipse, and according to the console it seems to work:

Only, the emulator never shows up on my screen like the guide says it will (http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/hello-world.html#run)

Solution

See first comment to my question:

Automatic Target Mode: using device '015D7D330A028012' seems to suggest it's installing onto a USB-attached device, rather than firing up an emulator. – Christopher Aug 26 at 19:17

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. I've already created the virtual device, and it's got a happy green checkmark next to it. The API levels match.

I had the same issue, looked at my phone which happened to be connected via usb, and presto, the app was there. Very nice...
