For the hell of it, I decided recently to start learning a bit about programming for Android. It seems fun, and increasingly useful as of late. I am also pretty decent at coding, so I figured I would give it a go.
I have never messed with virtual devices though before, and am at a loss here. It seems every time I compile and launch my project, I have to re-launch the emulator (that takes forever and a half to load mind you)? I did some searching and found ways to SPEED UP the launch, but it still takes longer than is convenient to preview my project.
I saw that setting the run configuration to manual would simply re-install my apk without re-launching the emulator, but the emulator (or virtual device) is not listed under available devices (in fact, nothing is). It only gives me the option to select the launcher and start it anew.
Is there some hidden setting I am missing here? I am assuming this line is the problem (shown in the consol section when running my project with a virtual device all ready open):
[2012-02-01 10:17:33 - Hello World] Automatic Target Mode: Preferred AVD 'DefaultAndroidEmu' is not available. Launching new emulator.
Any help is appreciated, any more information needed, I will provide. Thanks in advance!!

Android programming is done using Eclipse, but Eclipse itself has
nothing to do with Android programming. You'll want to find a good
Android support forum. I did some of this about 18 months ago and
continued for about 4 months. If you'd like to read my notes (I list
some good Android support forums), go to
http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/android.html.

No, you're asking about the Android Emulator and the Android Development
Toolkit (ADT), which are tools provided by Android (Google). They're
built on top of and integrated with Eclipse, but they are not Eclipse.
Eclipse is a general-purpose platform for building applications (mostly
IDEs). The distinction isn't always obvious to newbies, but it is,
nonetheless, important.
There's a "sticky" post at the top of this forum that explains this and
lists some good Android developer support channels.

It's possible to endow any existing Eclipse download with additional
features, like the C/C++ plug-ins, but where possible, I try to download
the dedicated Eclipse package. That way, I know I'm getting exactly what
I want. If your main interest is C/C++, I'd download that Eclipse
package directly, then finesse anything else I wanted by means of Help
-> Install New Software.
Someone else may be able to give a more direct answer to your question,
which I dodged (sorry). Plus, I'm not a Macintosh guy.
Best of luck.

Sorry. I didn't fully appreciate your confusion. Whatever you were
trying, try this link instead.
http://eclipse.org/downloads/?osType=macosx
Click on Mac OS X 32 Bit or 64 Bit next to "Eclipse IDE for C/C++
Developers". This will get you what I was talking about in my previous
response. If this is not what you were trying to do, you'll have to wait
for one of the Mac guys that haunt this forum to come along.
