install Exception device not found ANDROID

Question

After

increasing the timeout period
trying kill server and start server commands
restarting avd
recreating avd
restarting the application
restarting the system

I'm still getting :

Failed to install DataAttach.apk on device 'emulator-5554': device not found
com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: device not found
Launch canceled!

What can be done in this case?
I'm running this app on Emulator (Android version 4.0)

Edit
Apps doesn't have any issues as far as code is concerned. Still they are showing error about device not found exception.

is only your DataAttach.apk is failed to install or all apk in your emulator 4.0 is failed to install? — Padma Kumar, Nov 25 '11 at 10:06
Any solution? Note that the application with correct code are also showing this exception but they are giving the output properly. — GAMA, Nov 29 '11 at 04:35

I was also getting the same error, but to my surprise the application was installed correctly and I could launch the application. I am sending this reply just to let you know guys if you want to check and see if your application was actually installed along with this error.

This has to be sorted out by manually installing the apk through adb command prompt.

After navigating to tools folder from comand prompt,use

adb install DataAttach.apk

(where DataAttach refers to package name, as in my case package name is DataAttach.apk)

If you're using a real device (not emulator) then try uninstalling the existing .apk from the device then re-run. This solved the error message for me.
