"emulator: ERROR: no search paths found in this AVD's configuration" Android Activity issue

Question

When I try to run the Hello, Android Activity, it says: emulator: ERROR: no search paths found in this AVD's configuration. And underneath that it says: Weird, the AVD's config.ini file is malformed. Try re-creating it.

I'm stumped and would really appreciate if someone could help me out.

This is what I have for the code:

package my.helloandroid.activity;

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

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

Three things which came to my mind.

Be sure to check if you have correct path to avd, Window->preferences.
Press right mouse button on your project folder and use android tools -> fix project.
simply restart eclipse.

I tried all of those and nothing worked. Do you have any other ideas? – Beau Schrader Dec 28 '11 at 19:19
