[android-developers] Re: Supporting both 1.5 and 1.6

There is an issue re the AVDs not showing up in the target list filed
here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4303

I've been using the "adb -e install" command with an exported APK
against an already running Android 1.5 emulator for the time being.
You can start that from Eclipse by the Window menu -> Android SDK and
AVD Manager option.
