Android AVD Error

I'm doing the Crystal Ball Lessons and I just fixed the path issues with the bundle files and finally got rid of the error messages there but now when I click play it says "No compatible targets were found. Would you like to add a new android virtual device" Anyone have advice or solution?

An Android Virtual Device is an android emulator to run your apps virtually. So, Unless you want to run them on a physical phone you should click yes add a new android virtual device. Also make sure that the target API for your AVD matches the allowed targets set up in your app. (I.E. if the device is API 10 (Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread) and you set the app up for the lowest API to be API 16 (Android 4.1.2 Jellybean then the targets would not mach and you would not be able to use that AVD to test your app)

I followed those steps in the instructional video already and it added the virtual device still run into the same problem.

Try the set up method shown in this video.
