Everything seems to be set up but when I complete Run as- Android- nothing happens in the emulator. I am using Android 44 version 19. I also do not have the console feature in the lower area of Eclipse so am not seeing if anything is loading. Any suggestions.

2) Also important is the logcat view to get that go to Window -> Show View -> Other (right at the bottom) -> In the next Windows expand Android -> select Logcat and click ok
Now you should be able to get the error if any pin pointed.
3) When you start an app make sure you are not in the layout file i.e. (layout.xml), or have clicked somewhere else. From the project directory on your left, click any of the .java files say for e.g. MainActivity.java and now click the run button the green play button at the top and it should load just fine in the emulator
Hope that helps . Ask again if you have any doubt.

2,478 PointsI am so excited! It worked! I was in the layout file. I closed the layout file then I selected MainActivity.java tab. And this worked. I have also found the Console and Logcat views. Thank you for the great help Gunjeet!
