Not seeing Crystal Ball app when emulator starts

Followed the startup video, and used the Teachers notes to make the latest changes to Eclipse. Looks like Crystal Ball app loads, here is Console data:

[2014-02-12 07:57:53 - CrystalBall] HOME is up on device 'emulator-5556' [2014-02-12 07:57:53 - CrystalBall] Uploading CrystalBall.apk onto device 'emulator-5556' [2014-02-12 07:57:54 - CrystalBall] Installing CrystalBall.apk... [2014-02-12 07:59:00 - CrystalBall] Success! [2014-02-12 07:59:00 - CrystalBall] Starting activity com.example.crystalball.MainActivity on device emulator-5556 [2014-02-12 07:59:04 - CrystalBall] ActivityManager: Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=com.example.crystalball/.MainActivity }

But when the app starts the emulator displays a screen showing the time and date and a lock with a circle around it. I delete the Crystal Ball and reworked the exercise a couple of times but still get the same results. I checked the download and uploaded the latest plug-ins but still no joy.

You need to drag the lock out of the circle, imagine it is a real phone. Your app is running fine you just need to "unlock" you phone.

Thanks Grant, Just don't have that as a feature on my phone so I didn't recognize it. The Crystal Ball popped up once I unlocked the phone.
