Im having this same problem, just so you can see some code mine is

_______________________________________________________________

package com.example;

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

public class HelloWorldActivity 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);
}
}


this is followed by the information from the OP except that mine says,

the difference is on the "Emulator] invalid command-line parameter: Files\Andriod\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe

Im wondering if this is the problem if so how do I fix?? Is Eclipse not configured right with Andriod??

This is problem because of your android path u set in the preferences page. If your path to SDK directory contains then this issue occures. This is a bug you can get an alternative path via command prompt without space.
something like this "C:\PROGRA~2\Android\android-sdk\SDK Manager"

If you don't know the 8-dot-3 name of your desired path, just fire up a Command Prompt and execute "DIR /X"... the short name will be displayed next to each directory.

Thats how it worked for me.

I run into the same problem before. What I did was to reinstall the SDK and download the platform. Instead of using the default directory, I use C:\Android\android-sdk. i use the same code above when i compile. But I don't see the "Hello, Android" text. Iam using Windows 7 Starter. And, Eclipse Indigo. I tried the command line approach of loading apk file unto the emulator but same result....here the command,,,run it in the tools dir. C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb -s emulator-5554 install C:\Users\cyrus\workspace\HelloWorld\bin\HelloWorld.apk

Looks like I figure it out. Just navigate thru (in the emulator UI) the menu to run "HelloWord" App. I can see the "Hello,Android" text now : )
