"Select Deployment Target" after clicking Run

Hi, I'm presented with the "Select Deployment Target" screen after clicking Run and I'm not sure what to choose on that screen.

I have a screenshot but I'm not seeing the option to include an attachment when I'm typing this question.

Thanks!

You should be presented with a list of any AVD's you've set up and any real Android devices connected to the computer. It will be divided into currently running AVD emulators + connected real devices and AVD's that can be launched. Select the one you want to install and run the app on, and click OK. If you choose an emulator that isn't currently running, it will start up automatically.

And if the list is empty, click "Create New Virtual Device" to make a new AVD emulator.

Hi Seth. Thanks for the quick response. I think the main issue was that I just upgraded to windows 8.1 and having many other problems on that laptop including not able to access wifi. I had forgotten that I also have Android Studio installed on my MacBook Pro. I tried it on my macbook and everything is working as expected... Go figure....

I'm just going to use my macbook instead.

Thanks.
