Battle Drill: Manually Select a Different Emulator

I like to have multiple instances of the avd ("Android Virtual Device"), i.e. emulator running while I do development in order to test my app on the various SDK versions.  You can install your app onto the different emulators using the 'adp' tool with the -s option, but since I use Eclipse, I'd rather select my target device from within that IDE.  Here's how:

Task: Run your app in the avd emulator instance of your choosing
Condition: Eclipse with two or more avd emulator instances
Standard: The app runs in the emulator you selected

Procedure:

1. Run -> Run Configurations -> Target tab ->
2. Under "Deployment Target Selection Mode", select Manual
3. Click Run

// End procedure
