Answer 1

First you have to specify the Android SDK installation folder to the Eclipse Android plugin. Go to Preferences -> Android and set it. After that you have to install the target versions you want to develop against.

Go to AVD Manager -> Available Packages and download the targets that you need. After that you should be able to create your AVD. If you still have problems, try restarting Eclipse because that solved some issues for me a number of times.

If you still have problems try reading the Troubleshooting Tips.

Answer 2

You have the command line wrong. You need to add create to it. Try the following:

android create avd --target 2 --name my_avd

Creating an empty Drawable in Android

Several places refer to the system resource @android:drawable/empty but as far as I can tell (i.e., it's not in the reference docs, and aapt chokes saying that it can't find the resource) this doesn't exist. Is there a gene...
