title: 64-bit Eclipse won't install .apk on Android emulator
body: <p>On Windows 7 64-bit, running Eclipse 3.6 64-bit, JDK (jdk1.6.0_23) 64-bit and Android 2.3 (bitness?), running a program via Eclipse's Run|Run (Ctrl+F11) invokes the android emulator, but won't install .apk on the emulator (and certainly won't run it).</p>
  
  <p>(update, answering @Computerish's question) All I am getting at Eclipse's Console is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[2010-12-16 10:23:33 - HelloAndroid] ------------------------------
  [2010-12-16 10:23:33 - HelloAndroid] Android Launch!
  [2010-12-16 10:23:33 - HelloAndroid] adb is running normally.
  [2010-12-16 10:23:33 - HelloAndroid] Performing com.example.helloandroid.HelloAndroid activity launch
  [2010-12-16 10:23:33 - HelloAndroid] Automatic Target Mode: launching new emulator with compatible AVD 'AVD23'
  [2010-12-16 10:23:33 - HelloAndroid] Launching a new emulator with Virtual Device 'AVD23'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This problem doesn't happen on Windows XP, running Eclipse 3.5.2 and Android 2.2 (all 32-bit).</p>
  
  <p>I tried the solution suggested by the accepted answer in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2793956/android-emulator-wont-run-application-started-from-eclipse">this thread</a> but it didn't help. Task manager shows adb's Image Name as '<strong>adb.exe *32</strong>'. Perhaps there is a mismatch between the bitness of Eclipse+JDK (64-bit) and the Android emulator/SDK?</p>
  
  <p>Is Android development using <strong>64-bit JDK</strong> not possible (yet)?</p>
