AVD emulator launches but does not load new application

Issue

I'm developing my android app in Eclipse. I used to debug my android app with the AVD emulator and a real phone device as well. Lately I face the following problems when I try to work with the emulator:

When I issue "Run As" or "Debug As" Android Application, the AVD emulator launches but it does not load the latest version of the application. It keeps a previous version of it. The DDMS does not load the "Emulator device" in the Devices tab. Moreover, the Debug "Logcat" does not write anything.

When I work with the phone device everything is working properly. Any suggestions?

Some more info that may help: From the Manifest file: From the default.properties file: target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:12 AVD Emulator targe: Android 3.1 Google APIs Level 12

Solution

If your emulator properties have Snapshot option enabled, then uncheck it and rebuild your application after cleaning it. The emulator might be picking your old copy from snapshot.
