title: Deploy to emulator in Visual Studio
body: <p>I have been using Xamarin to develop some Android applications. I am now using Xamarin with Visual Studio and I have a question.</p>
  
  <p>My question is this... How do I deploy my app to the emulator? I have started the emulator, but am not sure how to do this in Visual Studio.</p>
  
  <p>May I please have some help?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have followed the steps on the page and the steps do not work.</p>
  
  <p>If I do this:
  Debug->Start Debugging, the following message appears:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Device: [A]-AndroidAPILevel17NonGoogle is either not running or not attached.
  
  Please attach an Android device, or select an emulator from the dropdown list to launch it.
  
  NOTE : Launching Android emulators can take a few minutes. Please be patient or use a real Android device, they are much quicker!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can start the emulator by doing the following:
  Tools->Open Android Emulator Manager
  and then selecting the emulator.</p>
  
  <p>However, once the emulator has started up, I am not sure how to deploy the application to the emulator.</p>
  
  <p>If I select:
  Debug->Start Debugging... nothing happens</p>
  
  <p>May I have some help please?</p>
