Android Build Target cant be selected in eclipse

Question

I followed these tutorials to set up a Hello World Android app. But when I create a new java project I can't select a build target. It just says no targets available in the target selection box. I have confirmed that I am not having the UI issue described here (http://blog.rowancrane.com/2009/12/27/eclipse-new-android-project-cant-select-build-type-target), I actually have a message in the box saying there are no targets instead of an empty box. I also am using 1920x1080 res.

I'm guessing that eclipse is just not aware of my Android Targets? I installed them in the android SDK manager and see them listed under installed packages in the Android SDK manager (1.1, 1.6, ..., 2.2)

Any suggestions on how I can create the project and get started? Thanks in advance

Now you should be able to select a target.

Please make sure that at least one version of Android SDK is installed. To check this, go to window > Android SDK Manager.
