I'm new to Android development and I'm currently going through some tutorials. When I setup a new Android Project in Eclipse, and select Windows -> Android SDK and AVD Manager, in Virtual Devices, the list of existing Android Virtual Devices is empty. Is it supposed to be?
From the pictures in the tutorial, it's pre-populated. Can I download these AVDs from somewhere, am I missing something here? Also, I'm developing this on my Macbook Pro.

Android Device Manager on Windows You use the Android Device Manager to create and configure Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) that run in the Android Emulator. Each AVD is an emulator configuration that simulates a physical Android device.
All applications and files that you have deployed to the Android emulator are stored in a file named userdata-qemu. img located in the C:\Users\<username>\. android\avd\<avd_name>.
From the Virtual tab of the Device Manager, you can perform the following operations on an existing AVD: To edit an AVD, click Edit this AVD and make your changes. To delete an AVD, click Menu and select Delete.
Is it supposed to be?
Yes.
From the pictures in the tutorial, it's pre-populated.
The second step of the Hello, World tutorial has you create an AVD.
Can I download these AVDs from somewhere, am I missing something here?
No, you create them on your machine using the SDK.
