Android Eclipse tips: switch between Automatic and manual target modes

In Eclipse and ADT, you can select launching your app automatically select suitable AVD/device, or manually select.

By default, a run configuration uses the automatic target mode in order to select an AVD/device. If your run configuration uses manual mode, then the "device chooser" is presented every time that your application is run, so that you can select which AVD/device to use.
