You need to restart your ADB Connection. Open Command prompt(for windows)

/sdk/platform-tools> adb -kill server

Then Start adb server again

/sdk/platform-tools> adb -start server

Now talking about could not find a compatible AVD

Check your app compatible android version and create a virtual device accordingly or

1.Right click on project in project explorer in eclipse .
2.Go to Run -> Run Configurations -> Target Tab

Then choose Radio button

Always prompt to pick device .

Apply settings and you will be asked next time to choose the device.
