Android: How to use webcam in emulator?

I'm connecting a webcam to my emulator by setting the front camera to "webcam0" in the AVD Manager. When I start the emulator's camera application, I get the error

CameraService::connect X (pid 702) rejected (invalid cameraId 0).

Here's the relevant portion of the Android source code:

sp<ICamera> CameraService::connect(
    const sp<ICameraClient>& cameraClient, int cameraId) {

    int callingPid = getCallingPid();

    [...]

    if (cameraId < 0 || cameraId >= mNumberOfCameras) {
        LOGE("CameraService::connect X (pid %d) rejected (invalid cameraId %d).",
            callingPid, cameraId);
        return NULL;
    }

    [...]
}

The webcam has been correctly assigned an ID of 0 because there's only 1 camera. However, mNumberOfCameras is presumably still 0. This means that the camera is being registered by the emulator, but it hasn't bothered to update the number of connected cameras.

How can I connect a webcam so that it will be properly recognized by the emulator?

Edit: the command emulator -webcam-list -avd <name of your AVD> in \android-sdks\tools gives the result:

List of web cameras connected to the computer:
Camera `webcam0` is connected to device `AndroidEmulatorVC0` on channel 0 using pixel format `BGR4`

When I launch the webcam from Eclipse's AVD manager or using emulator -camera-front webcam0 -avd <name of your AVD>, I get the following window:

Edit 2: This seems to be a bug in the emulator. The suggested answer tells you what to do to set up the camera, but doesn't solve the problem for me. I ultimately solved it by using a laptop with a built-in webcam. Perhaps another USB webcam might have worked as well.

UPDATE

In Android Studio AVD:

1. Open AVD Manager:

2. Add/Edit AVD:

3. Click Advanced Settings in the bottom of the screen:

4. Set your camera of choice as the front/back cameras:

Follow the below steps in Eclipse.

1. Goto -> AVD Manager
2. Create/Edit the AVD.
3. Hardware > New:
4. Configures camera facing back
5. Click on the property value and choose = "webcam0".
6. Once done all the above the webcam should be connected. If it doesnt then you need to check your WebCam drivers.

I would suggest checking the drivers and updating them if required.
