Hi I am follwing below steps for remote webdriver - Android

Step 1: Create Avd 
Step2: adb -s emulator-5554 -e install -r  android-server-2.32.0.apk
Step3:adb -s emulator-5554 shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.openqa.selenium.android.app/.MainActivity
Step4: adb -s emulator-5554  forward tcp:4723 tcp:8080

WebDriver is ready in Emulator....

Step5: Launch Selenium Server
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.37.0.jar -port 4444 -role hub -nodeTimeout 600

Step6: Create Node.config file. 
{
  "capabilities":
      [
        {
          "browserName": "android",
          "version":"4.3",
          "maxInstances": 1,
      "platform": "WINDOWS",
        }
      ],
  "configuration":
  {
    'registerCycle': 5000, 
     'hub': 'http://localhost:4444/grid/register', 
      'host': 'localhost', 
      'proxy': 'org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy', 
      'maxSession': 1, 
     'port': 4723, 
     'hubPort': 4444, 
    'hubHost': 'localhost', 
    'url': 'http://localhost:4723', 
    'remoteHost': 'http://localhost:4723', 
    'register': true, 
    'role': 'node'    
 }
}

Step 7: java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.37.0.jar -role node -nodeConfig defaultNodeConfig.json

Step 8:http://localhost:4444/grid/console ----> Could able to see below items:
DefaultRemoteProxy (version : 2.37.0)
id : http://127.0.0.1:4723, OS : WINDOWS
BrowsersConfigurationWebDriver v:4.3 

Step 9: http://127.0.0.1:4724/wd/hub/static/resource/hub.html
I could see two button one start session and other refresh session
upon clicking start session.... displays with popup to select browser. I have selected
"Android" (or) run remote webdriver class file in eclipse

Step10:Node command window displays with below error

work around is to use an older API level for your emulator (I believe 8 or 15 works)

Selenium project no longer supports the AndroidDriver.

Please use Selendroid instead:
http://selendroid.io/webview.html

And log any issues against that project:
