AVD Manager - Cannot Create Android Virtual Device

Question

I just installed the Android Eclipse Plugin and the Android SDK from Google yesterday  I open the AVD Manager window by going to Window - gt  Android Virtual Device Manager  I then click  New  and am presented with the  Create new Android Virtual Device  AVD   window  The problem is  I can t get the  OK  button to not be greyed out  I choose Nexus 7 from  Device   I give the AVD a name  I choose  Android 4 2 API Level 17  as the target  And no matter what I do for the rest of the settings  the  OK  button continues to be greyed out  I am not presented with any errors  Any idea as to what I may be missing and why the window would not allow me to proceed by clicking  OK

Had the exact same trouble    loading the ARM EABI v7a System Image worked for me too  Thanks very much   I had previously seen on the Android SDK manager that a system image with the same name  ARM EABI v7a System Image  WAS installed on my system for a more recent SDK  Android 4 2   Consequently I thought it would negate the need to install the earlier Android 2 2 SDK ARM image  but apparently not

On Kubuntu 12 04  Eclipse Kepler  ADT installed  I experienced the same symptoms  The ARM EABI v7a System Image was already installed  The way out was to run the tool from the command line  then it did not complain  I guess a restart of eclipse could have done the trick but I am not sure any more if I tried dit or not

Try to create an AVD with the monitor bat in the tools-folder  that worked out for me

Another thing that tripped me up  the  Name  field must be a single word and must not have spaces

I had the same problem but now I got it  Check which API you are selecting and for that API version is CPU ABI available or not  If it s available then your work is done  Select the device according to the windows supporting it

If you have changed the SDK Path somehow it will not be able to find the SDKs you installed even though it is listing them fine   I solved by openig Android SDK Manager and in that dialog choosing the menu Tools -  Manage AVDs  And when you open Manage AVDs directly from the toolbar of Eclipse you should Refresh to see the AVD you created

If you are having AVD creation problems  just try to put it inside a new folder  eclipse  android sdk  avd  and then you just run it and it should work  Just open Eclipse in that folder and run as usual

First  make sure you don t have spaces  or other illegal characters like             etc  in the  AVD Name  field  Spaces broke it for me

You either haven t selected a CPU ABI target in the dropdown below the target  or you haven t installed a system image   Open your SDK manager and ensure that you ve installed ARM EABI v7a System Image under the Android 4 2 section

You need to open up your SDK Manager and make sure everything is installed  especially System Image  After that will be alright

Launching the AVD Manager from Visual Studio 2015 resolved this issue for me   I had  a lot of packages  all the required packages installed but hadn t used them for some time  amp  had issues detecting them in the SDK manager  I attempted all the solutions provided above to no avail  including running the AVD after running the monitor bat file in  android sdk tools    I then launched the AVD from VS in  Tools- Android- Android Emulator Manager  and it detected both  Google APIs Intel Atom x86   amp  the ARM EABI v7a system Images right off the bat   Target is set to API Level 23

I had trouble creating an AVD   Either    re-start eclipse after installing SDK versions from the SDK manager  or you should run the  AVD Manager exe  outside of Eclipse

I actually hit on this problem a week ago   The issue had to do with not using an updated Eclipse version of the Android SDK plugin with the latest version of the SDK   It was a fun problem overall  but it disappeared as soon as I updated it    I had even updated the AVD images and no luck   Apparently the old plugin cannot see the new image layout or something   This is for version 22 3 of the SDK

I had the same problem  although all required packages were installed  I closed down Eclipse  ran monitor bat in the  android-sdks tools  folder  opened the AVD Manager from there  and I was able the create virtual devices here
