There is a new possible error for this one related to the latest Android Wear technology. I was trying to get an emulator started for the wear SDK in preparation for next week. The API level only supports it in the latest build of 4.4.2 KitKat.

So if you are using something such as the wearable, it starts the default off still in Eclipse as 2.3.3 Gingerbread. Be sure that your target matches the lowest possible supported target. For the wearables its the latest 19 KitKat.

I had to move the folders inside a folder named  default  to the android-   folder so Eclipse could see the images

I want to update this question with a screenshot of a recent Android Studio. It took a bit of poking around to find where to install new system images.

You get to the SDK Manager through one of two paths. Option 1. Tools > Android > SDK Manager Option 2. Android Studio > Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK (This is for Mac; adapt for others.)

In the pane "SDK Platforms," check the "Show Packages" box to see the system images.

Select the ones you want, click "Apply" and voilà!

This can happen when    You have multiple copies of the Android SDK installed on your machine   You may be updating the available images and devices for one copy of the Android SDK  and trying to debug or run your application in another    If you re using Eclipse  take a look at your  Preferences   Android   SDK Location   Make sure it s the path you expect  If not  change the path to point to where you think the Android SDK is installed  You don t have an Android device setup in your emulator as detailed in other answers on this page

I had the same problem while creating AVD with 4.2.2 images, I resolved it by doing the following :

Check if there exist a "default" folder in adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\system-images\android-17.
If it exists then move the contents(downloaded system images) of the "default" folder to adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\system-images\android-17.

Hope this helps.

Simply because  CPU ABI says  No system images installed for this target   You need to install system images   In the Android SDK Manager check that you have installed  ARM EABI v7a System Image   for each Android version from 4 0 and on you have to install a system image to be able to run a virtual device   In your case only ARM system image exsits  Android 4 2   If you were running an older version  Intel has provided System Images  Intel x86 ATOM   You can check on the internet to see the comparison in performance between both   In my case  see image below  I haven t installed a System Image for Android 4 2  whereas I have installed ARM and Intel System Images for 4 1 2  As long as I don t install the 4 2 System Image I would have the same problem as you   UPDATE   This recent article Speeding Up the Android Emaulator on Intel Architectures explains how to use install correctly the intel system images to speed up the emulator   EDIT FOLLOW UP  What I show in the picture is for Android 4 2  as it was the original question  but is true for every versions of Android   Of course  as  RedPlanet said   if you are developing for MIPS CPU devices you have to install the  MIPS System Image    Finally  as  SeanJA said  you have to restart eclipse to see the new installed images  But for me  I always restart a software which I updated to be sure it takes into account all the modifications  and I assume it is a good practice to do so
