how to create a new AVD in eclipse?

Question

I have a problem in creating a new android virtual device in eclipse I have a window with this information needed : AVD name , Device , Target , CPU/ABI , Keyboard , Skin , Front Camera , Back Camera , Memory Options , Internal Storge , SD Card , Emulation Options , and an OK button .

Instead of the window which I see in the tutorials that needs just this info : Name , Target , CPU/ABI , SD Card , Snapshot , Skin , Hardware , and Create AVD button .

And in my window I don't know what is the device option should I select + what ever I selected the OK button never be available ! what should I do ? please help me , thank you .

Answer 1

another alternative is install ARM EABI system image from sdk of your respective android version,then restart eclipse.it will now allow you to click OK button.hope this helps you...

Answer 2

May be the following will help :

Then start the emulator

Answer 3

For me, the "OK" button was disabled because I had spaces in the AVD name. After removing the spaces from the name, the "OK" button was enabled.

Answer 4

They most probably have changed some AVD settings. As for your second question regarding what options you should select: Don't make a very tiny SD card. Anything above 100mb should work fine. As for target choose the android version you've downloaded a system image for using the SDK.

I don't understand what you mean by "not be available", but if its the OK button its because you have no target platform.

If you mean, that the emulator won't start up, give it some time. You can even put the emulator in snapshot mode so it will open right where it last left off, saving you time.

Answer 5

if u cant click the ok button,try running avd manager outside eclipse.it worked for me as i encountered very same problem...later choose that device from avd manager using eclipse.it will run the stimulator

Answer 6

If you want to create an AVD in Eclipse you need to do this:

1. Go to Window -> Android Virtual Device Manager
2. Then you need to give a name and select the platform that you want (Target option)
3. Then the button "Create AVD" activates.

The other options you can let them unmodified.
