Cannot create AVD - Eclipse, MAC OSX, Android 4.4.2

Question

I cannot create a new AVD in Eclipse on MAC OSX for testing.

Situation:

• I have installed System Images for Android 4.4.2.
• I have checked for update under "Help".
• I have checked the location for android SDK.
• I have installed older versions of Android with related system images.

When I try to create it just waits, when I click "OK". Nothing happens - even if I wait for minutes.

Any suggestions?!

Answer 1

This is a strange issue that I just encountered as well, here is my solution:

1) Start avd from command line:

1.1. Open Terminal

1.2. Use the cd command to navigate to the tools folder in the android SDK

--> cd <Path to Android SDK>/tools

1.3. type ./android avd

2) Create a new device in the device manager that just opened up

Answer 2

I got the same problem on MAC OSX, SDK 22.6, unable to create a new device up to 4.0

My answer is inspired from here:

Cannot create or edit Android Virtual Devices (AVD) from Eclipse, ADT 22.6 and https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=66661 and Eclipse can't create new AVD

I proceed like this: (1) launch avd from commandLine : android avd (2) Choose device definition then clone a new devices: e.g Galaxy nexus by google (3) Create a new device from the cloned device and set as target API 4.4.2, then (4) set the SD card size to 1000MiB, Click OK (5) Finally start the Emulator.

I tested, and it works.

Answer 3

Run AVD manager from terminal and then create AVD. To do this, cd to android sdk tools folder and run AVD manager with following command:

android avd

Answer 4

U can try create using AVDManager.exe on your android folder, not from inside eclipse.
