I have been fighting this all day with no success. I have removed & re-installed the SDK multiple times, I've tried http:// and https://, I've cleared cache.. I'm at a loss.
I'm on W10 x64. My Android SDK Manager shows no System Images available for download at all. It shows everything else - all the platforms, documentation, etc. - but no images of ANY kind.
I have tried all the possible combinations of "New/Updates", "Installed", and "Obsolete" to no avail. I have run the SDK Manager as Administrator, and I am not getting any errors in the log (ie, some users reported "Connection refused" errors). By all accounts, everything works - but I have no images available.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance!!
I had the exact same issue, I do think it was definitely some server-side package thing - the images never showed up as options to select for installation, even after Android Studio was reinstalled twice and over two different machines.
For me, it was fixed by upgrading to Android Studio 2.1 when it came out, though I had to wait for that...

Sorry for posting here, I can't find any support for android studio. Tried posting on reddit but no one is there. If this is the wrong place then please point me to support.
The AVD manager is missing. It's not in the hotbar and it's not in the Tools menu. Just completely gone.
It's a fresh install on the pixelbook go. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling. I've installed on other chromebooks and it's showing there so have no idea what's going on.
And.. i need to rant a bit before i explode. To the android studio devs if your product is not working then please SAY SO. The amount of time, money, and effort I've wasted trying to get android studio working on a chromebook is insane. This has been the worst software experience of my life.. seriously, you guys need an award for how bad this is. In the three days and three chromebooks I've purchased trying to get this working I've ran into at LEAST 10 different issues and interestingly enough they are different for each chromebook / install.
Try using Linux, It will be more faster then windows.
Ideally it is advisable to use MAC.
And Yes,
Android Studio is heavy. It needs more processing and memory requirements than other development environments. But when you list out the features available it's nothing.
Use proper hardware for good experience.
For AVD find the screenshot.
check the highlighted part for device manager
Easiest way to press shift two time and search for device manager. I have submitted some more way to find device manager or AVD manager via toolbar et.
Ive started with android development today.
Im having difficulty creating a virtual divice
Ive done everything to the word that the android tutorial said.
But on creating a new device, the target only has one option. Android4.4W - API Level 20
This in turn renders the CPU/ABI to be greyed out. No System images installed for this target.
I went to the Android SDK Manager and had to manually add urls to download form.
Here they are:
My assumption would be that I need a ARM emulator (if you call it that), but I dont know the url to that and also, Im not 100% sure that that is the problem.
Got the answer. Why would this be the case. Installation problems?

I am currently a QA intern at an app publisher and I use the AVD to test apps on various Android platforms and hardware builds. I touch nothing else within the Android SDK, just launch the android exec through the terminal and go from there.
I installed and started using AVDs with no issue about a month ago, installed the Intel HAXM with no issue, etc. It randomly stopped working for me about two weeks ago and I've been struggling with it since then. I've deleted everything from the Android SDK and reinstalled several times, tried using adb to no avail, nothing. I haven't been using Eclipse to get to the AVD Manager, but even when I do it makes no difference.
I've run into a dead end after trying every potential solution I could find on the Internet. Help me before I go insane.
Also using a Retina MacBook Pro, not that I think that'd make a difference, but just incase.
I am going to put this up as an answer just because I really found it to be the best solution to all of my native AVD issues (my default AVD emulators would creep even on my faster machines). I downloaded genymotion and must say that I am a million times happier with the emulation. It is faster, smoother, has more options, it just makes the native AVD look even worse than it already does on its own. Even if genymotion isn't for you, I highly recommend looking into third party emulators. It will make QA, development, etc. with Android that much easier. Assuming ARM isn't required (don't think it does ARM emulation)
So i'm having awful trouble trying to get the Emulators in the Android SDK to start up. I can create the AVDs just fine, and then when hitting the 'start' button from the SDK Manager, bring up the small loading console window, indicating that the emulator is launching. However, after that, nothing happens!!
I have read many threads and posts with people having the same problem, maybe to do with the settings requiring too much memory, with some people waiting 30 minutes for the emulator to load!!
When trying to run the AVD emulator through terminal, I simply get a 'Bus Error' with no further indication of what could be going wrong...could it be a memory issue?
What I did to get where I am now:
Download the Android SDK package for Mac. I'm extracting the sdk only, not eclipse. I'm on Mac 10.6.8.
Install the SDK, and download the latest version of Android in the SDK Manager, along with default tools.
create a AVD and hit start.
window pops up to boot the emulator, that process is complete and window closes.
Nothing happens.
My knowledge of the sdk tools are very limited, all I want is to be able to do some testing...
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Actually, the simplest way to get emulators running right now is probably GenyMotion. They provide an interface, and pre-configured emulator images to make it pretty simple to get running.
This is not an endorsement (I use the standard ADT myself) but a lot of people find their tools useful.
Here is my suggestion: instead of using AVD, start using espresso and virtual remote android hardware emulator from Google servers - also known as android-test-kit. You will have the possibility to run and test you App on several different devices, without the need to spend money on actually all different devices for developing and testing purposes before releasing your Apps. You find further details here:
android-test-kit
Why Espresso
The 2 videos are somewhat long, but worth watching.
Taking this approach will solve your problem, save you money, and improve your productivity.
I run into the same issue on my mac 10.6 and it only works if i do
emulator64-x86 -avd my_android
Besides, my virtual device has to configured using x86 but not ARM
maybe this link can help you.
I know that there are several threads posted about this issue, however I believe my problem to be a bit different:
I had my Android emulator working without any problems (using Eclipse plugin). I could start the emulator, run applications, and those apps would be able to connect to my computers internet. I then updated the Android SDK's (as I wanted to try out my application on 2.2). Since the update, the emulator will not connect to the internet. If I go to the browser, the page will not be displayed. I have tried everything - reverting back to the 2.1 SDK, even completely reinstalling Eclipse + Android, and the issue still remains.
I know that I have no firewall/proxy type issues. What could be causing this? Does anyone have any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it...
Thanks!
The answer to my question:
Upgraded to SDK 2.3 - now no emulators have connectivity
should help
In particular "It doesn't seem to like systems that have 'obtain DNS automatically' set. I changed it to manual set to Norton's Public DNS and the emulator browser works straight off "
