I'm trying to download the system images for the android emulator for the apis 11,12,13 but on sdk manager there is no option to download them. Any ideas?
This keeps popping up :)
Up to API level 14 (4.0) system images were not a separate item but part of "SDK Platform". Install "SDK Platform" for api levels you need and you will get system images.

Anytime I select a target for Google APIs it tells me there are no system images available. I have completely removed and reinstalled every available option in SDK manager. For the API Level I am trying to use, I have every available image installed. Also I have tried copying the images out of the default folder as suggested by another question's answer and restarting visual studio.
AVD Manager
SDK Manager
Solved the issue by selecting a standard api lvel target (non google apis) and then for CPU select one that included google apis. Was following this tutorial on Xamarin that told me to select the target with google apis, but apparently that does not work properly.
Google's Android SDK Installer (that Xamarin runs during the base install), does not install system images for each API due to their size (1+GB each).
Open the Android SDK Manager and select/install which versions you want, they are available by API-level.
Note: For HAXM acceleration to function you need the x86 / x86_64 based images, ARM versions will run, BUT very slowly...
Note: The Images whose names start with "Google APIs ...." have Google Apps pre-installed.
I am using ADT bundle to create android apps. I am only able to create AVD with api level 19. I want to create AVD with lower api, say api 10 and test the app. I guess system-images of lower api has to be installed to created AVD with lower api. In SDK manager , however, I cannot find system-images except for api 19. I might have deleted them by mistakes earlier. How to bring them back or is there any way to create AVD with lower api ?
Just install SDK of the corresponding API and restart the eclipse in the ADT bundle. Now, you can see the updated dropdown in the target field.
"Failed to find an AVD compatible with target 'Google APIs"
Will this mean that I need to download all APIs in sdk so that the AVD can play all applications sourced from different APIs?
Note : Downloading Higher API level SDK doesn't include Lower level SDKs
For Different API level testing you need to download Different SDK for Different Levles...
but in your case..
If you have already downloaded API 19 SDK you just have to select API Plateform for your project from project property..
For that.. Right Click on your Project->Properties->select Android->Select Android 4.4.2 (API 19 plateform) and then click on OK...
hope this helps..
I am not able to see the honeycomb image available for download in SDK Manager. I am running Windows 7 x86.
Any ideas ?
Just download the "SDK Platform" for Honeycomb. It includes the ARM system image.
Apparently it's only for newer API levels that the downloads are separate.
I am new to android development, and I am trying to create an AVD for testing an app before pushing it to my phone (htc desire running android 2.3.5).
I am using the ADT bundle, and with SDK manager I have downloaded these:
4.2.2 (API 17)
4.1.2 (API 16)
2.3.3 (API 10)
2.2 (API 8)
But when trying to select target of the AVD, the only available options are API 17,16 and 8.
What is wrong?
Update:
I've already tried deleting and redownloading the API and it shows up in the android-sdk/platforms dir.
Restart eclipse after install packages i also have same problem and after restart eclipse i got all api levels in drop down list
I had the same problem because I had downloaded the sdk twice and my SDK manager kept updating first SDK while my IDE was working with the other one. SO check the preferences of your IDE and see if it points to the correct one. (in Eclipse go to windows> preferences> SDK location)
For Android 2.3.3, there will be three entries of relevance in the SDK Manager:
"SDK Platform", which for older API levels like 10 will contain the ARM emulator image
"Google APIs", which will contain an emulator image that has Google Maps in it
"Intel Atom x86 System Image", which will contain an emulator image that runs x86 opcodes instead of ARM opcodes (and, with the proper setup of your development machine, can run the emulator much faster)
If you install one or more of these, you should get API Level 10 appearing an an option for setting up an AVD.
If that does not work, you might consider editing your question and posting screenshots of your SDK Manager (specifically the 2.3.3 portion) and the AVD Manager (specifically your drop-down of available API levels).
Try updating the 2.3.3 API.
And you can also try to use BlueStacks if you wish to first test your app before trying it on your device.
Delete that api from SDK Manager and download it again.
