I've just installed the Android SDK & Eclipse. I created the first simple app. The problem I have is that the Android Virtual Device (AVD) Manager does not have the New button as indicated on this page.
I do have the Create button. I tried to create a virtual device but after I filled in all the selections the OK button was still grayed out. The problem is that I cannot create a virtual device. Does any know why the New button is not available?
There Will Be Create button because you are creating First AVD...
After you create one AVD then there will be New Button......
While Creating AVD... make sure that you have filled all fields with valid information.....
then OK button will be ENABLED to use...
Follow this image for filling data For AVD...
This may help you...
There are two tabs in the AVD Manager. Android Virtual Devices is the tab with all the emulators you have created and can launch to test Android apps on & Device Definitions is the tab where you can create new definitions for devices.
You can create new device definitions for devices under the Device Definitions tab using the New Device option. You may then choose to use the said definition or an existing definition and create a new emulator using the Create AVD option under the Device Definitions tab or the New option under the Android Virtual Devices tab.
That said, it'd be helpful to understand the problem if you could provide screenshots of it.

I am new to android development, I want to know how can we add Samsung galaxy devices/skin into my emulator?
I can able to add skins of Samsung galaxy but can't see in AVD manager.
I need help to understand this.
Steps to add new skin into your Android Emulator:
Need to download the skin of your desired device, Recommended URL https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy-emulator-skin/galaxy_note_series.html to download
Then unzip this downloaded file, Now copy and paste this to /Users/YourUserName/Library/Android/sdk/platforms/android-29/skins
Launch android studio and open AVD manager
Now we need to add a device definition for that recently added skin
In AVD manager click to this create virtual device option
Now you will see the an option for New Hardware Profile option at the bottom left of this popup.
Click to this New Hardware Profile, you will get a popup for Configure Hardware Profile. Add device and device type then scroll down and you will find an option for Default skin dropdown, Choose your newly added skin
Afterwards press this finish button at the right bottom and you are done with device definition configuration.
Now you can create your own virtual device with this newly added device definition.
I found this answer: "Start ICS emulator without Menu button" but the "hardware" properties list doesn't exist in the latest AVD manager GUI (v21.1).
How to create an ICS emulator without menu button in the latest version (21.1) of AVD manager ?
In the new-version UI, you must go to the Device Definitions tab (inside the Android Virtual Device Manager window) to configure the virtual hardware. Once you've set up a device definition the way you like it, you can Create AVD... from that definition.
You need to create a new device under "device definitions", there you can set several settings. Then create an avd based on your custom device.
Hi I have a Android application that I am trying to run on a tablet in eclipse. However, when I run it I can only open it in a phone view. I went to the properties and changed it to Android 3.1 but that did not fix the problem. Does anyone know the fix here? Thanks
If you mean that you need the emulator to show such kind of display, just change the kind of display you need. Go to the AVD manager and create a new virtual device:
Eclipse: Window -> AVD manager -> new
Choose appropriate Android version. Then for the display choose appropriate skin (e.g. WXGA, which is tablet). After you create this virtual device, you can run your code against it. If the device is still run in portrait mode, you can always flip it using ctl + f12 to landscape.
I am running a performance test for my android application, want to know whether it is possible to run multiple emulators at once in Eclipse?
If yes, how do i go about doing it?
Create multiple emulators
Change android project run configuration, target as manual selection instead of auto.
Right click on android project -> Run As -> Run Configuration.
On Run configuration window select the project under Android application [at right panel]
Then select Target tab at left panel, and select manual option. that all..
Now whenever you run that selected project, the eclipse will pop up the window with list of running emulators and devices..
To run more than one emulator
1. Open AVD manager
2. select emulator
3. click on start -> launch
You can run multiple emulators by just calling run again, then in the panel "Android Device Chooser" you can choose another Android Virtual Device. To add new Android Virtual Devices to your Android virtual device manager, just click the device manager button on the bar at the top of eclipse, then in the next screen click new and create a new virtual device. The virtual devices go kind of slowly if there are many of them, but you can use multiple emulators this way.
Open AVD Manager. Create multiple AVD/emulator and run them.
