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'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.
I'd like to use necessitas to develop a simply app. When I run the app, the emulator starts and everything works fine. But I want it to start on my Android device (Android Version 4.1.1) which requires to use API Level 16.
Now for some reason I cannot create a AVD with the message "no system images installed for this target". The "OK" but turns grey as soon as I select a API Level higher than 13.
But in the SDK Manager I have selected and installed it I I have seen a corresponding directory.
I have the same problem for API Levels 14,15 and 17.
I had the same problem and fixed it by updating SDK to the newest one.
Run "android-sdk/tools/android" from your necessitas (it should open SDK Manager window)
Update "Android SDK Tools"
Re-run "android-sdk/tools/android"
Install "ARM EABI v7a System Image" for API levels 14,15,17
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.
I've to work in an environment which has no internet connection due to security reasons. I've downloaded the latest APIs and following the steps in the below answer, have them in my
..\adt-bundle-windows-x86\adt-bundle-windows-x86\sdk\platforms
Update Android SDK manager without Internet Connection but by earlier downloading for another SDK
Altough, I can see the APIs in the SDK Manager as installed, when I go to the AVD Manager they don't show up in the target.
Only the Android 4.2 API (which came preinstalled with the ADT/Eclipse bundle (Android Developer Tools) shows up. But one thing I noted was that in the SDK Manager, it had two files (SDK Platform and ARM EABI v7a System Image) while others had only the SDK Platform file.
Please advise.
Have you restarted Eclipse after downloading the APIs? :)
Yesterday I've updated Android SDK to rev 18, but there's only ARM EABI v7a system image for API level 14 & 15, while in this tutorial they say I could use x86-based system image for better & smoother performance of emulator. I've check in sdk-folder\tool\ and "emulator-86.exe" also exists, but no x86 AVD created to run with this. I also install HAXM and it works fine in my machine. In GUI AVD creation, the CPU/ABI dropdown box also be disabled for every API level.
So where I could find and use x86 based system image for my Android SDK? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
You can also download images for use with HAXM and the emulator direct from Intel's website. The current one at this link is API 19 (4.4).
15 is the current top API level. Only the SDK Tools and the plugin have a revision level of 18. In Windows systems you will find your AVDs below: \users\you\.android\avd
