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

in Eclipse, I have installed the latest version Android 5.0.1(API 21) and created an AVD. However to test backward compatibility I need to create an AVD for older Android 4.0 (API 14), which is also installed in Eclipse. However, when go open Andriod AVD Manager and say create, in the Target pulldown menu, I do not see Android 4.0 (API 14) and therefore unable to create a AVD to support Android 4.0 (API 14). Can someone tell me how to do this please?
check whether Google API 14 in installed on your device.
Click Android SDK Manager, u can see SDK Manager, u can see Android 4.0(API 14) u can see Google APIs should be installed then only u can install the AVD otherwise u cannot create a AVD
If you want to create an AVD in Eclipse you need to do this:
Go to Window -> Android Virtual Device Manager
Then you need to give a name and select the platform that you want (Target option)
Then the button "Create AVD" activates.
The other options modify if u need
You can do following steps:
1. Open SDK Manager as this screen:
You must install SDK, Arm system image or Intel system image whose version as you need (mine is 21 and you is 14) for run emulator
2. Open AVD Manager and click "Create"
3. enter name, choose target and other properties. Then you have your emulator
Hope this help! And dont foget to mark this is answer if you archived your goal!
Using Eclipse, trying to create a new virtual device to test app on older Android versions, but when I go to create a new Android Virtual Device I only get one option - 4.4.2 API Level 19. How do I get other versions to show here? Last night I was a bit tired and tried to if using the SDK Manager to grab 4.0.3 SDK and Google API would work to test on older version, but it seemed to mess up Eclipse as I got an ADT needs update error (which would find no updates). So starting back from scratch and figured I'd ask instead of trial and error. Thanks!
Open the Android SD Manager, check Show: Updates/New
Select SDK Platform and ARM EABI v7a System Image (also Google APIs if you are unsing them) for all Versions you want to test and download them. You need the source of the Android-Version to create an AVD for it.
Updating your Android SDK build-tools and Android SDK Platform-tools is always recommanded because newer Android versions need a newer build tool setup.
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? :)
Below is my current setup in my PC.
Eclise Indigo
Android SDK Platform - API 15
ADT version 18
I developed a simple android application, and was able to succesffully launch it in emulator and android phone. I need to test with galaxy tablet emulator. I found GALAXY Tab Android API 8 in Android SKD Manager. When I choose to install I'm prompted with a message "Missing SDK Platform Android, API 8". My questions are:
Where can I download Android sdk api 8?
Can api versions 15 and 8 coexist?
Can I get api 8 version etup within eclipse?
How do make this version as one of the target in the AVD Manager?
Please advise.
Open up your "SDK Manager" through your start menu, and once the SDK Manager has loaded select the Package "Android 2.2 (API 8)" and click the button in the lower right "Install Packages."
If you want to access the SDK Manager through Eclipse go to the "Window" tab at the top and then you should see the option "Android SDK Manager," click on that and follow the same steps as outlined above.
As far as your question "Can api versions 15 and 8 coexist," the answer is yes.
