I have downloaded Android 4.4 (KITKAT). There is an android-19 system image in folder called system-images in android installed location in my pc.
I need to use this Android 4.4 system image to test my app on the Android emulator.
How can I use this ? How can I create an AVD using this ?
Finally I am able to run AVD with android-19.
Previously I was edit the existing AVD and changed Target to Android 4.4 - API Level 19. It's not loaded the AVD.
Now I created a new AVD with Target Android 4.4 - API Level 19. It takes a few minutes to display the android kitkat home screen. But it worked as charm.

As the title says, I have tried to create an Android 10 emulator, when trying to start the emulator nothing happens, only the phone appears on the screen but the device screen remains black, I do not get any error, I have waited but nothing ever happens. When I touch the close button I get "The emulator process for AVD Pixel_4_API_29 was killed"
I have tried deleting the image and downloading it again, installing the image on Pixel 1, 2, 3 and 4, run emulator with -writable-system, increase RAM, cold boot... unsuccessfully.
I have the rest of the emulators installed (from API 16 to API 30) working fine
The image I downloaded from Android Studio is located at "C:\Users\PCDELL\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\system-images\android-29\google_apis_playstore\x86"
Upgrade
I tried with:
API 29 x86_64 (Google Play)
API 29 x86 (Google APIs)
API 29 x86_64 (Google APIs)
API 29 x86_64 (Android Open Source Project)
The result is the same
After many tests the only thing that worked for me was:
Uninstall Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) version v7.7.0
Enter https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases and download HAXM v7.4.1
Install HAXM v7.4.1
I suppose that a not so old version could work but I went to the extremes and downloaded the oldest one from the link
*I have the latest version of Android Studio (4.2.2) and also the latest version of the emulator (30.7.5)
after multi tries i backed to version 30.7.4 and it worked fine
down it from this link
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-windows_x64-7453540.zip
and extract it in sdk folder after deleting old emulator folder
another workaround
create text file and insert this two lines in it
Vulkan = off
GLDirectMem = on
save it in .android path like
C:\Users\Sherif.android
don't forget to change the extension to .ini
If you are not forced to use specifically Pixel 4 with API 30, then what worked for me was going down to Pixel2 API 30.
I know this is not much help if you are looking for a specific device but ...
I've just upgraded the Android Support libraries and thus the minimum version of the OS required for me Xamarin Forms app and now want to test it on some devices. I can run it on my phone just fine but wanted to create an Android 7.1.1 (API 25) or Android 8.0.0 (API 26) emulator to test on.
However when I go to create a new AVD, I get the message
No System Images installed for this target
So I flip over in to the SDK manager, but there are no system images available:
So my question is, where and how do I get these system images? Or am I just not able to create AVD's for these API versions for some reason?
I've tried adding new sources, including this one:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/android/sys-img2-1.xml
But it hasn't made any difference. Do I need different sources for later API versions?
No System Images installed for this target
Check your SDK Update sites, make sure that it contains these entries:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/android/sys-img.xml
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/google_apis/sys-img.xml
Then, start SDK Manager as Administrator again, download the API 25 and API 26 system image if they are listed.
After download the system image, you could create an Android 7.1.1 (API 25) or Android 8.0.0 (API 26) emulator.
I started with android studio and while I try to create a new device the AVD manager showing only one target i,e 4.2.2 as shown in the following figure. But in eclipse it is showing all the options.
. How to create a new emulator the target 2.3.3.
Because both SDK folders are separately located. If you look close you will see that there is an SDK folder inside the Android Studio installation. The target OS directly loaded from this location.
To show additional options in the target dropdown list, e.g. Android 2.2 (API Level 8) and Android 4.0 (API Level 14), you need to download those versions through SDK Manager first.
Only you download those SDK versions like 2.2 and 4.0, then they will show up as options in AVD Manager for you to create new devices of those versions.
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 am newbie to android. I working on my HELLO WORLD project. Initially I had AVD which looks like
Then something went wrong so I deleted all Android stuff from Eclipse (except my project) then I added all things again to my Eclipse.
So now I have:
1) Android SDK tools , revison 12
2) Android SDK platform-tools,revision 6
3) SDK platform Android 3.2,API 13,revision 1
Now I got a new emulator which looks like a tablet emulator .
So my questions are
1) How can I get the previous emulator as Image 1 ( which looks like phone not tablet) ?
2) I am also getting error "Unable to resolve target Android-8". Why it is ? and how to get rid of it ?
Answers to your questions:
Ad 1) You need to install SDK platform for Android 1.x/2.x, Android 3.0 is dedicated to tablets so there will be no phone-like emulator,
Ad 2) Android-8 means Android API Level 8, this means Android SDK version 2.2.x. so you will need to install SDK for Android 2.2.x from the Android SDK Manager
More about Android API levels can be found here: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/api-levels.html
1.when creating avd you are selecting target.If you select target 2.1,2.2..You will see the first emulator and for the later one your are selecting taget 3.2 . So it looks like this.
2.You are importing/creating project from previous one whose target was api level 8.Now you are trying to run it in avd which is some other.So in manifest file set minSDK as your new avd
With the SDK manager, you have to create a new virtual device. For this virtual device you will set the Android version of your device (must be < 3 to have the "old" look).
It is simple
1) Create AVD
2) While creating if u want to develop for smart phone, select the target version <= 2.3 (Which will get you the keyboard)
3) While creating if u want to develop for tablet, select the target version as >= 3.0, which will get you the big pad emulator with no keypad.
Note: From Icecream sandwidch onwards the version is for both Smart phones and Tablets.

You need to create new AVD with the target that you need,or edit the settings of the AVD that you are using now.
In Eclipse go to menu : Window -> Android SDK and AVD Manager and you will see a list of your AVD(if you have more than one).And after that you can select the one that you have,and press edit with changing the target to 1.5 and upper version or create a new one pressing button New.
