how to create a new AVD in eclipse? - android

I have a problem in creating a new android virtual device in eclipse I have a window with this information needed :
AVD name ,
Device ,
Target ,
CPU/ABI ,
Keyboard ,
Skin ,
Front Camera ,
Back Camera ,
Memory Options ,
Internal Storge ,
SD Card ,
Emulation Options ,
and an OK button .
Instead of the window which I see in the tutorials that needs just this info :
Name ,
Target ,
CPU/ABI ,
SD Card ,
Snapshot ,
Skin ,
Hardware ,
and Create AVD button .
And in my window I don't know what is the device option should I select + what ever I selected the OK button never be available ! what should I do ?
please help me , thank you .

May be the following will help :
Then start the emulator

Try to create an AVD with the monitor.bat in the tools-folder, that worked out for me!

They most probably have changed some AVD settings. As for your second question regarding what options you should select: Don't make a very tiny SD card. Anything above 100mb should work fine. As for target choose the android version you've downloaded a system image for using the SDK.
I don't understand what you mean by "not be available", but if its the OK button its because you have no target platform.
If you mean, that the emulator won't start up, give it some time. You can even put the emulator in snapshot mode so it will open right where it last left off, saving you time.

Try Window -> Android SDK Manager.
update your Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform-tools to the latest version

if u cant click the ok button,try running avd manager outside eclipse.it worked for me as i encountered very same problem...later choose that device from avd manager using eclipse.it will run the stimulator

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 you can let them unmodified.

another alternative is install ARM EABI system image from sdk of your respective android version,then restart eclipse.it will now allow you to click OK button.hope this helps you...

add ADT to your Eclipse Project and click on avd icon in IDE to open avd manager then create a new device and also new virtual devices

For me, the "OK" button was disabled because I had spaces in the AVD name. After removing the spaces from the name, the "OK" button was enabled.

Android Studio: AVD options give the error "The skin directory does not point to a valid skin", but only when editing the virtual device

In Android Studio (Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Patch 1), the initial creation and subsequent launch of a new virtual device in the emulator completes without any issues and the device frame shows properly. However, when opting to edit the virtual device, an error pops up briefly at the bottom of the window saying, "The skin directory does not point to a valid skin," and the Enable Device Frame option becomes un-ticked. If you cancel out of the Android Device Configuration window, the skin will still load correctly. If you check the Enable Device Frame checkbox and select the Finish button, the emulator will load without a skin. Going back to the device's option page shows that the Enable Device Frame checkbox has once again become un-ticked. Is this a bug and/or is there a workaround to this? I want to boot from a particular snapshot each time the emulator loads, but cannot do that without accessing the option page (whereby the skin will disappear once I finalize my option selection.)
I had this problem, I discovered I didn't have the SDK version downloaded for the version I had selected in AVD.
To solve in Android Studio Select: Tools > SDK Manager
Then check you have downloaded the SDK for the android version you are trying to use in AVD
I had the same issue when creating a new AVD:
Click "Show Advanced Settings"
Set "Custom skin definition" to "No Skin"
Error is gone
I had the same issue.
Create a new device.
Compare the config.ini files between the two.
I found mine in C:\Users\USER\.android\avd\Pixel_4_API_30.avd\
Edit accordingly.
Restart.

Unable to turn on "Snapshot" in Android Studio AVD Manager & save it

Android Studio 2.1.3 on Windows 10 64 bit.
I go to Tools->Android->AVD Manager.
It shows me an error "Android Virtual Device" failed to load - click Details to see the error.
When I click Details, it does not show any error.
When I click on Edit & try to turn of "Host GPU" & turn on "Snapshot" option, the OK button remains grayed out - so I cannot save the Snapshot Option.
The emulator itself runs fine - however, how do I turn on the Snapshot option.
Try going to your SDK manager and making sure everything is updated. Your options are slightly different and I believe it's because you are using an older version.
They now have the Emulator Accelerator. You can also select to run off of your hardware and choose the number of Cores from your CPU to assign to the virtual device.

Can't create AVD - "OK" button disabled- Eclipse Android Project

I am trying to create AVD from last two days. I have referred the following links:
The "OK" button is deactivated in creating new AVD
AVD cannot be created Ok is disabled
Can't Create Android Virtual Device. OK Button disabled
Android Studio: “Ok” button disabled in “Create new AVD” window
I have all the required file for creating AVD but still theOK button is disabled. I have installed the following list from Android SDK Manager
Now where I have done mistake?? Is there any other thing which I need to install or delete file(s) to create AVD?
Restart PC and again try to create AVD by following this instruction:
Select Galaxy Nexus in Device
Select ARM(armeabli-v7a) in CPU/ABI
Uncheck Use Host GPU
This works fine for me. Hope this help you as well
This problem comes usually when
Your CPU/ARM field is not supported. Try changing this field and check

Can't Create Android Virtual Device. OK Button disabled

I can't create a new AVD in Eclipse. I've tried doing it using the AVD Manager.exe (basically out of Eclipse) and as you can see I have CPU/ABI options yet no matter what I do the OK button is disabled
By default the "skin" option is left blank. In order to create an emulator, you'll need to choose one.

Use same android emulator every time

I have started a new emulator from 'launch new emulator' . But when I run another project later another emulator is getting loaded . Actually I wanted to use the same emulator itself.I there any option to reuse the same emulator and prevent new emulator being launched automatically.
Instead of Run use Run>Run Configurations>Target>Manual and manually select the AVD that is already launched.
I often have this problem when i both have the physical device( a real phone) plugged in the pc and an emulator. You can put the devices list near the console and logcat views, so you can select here the right device to use (install the app and show the logcat).
Go in window -> show view -> other -> devices.
From there you can select which device to use (if nothing is selected, a new emulator is run following the target option you set following Mangusto's answer)
You can select the emulator that you wish to make default from windows->android sdk manager->
edit the virtual device from that you can select skin you want. or set the dimension.
I think this can help you
Go to Run > Edit Configurations, choose your run configuration on the left side, check Use same device for future launches checkbox.
