I'm running Juno and just beginning to learn Android programming on Mac, on the latest SDK, 4.2 (API 17), and when I try to create an AVD, and as you can see from the screenshot (actually never mind, as a new user I'm not allowed to post a screen shot), I can input my Title, I can also choose my device, but when I try to change the dropdown menus of the target and CPU/ABI options, they don't drop at all. Also, the typical hardware box in which you add and delete chosen hardware, is not present, maybe just because of the newer Eclipse version. Anyhow, why aren't these options given to me? Also, this ends up in me having an "OK" button still being grayed out. Thanks!
Firstly go to SDK manager plugin of Your eclipse/Android Studio and choose the API level for which you are going to create Android Virtual Device. And make sure that API's SDK Platform is installed. If SDK showing Not installed , then firstly download it.
After automatic Installation on Downloading completion. Restart your eclipse. Start your AVD plugin and then select the API for your AVD that you download.
Check this image, it showing that SDK platform for API 17 is installed. So we can create AVD of API 17. BUT we cant create AVD of API 16, because it is not installed yet.
Use SDK MANAGER to check if your .img files exist or not
try to check for eclipse updates
try to download another API like API 16 to see if it works or not

When creating an AVD in Android Studio, system images for API 14 and 15 are missing in the list (though I actually installed the corresponding SDK versions in the SDK manager).
I think this issue appeared since the upgrade to Android Studio 2.0.
How can I create an AVD for these API versions?
NOTE: This answer assumes that the API etc. are already correctly installed. The OP (and myself) were having the specific problem even when those prerequisites were done, but still couldn’t get the API to be available in the Virtual Device Manager when creating a new device.
SOLUTION: Manually create a new AVD via the Standalone SDK Manager (steps and screenshots below).
Mac
Open SDK Manager: Tools > Android > AVD Manager
Launch the Standalone SDK Manager by clicking the link at the bottom
In the SDK Manager, manually create a new AVD
Tools > Manage AVDs (stay on the Android Virtual Devices tab)
IMPORTANT: I had to click away from the Android SDK Manager window and go back before the menu options would work
Click ‘Create'
Click the ‘Target’ dropdown and you should see all your APIs (15 in my case)
Select whatever options you want for the rest of the settings and click ‘OK’
Click ‘OK' on the next confirmation window
You should then see your device with the API you wanted in the AVD Manager.
Yesterday I upgrade android studio to 2.0 and now I can't find api 15 image to create new emulator?
I was having the same problem (have API 15 installed but it won't show up in the list) and the solution was to manually create a new AVD via the Standalone SDK Manager
Please see my detailed post here:
Manually create a new AVD via the Standalone SDK Manager
My solution for 25.01.2017
go to android sdk folder
go to tools folder
open old SDK Manager by double-click android.bat
(make sure api 15 is installed)
on top menu of window, click on Tools>Manage AVDs
create here Your device and set target.
open Android Studio, open window with list of devices and refresh
In this example, device will not have skin. You might want to use one from the list.
Memory is a bit small, maybe 2048 would be better. After creation of AVD image, list of devices in Android Studio will have opportunity to edit created device and set bigger ram.
run Android SDK Manager
install API 15 (check android 4.0.3)
I want to run in Emulator a System Image with Google APIs installed. I downloaded the System Images for API Version 19 (among others). When I go to start a new AVD in Android Studio, for API = 19 - I am not seeing the image with Google APIs. It should be there because I did download it using the SDK Manager (see screen clippings below).
Am I missing something?
See below screen in AVD Manager showing that the Kitkat does not have an image with Google APIs.
Please try the following solution it's work for me.
If you can not find system image in Android Studio in emulator then go to your Android-SDK you are using in your Android Studio like C:\Users\MB\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\android-sdk and open AVD Manager.
After open AVD Manager create new AVD and start this newly created AVD.
This AVD is available in your Deployment target and also in your Android Studio AVD manager when you will open AVD Manager next time.
Also, check screenshot for it.
Unfortunately seems there is an issue with the displayed target for the KitKat's system images. It's definitely possible to create an AVD with API 19 and Google APIs as you can see in this screenshot:
To create an AVD with API 19 and Google APIs be sure to select the system image with the Android version 4.4 Google Inc.
If you instead select the system image with the Android version 4.4 Android Open Source Project a standard AVD without Google API will be created.
Just update all the packages in the SDK manager and restart. It worked for me.
Go to AVD manager and there in action column click on download.
I want Android Studio Emulator to run a previous Android version to test web pages. How can I download or make changes in the Android Studio to make the Emulator run 4.4 and not Lollipop?
Step 1: Install KitKal 4.4 SDK Platform from SDK Manager
Step 2: Open AVD Manager (Create or Edit emulator)
Step 3: Change API level
First of all you need to download the SDK version you wish to run your application on trough the SDK manager.
Assuming you have already done that you simply need to create your own new virtual device trough the AVD manager.
From there on out it's very clear what you have to do.
If you still have problems you can consult:
http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/managing-avds.html
Look at the following screenshot:
The third icon is the SDK Manager where you can download the system images to build AVD, the fourth icon is where you can create new AVD.
Personally i recommend you to download Genymotion which uses VirtualBox to run Android virtual device and it's very much faster than the standard emulator.
You can open SDK Manager From
and select API leve from list
click Install XX packages button,
hope can help you
I have a windows 7 machine.I am trying to create a new AVD in android studio.I have all the options set accordingly.but still the ok button does not become valid.please help
Make sure that you have both selected target and device installed on your Android SDK, and make sure you selected a valid Skin for that device.
Do you have any error shown for this device? On my screenshot I have no CPU/ABI installed for the given Api-Level 19 and the option is greyed. In this case you have to install an ARM for the chosen api level in the android sdk manager.
