I installed the Android SDK and also installed the ADT Plugin for Eclipse.
When I launched the AVD manager, I don't see a default API Level in it. I clicked on New and in the Create New AVD Window the Target is always Disabled. I am not able to start over because of this.
System Specifications:
Eclipse : 3.7
Android SDK is 20.1 or something i am not sure.
You have to open SDK Manager and install the android version apis.
See the screenshot.

I inadvertently accepted android studio's upgrade suggestion to 2.3 (canary), although I had always had it set to check for the developer channel, not canary, somehow that got switched. Now I no longer have a 'Launch Standalone SDK Manager' option in my 'SDK Manager' window.
I liked the standalone manager for various reasons, including that it suggested what needed to be downloaded and upgraded. The regular sdk manager lists a lot of things I expect I don't need like 'CMake', 'LLDB', 'Constraint Layout for Android', 'Solver for ConstraintLayout', 'Google Play APK Expansion Library' ('Google Play APK Expansion Library rev 3' is already installed, so do I need this too?), etc.
Is the standalone sdk manager unavailable for 2.3 canary 2, or is there something more I need to do to get it?
I also have updated to the Canary version 2.3 and I'm amazed that they took it away there.. but you can still start it via the SDK Manager.exe located in your sdk folder
C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Present:Today when i was trying to launch, the terminal says, The android command is no longer available.
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
Past:
I also face the problem after updating to Canary version 2.3 on my mac.. On Mac or Linux, open a terminal and navigate to the tools/ directory in the location where the Android SDK is installed, then execute android sdk
or for only mac user go to folder located in
/Users/your mac account name/Library/Android/sdk/tools
and double click android to Launch Standalone SDK Manager
My Advice: Stop Searching for Launch Standalone SDK Manager and get use to be of android studio SDK manager and just choose the Show Package Details for more detailed description like Launch Standalone SDK Manager.
With the 2.3 Canary update, when using SDK Manager.exe or tools/android.bat, no manager is opened. However tools/android.bat give a pretty good answer to why it is not working:
The "android" command is no longer available.
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use
tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat and tools\bin\avdmanager.bat
We can still use command-line tools, but no more standalone SDK manager.
Yes, "Launch Standalone SDK Manager" option in Android Studio V2.3 is not available, But you can still start it via SDK Manager.exe located in your sdk folder.
c:\Users\You_User_Account_Name\AppData\Local\Android\SDK Manager.exe
Enjoy Android Studio with new features.
I just received an official response from AOSP -
Project Member #1 uchid...#google.com
deprecated feature , please check latest stable version Android 2.3
The link is now gone, and it is intentional.
Yes the standalone sdk manager option is missing in Android Studio 2.3. Get yourself used to the sdk manager available in Android Studio settings.
Also if you are installing Android Studio from scratch, you will not be available to find Sdk Manager.exe from C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Android\sdk or anywhere you install it.
I have installed Android Studio and JDK1.8 on Mac OS. I followed the instructions and created a new application with API 15 as minimum sdk.
I tried to create an AVD from AVD manager to test my application by selecting create new virtual device->nexus 6->lollipop 22 armeabi_v7a android 5.1.1 as target. When I click finish, it takes me back to the first AVD manager screen without giving any errors and AVD is not created.
Where could be the problem?
First you need to download the SDKs you are interested in from Android Studio Tools menu -> Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager or from the menu bar.
Don't forget to install the intel x86 emulator accelerator haxm from the SDK Manager - this will speed up significantly your android virtual device.
Then proceed as you mentioned in your question.
You can find more information here.
EDIT : From the comments your OS X version is 10.7.5 and Android Studio runs on 10.8.5 so you either :
Update your OS X installation
Install Eclipse and use the ADT plugin from google on your current configuration.
I have an option grayed out that I must complete to progress with a project. It says that
No system images installed for this target.
This answer is for Eclipse, but I'm not sure if there's an Android Studio equivalent:
Unable to create Android Virtual Device
It is exactly the same answer. You need to download an image for the target SDK. So, open the SDK Manager and you will find a system image for the Android L API Level 20.
You can open the SDK Manager from the Tools Menu -> Android -> SDK Manager
You will see all Platform Tools, System Images, Documentation, etc. nested and grouped by API Level...including the Android L Preview
The Target Version you are selecting you have only installed platform files for this version you have need to install image of that version also.
You can check and install it through Android SDK manager.
Do the following steps:
Open Android SDK Manager. Check selected version and check "ARM EABI...." file for that version is installed or not. If not then install it and try again.
I have just installed Android SDK on my Ubuntu Device following this example:
http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/07/download-and-install-androidsdk-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
The example is for Android SDK version r20, but I set the version to r21 because that is the newest version. I had no problems there.
I updated the SDK and downloaded all the platforms I need to develop my apps.
But at the end of the example, it says to enter android in the terminal, and that command should open both the SDK manager and the AVD manager.
However, it only opens the SDK manager, and I can't seem to find out how to open the AVD manager using that command.
Is there a way to set the PATH variable so that it opens both the SDK manager AND the AVD manager?
Use android avd to open the AVD Manager.
Why my target option in eclipse is disabled? I cant select the target platform.
On the other hand the platform folder and adds-on are empty.
Plz any ideas?
After you have installed your SDK, you need to download all the platforms you need (like Android 1.5, Google API's, so on...)
Then you should create some virtual devices with some parameters (like screen size, sd card...). Then you should run the app over the platform you like.
I guess you need to install required platforms.
Eclipse > Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager > Available Packages ....
Encountered the same problem. The Android SDK archive does not come populated with a specific Android platform or Google add-on. We can use the SDK Manager to install or update SDK components such as platforms,tools, add-ons, and documentation. I used the eclipse tooling option path provided by the first answer. There is also a "SDK Manager.exe" file that can be used to download outside eclipse.
You need to install the complete API that you're working on.
Suppose, In my case I am working on Android 5.0 SDK Tools and I Froyo 2.2 for minimum SDK Verison support. So Now I have 2 SDK Tools Installed, Android 5.0 and Android 2.2.
To make them support as Target SDK, I need to install the complete package from Android SDK Manager.
In your case install the complete package of the respective API you're using. After installing, restart eclipse and then your Target Option will be enabled.
