Android - Can't create new v4.0 AVD - android

I've made a fresh eclipse reinstall + Android SDK v4.0. I am trying to create a new 4.0 AVD and getting this error:
[2011-10-21 11:36:38 - SDK Manager] Unable to find a 'userdata.img' file for ABI armeabi to copy into the AVD folder.
Reading How to create an AVD for Android 4.0, I checked SDK manager and I have 'ARM EABI v7a System Image' installed. to be on the save side I un-installed and reinstalled it.
I also copied 'C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-13\images' into 'C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-14'
Still getting the same error. I have no problems creating 2.1 AVD.
Note: I'm running Win XP
Issue fixed itself after restarting the PC.

THis worked

Apparently the location of the image file changed recently.
Basically, in eclipse, go to run/debugconfig/android app/new config/target/automatic(yes, reclick it)/manage and then follow the sdk manager reinstall methods.
I'm in the middle of it now and this report is somewhat from memory since the download is occurring as I type this. OK, it worked to get the AVD in. Hello World is next ! :)

If you have installed the Android SDK provided by google and once again via Eclipse you install the SDK while configuring ADT plugin. System wont recognize the first installation.
There for as "user1123966" said you can solve it
OR by going to Windows-> preferences -> android-> and change the SDK location to the First Installation.
I would recommend you to go for first option and uninstall the first installation.

Issue resolved after restarting my machine.

The location of userdata.img changed in more recent versions of the Android SDK and Eclipse hasn't been adjusted to accomodate it yet. Here's what worked for me:
Within your Android SDK folder, take all the files from system-images/android-15 (or whatever API version you have) and move them to platforms/android-15. For me, this meant moving two folders: armeabi-v7a and x86. I was able to make an AVD fine after that.

i was recently facing the same problem and tried all solutions here, but none was working for me.
my fault was, that i didn't made a choice in the CPU/ABI section, after creating a new devie in the avd-manager. (Guess I started with a bad tutorial, since this field was left open there too...)

In case you can't get it to work after the above comments, you should try to update your ADT version (to at least 20). After that I was able to install ARM EABI v.. System Image and it worked fine.

To avoid "unable to find a "userdata.img file for ABI armeabi to copy into the AVD folder" error when creating Android 4.0.x AVD, you should make sure the "ARM EABI v7a System Image" is installed in all the "Android 4.0.x" sections in SDK manager. and don't forget restart AVD manager after all packages are installed completely.

I had the same issue. Here's my context and how I solved it.
When I was opening my Android SDK Manager through Start > All Programs > Android SDK Tools > SDK Manager, I was able to see the ARM EABI v7a System Image package and it was actually installed.
When I was opening my Android SDK Manager through Eclipse, I wasn't even able to see the ARM EABI v7a System Image package.
I figured out after that the SDK Manager I was accessing through the Start menu was located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk while the SDK Manager I was accessing through Eclipse was located in C:\Users\$(CURRENT_USER)\android-sdks
So I removed the whole C:\Users\$(CURRENT_USER)\android-sdks folder and reconfigured Eclipse to use C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk folder : Window > Preferences > Android then browsed SDK Location field to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk.
This is one of the many reasons you could have this error so just adding my personal case and solution.
Cheers.

update ARM EABI v.. System Image by Android SDK Manager

Cannot launch AVD in Emulator [Android Studio 2.2]

I'd installed HAXM emulator but am still getting the problem in Running AVD.
provide me a solution for this error?
your android SDK has an incomplete update , specifically the HAXM installer for running the emulator is corrupted some how.
You need to reinstall the required platforms and the system images for those platforms
Go to the local.properties and change the sdk path to the new sdk (if downloaded from scratch), otherwise it will work if the current sdk is updated perfectly.

Eclipse can't find older android SDKs even though I've downloaded them

I have Android 4.2 installed and working in Eclipse. I'd now like to test my app with older SDK versions.
I've used "Android SDK Manager" to download these older SDK versions, and they show up as "Installed" there, and I can create AVDs using those platforms, but when in Eclipse, only my 4.2 AVDs show up.
Also strange: If I browse to:
E:\adt\sdk\platforms
... the only directory is:
android-17
So where is 'android-10' that I have downloaded via the SDK manager?
When I go to preferences in Eclipse, as mentioned, only 4.2 shows up:
What gives?!
The SDK Path on your SDK Manager window says that the path is E:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk. You are trying to search in E:\adt\sdk\platforms and it is not there.
Upon checking my ANDROID_HOME environment variable I was confused to find:
E:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
And upon further inspection, the SDK Manager also shows that in the screenshot above. So obviously something strange has happened.
Trying to figure out how to get things sane again...

PANIC: Missing arch-specific emulator program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-mips.exe

I just install the mips system image in my Android SDK Manager.
When I run an AVD with CPU/ABI - with mips system image. It gives me the error and AVD doesn't launch.
Please take a look at the images.
Also can anyone tell me what is mips system image.
------------- also see my SDK manager --------
It says that mips system image is installed on your system.
-
It is probably due to running version 20 or older of the SDK tools. They added mips into 21 which is in their preview channel. To enable the preview channel you just need to open your SDK Manager, click on Tools->Options and then check Enable Preview Tools.
http://developer.mips.com/android/download-android-sdk/
http://tools.android.com/preview-channel
see if your .exe file is in your antivirus quarantine
1- Download the adt-bundle again from https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk.
2- Open the Zip File.
3- Copy the missing .exe Files From the Folder "\sdk\tools".
4- Past the Copied Files in Your "Android\sdk\tools" Directory.
Please go to
Android Virtual Device Manager using the Eclipse IDE.
Windows -> AVD Manager.
Select the AVD desired from the list and click on the 'Start' button.

How to create an AVD for Android 4.0.3? (Unable to find a 'userdata.img')

I'm trying to create my first AVD for Android 4.0.3 following the tutorials, but I'm getting the error message:
[2012-05-09 10:46:29 - SDK Manager] Unable to find a 'userdata.img' file for ABI armeabi to copy into the AVD folder.
My attempts to solve:
I was trying with the Android 4.0, now I updated to the 4.0.3 and the problem is the same.
I reinstalled the Eclipse plugin twice with 4.0 and twice with 4.0.3, and the behavior doesn't change.
I downloaded the Eclipse for Java again, to another folder, and installed the plugin. The behavior is the same.
The file <sdk>/system-images/android-15/armeabi-v7a/userdata.img exists, it's a 4mb file, read-only.
Related question: How to create an AVD for Android 4.0 - the answer didn't worked here.
I'm running Eclipse Indigo Service Release 2 Build id: 20120216-1857 on Ubuntu 11.10.
Make sure you have all of the latest files installed. Go to the SDK manager in Eclipse (WINDOW/SDK Manager). Make sure all of the files show "installed".
I got this problem when trying to setup an emulator for Android 2.3.3 (API 10).
I had two platforms installed in my SDK: API 10 and 17. I noticed that the userdata.img files for these platforms were located as below:
system-images/
android-17/
x86/
userdata.img
android-10/
x86/
images/
x86/
userdata.img
So as you can see, the emulator images for the android-10 platform were probably not put in the right folder.
Anyway, in short: if you are in the same situation, just move the contents of the android-[version]/x86/images/x86/ folder to the android-[version]/x86/ folder. It worked for me.
Obviously, if you are trying to launch an ARM image, do the same thing with the armeabi folder instead of the x86 folder.
i think you also have to download ARM EABI v7a System Image under Android 4.1
I wrote an installation guide to get Android SDK and Eclipse working together. There are a couple of pitfalls which you may run into especially on Windows with regards to Firewalls. Here it is:
http://testigniter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/eclipse-with-android-sdk-installation.html
Open SDK manager (run as admin) --> Android 4.1 (API 16) --> ARM EABI v7a system image. Install this.

Android:Android SDK and AVD Manager doesn't launch after did SDK upgrade?

I have Android development eclipse setup on Mac OS X. I recently did Android SDK upgrade from 1.5 to available versions such as 1.6, 2.0.1 and 2.1 and docs. After did upgrade, automatically restarted my Macbook and installed all new versions. After this, when i try to launch "Windows->Android SDK and AVD Manager", it doesn't launch at all. What might be the reason? Does anyone has the solution?
The reason why i'm trying to launch Android SDK and AVD Manager is, i need to add new Android virtual device(avd) target for 2.0.1 and 2.1 versions, for that i'm trying to launch Android SDK and AVD Manager.
Thank you in advance.
It seems the latest version of the Android SDK AVD Manager requires that there be a few directories (empty) before the AVD Manager will launch.
In the SDK install directory, there must be sibling directories to tools for "platforms" and "add-ons".
Create those directories, restart Eclipse, then launch AVD Manager.
And that should do it.
Then You can Update All and get platforms.
Well this is actually caused by the fact that android is installed on c:\program files folder (the commands executed by android consider that the called folder is c:\program which is a non existent folder and this issue is due to the space in the name of this folder).
So the solution is to reinstall your program under a folder with non spaced name (for example c:\Android) and it should be fine.
Note: this problem can also be related to a problem of jre problem so make sure you have the appropriate version for android sdk.
Have you tried launching Eclipse with the -clean option?
The clean option clears any cached data Eclipse might be using, so it may resolve the SDK/AVD Manager issue you are encountering.
Here is a more in-depth explanation:

Here is one example of launching Eclipse from a command line (Terminal) in OSX with the -clean option:

You might have to update your "SDK tools" as well as downloading the Android v2.1 SDK itself. I had the problem where after downloading v2.1, suddenly nothing worked as I got the message I needed to update to SDK tools rev5 - that update doens't happen automatically when you go to the AVD manager and download the "available packages". I don't know if it's the same on a Mac, but on the PC it was as simple as going to "Help -> Check for Updates" in Eclipse.
the newer version of the SDK tools is probably in a different folder than the old version, so update
Window -> Preferences -> SDK Location.
Paul
Check the install is ok by running the commands from the tools directory manually to check it's not an issue with the install
I had a similar problem and traced it to a faulty swt.jar file in the folder
[adroid_sdk]\tools\lib[platform]
Downloaded a new one from http://www.eclipse.org/swt/ and put all the files into the above directory. For me [platform] was "x86", but it might be different for you, though I only had 3 folders to choose from and I dont think it will hurt if you put the files in all of them.
