Is there a way to specify processor architecture requirements in an Android manifest?

I use my own library in my Android project, which is compiled in armeabi-v7. My project targets the Android SDK 8. When I try to run it with the phone turned off, the automatic targeting selects the Android 2.2 virtual device (armeabi) instead of 4.03 (armeabi-v7) and tries to install it on it, but that throws a Failed to install apk on device 'emulator!.

I can’t find a way to specify the required processor architecture, which seems strange given that you can specify the Android SDK version, hardware requirements (e.g. hardware keyboard) with <uses-configuration>, many more hardware requirements, and even OpenGL version c <uses-feature>in AndroidManifest.xml.

Is there any way to indicate this?

No, there is no way to do this, which is strange, I agree. There is one way to specify the architecture (setting APP_ABI: = armeabi-v7a in Application.mk), but this is taken into account only when creating your own libraries, and not when choosing the appropriate emulator.

But note that when you publish your application on Google Play, target architectures are treated as market filters, and you can see them on your developer console.
