Failed to create AVD with sdk for Android on Mac OS

Question

I installed Android Studio and JDK1.8 on Mac OS. I followed the instructions and created a new application with API 15 at least sdk.

I tried to create an AVD from the AVD manager to test my application, choosing as a target to create a new virtual device -> nexus 6-> lollipop 22 armeabi_v7a android 5.1.1. When I click the end, it returns me to the first screen of the AVD manager without any errors, and the AVD is not created.

Where could the problem be?

Answer 1

First you need to download the SDKs of interest from the menu Android Studio Tools → Tools → Android → SDK Manager or in the menu bar.

Do not forget to install the intel x86 haxm emulator accelerator from the SDK manager - this will significantly speed up your Android virtual device.

Then continue as you mentioned in your question.

EDIT: from the comments, your version of OS X 10.7.5 and Android Studio runs on 10.8.5 , so you either:

• Update your OS X installation.
• Install Eclipse and use google's ADT plugin in your current configuration.
