How to create an AVD for Android 4.0
Another solution, for those of us without an internet connection to our development machine is:
Create a folder called system-images
in the top level of your SDK directory (next to platforms
and tools
). Create subdirs android-14
and android-15
(as applicable).Extract the complete armeabi-v7a
folder to these directory; sysimg_armv7a-15_r01.zip (from, e.g. google's repository) goes to android-15
, sysimg_armv7a-14_r02.zip to android-14
.
I've not tried this procedure offline, I finally relented and used my broadband allowance at home, but these are the target locations for these large sysimg's, for future reference.
I've tried creating the image
subdirs where they were absent in 14 and 15 but while this allowed the AVD to create an image (for 15 but not 14) it hadn't shown the Android logo after 15 minutes.
