The OK button in the Create New Android Virtual Appliance (AVD) dialog box does nothing

Question

I tried creating AVD from eclipse in the following steps:

• Click "Windows / Android Virtual Device Manager". The Android Virtual Device Manager dialog box appears.
• In the dialog box, click "Create ...". The Create New Android Device (AVD) dialog box appears.
• Fill in the fields in this dialog box, then click OK.
• But the OK button does nothing. The Create New Android Virtual Appliance (AVD) dialog box remains valid and nothing has been created.

Answer 1

you need to avoid spaces in the name of AVD. Instead, underline and the OK button will become active :)

Answer 2

This appears to be a bug reported with ADT 22.6. Additional information in this post:

Unable to create or edit Android virtual devices (AVD) from Eclipse, ADT 22.6

I really was able to reproduce the same problem inside my environment. As a workaround, I was able to open the AVD manager outside of Eclipse using the following command in the terminal:

android-sdk-location/tools/android avd

After opening the AVD manager outside of eclipse, it allows me to create the device successfully. Please note that after creating the device, you will have to restart Eclipse so that it appears in the list of used devices.

Please look at this similar entry for some additional suggestions if necessary:

AVD Manager - Cannot Create Android Virtual Device

EDIT: upgrade to the latest AVD manager and this problem should go away

Answer 3

It's not a mistake! I solved the problem by removing the space between the letters of the AVD name that I am going to make!

Whenever I add a space in the AVD name, the ok button is disabled!

Answer 4

Using "Create Device" did not work for me, however, using "Clone" from an existing device and just changing all the values ​​that worked fine.
The name also indicated spaces.

Answer 5

I was able to find a solution by installing System Images for the version of Android I was looking for to follow.

Open the Android SDK Manager → Android 4.4.2 → Check the image of the ARM EABI v7a system and the image of the Intel x86 Atom system → Click “Install Packages”.

Re-launch AVD Manager and create a new virtual device.

Answer 6

Even I encountered the same problem installing ARM EABI v7a System Image. try "Open SDK Manager and make sure you have installed ARM EABI v7a System Image"

Answer 7

If you cannot create a device, then simply clone it.

 Open ADT Manger Click on Device Definations Double Tap on the device you want Edit it and click on clone Then create your device as you wish with low specifications. 

Now everything is ready

Answer 8

On Windows, open the installed android-sdk folder.

It will be located in

 C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk 

then run "AVD Manager.exe" directly.

Answer 9

Usually the drop-down list of skins is nothing, so you need to choose a skin.

Answer 10

Suppose you guys are using Windows, make sure you set the path for Java, platform tools, and tools in environment variables. Then log out and log in again. Typically, in windows, environment variables take effect after this entry.

Answer 11

I had to remove ALL ALL old AVDs first, then the OK button appeared, and I was able to create new ones. Some older AVDs were created on older versions of Android, so I suspect that this caused a conflict with the AVD manager.

Answer 12

Guys, the problem is solved, from the ADT or Eclipse open the SDK Manager (Windows> SDK Manager), and then from the SDK Manager you can use the Tools menu> Manage AVD, and this will work to create AVD, as well as to restore old AVDS.

Answer 13

Another stupid thing that makes the OK button disabled is to use the same name for the virtual machine. Each time you click the Create AVD button, the AVD Manager fills in the default name on the Device Definitions tab. Earlier, I created one such AVD and wanted to try a different configuration, and the OK button was disabled because the name was already used.

Answer 14

The double name AVD also holds the OK button, please check this also

Answer 15

I uninstalled and reinstalled Intel HAXM when I used the Intel Atom image. After entering all the settings, the "OK" button was still grayed out, only after you selected the "Skin" field, since "No skin" was activated, so I think you need to select a skin, even if it means a choice "No skin"

It worked for me.

Answer 16

My problem was solved by freeing up disk space .

I had 2 GB free, and noticed that after closing the Add virtual device window there was red notification on the top-right corner of Android Studio .

Click on it and it showed a log message stating freeing disk space was required .

I did this, and the next time I tried to add a virtual device, it worked.

Answer 17

you need the AVD Manager install the SDK from here , then create an Android Virtual Device where you install the SDK, not in Eclips.

when you start Eclips, you can see your AVD in Windows-> Android Virtual Device Manager.

later you can add system image , APIs , ... to the SDK because this SDK is not full.
