"System images are not installed for this purpose", even if the image is installed

Question

So, I'm trying to create an AVD simulator, and when I try to create a 4.2.2 system, I always get the error "No system images for this purpose", even if the image is installed (see the SDK Manager image).

My x64 system, does it matter?

Answer 1

After updating the SDK, I had the same problems with the API level 19 and in my case restarting eclipse did not solve it.

For some reason, in the sdk/system-images/android-19 directory, subdirectories with system images (armeabi-v7a and x86) were placed in the "default" directory. I just moved them to the android-19 directory (if eclipse works at the same time, you will have to restart it).

Answer 2

You just need to restart the tools. I already saw this error. Corresponding installed images will appear after reboot.

You can also try updating in the Packages menu, but the simplest thing is to restart the tools.

Answer 3

Go to sdk \ system-images and open the folder of the current API that you are using (for example, android-19 in your case). Now you will find a folder with the name "default" , open it, and you will see a folder named "armeabi-v7a" or any system image that you installed. Now move the folder 'armeabi-v7a' to the sdk \ system- directory images ... i.e. just from the default folder.

What is it. I had the same problem and this method worked for me .: D

Answer 4

I restart eclipse.it for me, the problem is resolved.

Answer 5

I had the same problem. My problem was resolved by killing eclipse (Command + Q), because I am a Mac user. So, if you are on a different operating system, be sure to start the Eclipse process and restart it.

Answer 6

Very simple. I restarted Eclipse, reloaded my project and when creating a new emulator the problem disappeared.

Answer 7

Found this thread when I did a Google search for the same error.

So, I just wanted to add that if anyone encounters this thread, but you are using Android Studio . You only need to restart Android Studio. I did, and now I see what I installed.

Answer 8

Verify that you have rights to all files in the android-sdk-linux directory using:

 sudo chown $USER -R ./android-sdk-linux 

Answer 9

Here are a lot of useful helpful answers, but none of them worked for me.

On my Mac, I have Android Studio and Visual Studio installed. One would hope that they would automatically search for the Android SDK in one place, but no, not necessarily.

In Android Studio, go to Tools → Android → SDK Manager. In the window that appears, record the location of the Android SDK. It should be something like

/ Users / [user] / Library / Android / SDK

Then in Visual Studio, open "Tools" → "SDK Manager". In the window that appears, the path that you should select on the left is Projects → SDK Location → Android. On the right, click on the "Locations" tab. For me, the path to the Android SDK was set somehow

/ Users / [user] / Library / Developer / Xamarin / Android-KFOR-MacOSX

I changed this to the path that Android Studio used, and this fixed the problem for me.
