Cannot find API system images Android 27.0-8.1 (Oreo) 26-27 ARM

Question

Is there somewhere Android 8.0 (Oreo) API 26 and Android 8.1 (Oreo) API 27 ARM System images (ARM, not Intel x86) for AVD Manager? Thank you

Informal? Beta? Alpha? Any?

Answer 1

You must collect the Android source code for a specific platform yourself

Answer 2

ARM images for APIs 26 and 27 are not yet available. ARM images are only available up to API 25.

Note: Google recommended the x86 system image on the x86 host for better emulation performance.

Answer 3

Recent updates have allowed AMD computers to run the Android emulator, and you no longer need to install ARM images. Taken from the Android Developer Blog:

If you have an AMD processor installed on your computer, you must complete the following configuration requirements:

AMD Processor - Recommended: AMD® Ryzen ™ processors

Android Studio 3.2 Beta or higher

Android emulator v27.3. 8+

x86 Android Virtual Device (AVD)

Windows 10 April 2018 Update

Enable with Windows Features: Windows Hypervisor Platform

And this is it! I highly recommend reading the entire blog post:
