3,005 PointsCan't Create a New Android Virtual Device?
Hi Everyone,
I'm attempting to create a new android virtual device via my AVDM but I'm having a hard time trying doing so. Also, I'm using a Windows machine.
These are my steps, inside of Eclipse I go to "Window" > "Android Virtual Device Manager" > I choose "Device Definitions" > I choose "Nexus S Google" > press "Create AVD" I then choose my settings and when the "OK" button becomes active, I then click it and nothing is happening...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Open your SDK manager and then try to create the AVD from the tools. See if that helps if not let me know and I could suggest you some other steps. Cheers Ali

Thanks for the help. After searching some more I found the issue. I had to go directly to my SDK Manager outside of Eclipse. Apparently it's a bug with the new software out. Thanks again, if I have any other questions I'll ask.
