Help --Error Message

Following the videos of the lesson plan and stage (Getting Started with Android) , I have tried to create a new Virtual Device on the AVD Manager, except an error message says that the CPU/ABI has no image available for the target. How can I pass this obstacle?

Where have you installed the Android Developer Tools (ADT), from the Treehouse's website or from the developer.android.com ?

If you installed it from Treehouse's website, maybe it worth to try to install from the official android developer website, because these tools and the Android SDK is rapidly evolving.

seems that the package contents are the same and creating a new avd manager is the same process which means that the same issue appears, (There are no ARM available for the CPU). Please refer to the video for reference (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-android-app/getting-started-with-android/android-setup-and-the-crystal-ball-project-2) at the 12:40 mark.

Thanks for getting back to me, I am sure that the website you have linked is the same as the one treehouse provides along with the other links/resources placed underneath the video lesson. (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-android-app/getting-started-with-android/android-setup-and-the-crystal-ball-project-2)

Actually they are different webpages ! I will try your ADT package and if it works out I will notify the treehouse staff of the changes they should make.
