AVD Manager loses user-created device definitions after closing and reopening itself

When I create a new device definition in AVD Manager, I can create a new AVD with this device definition. If I close and reopen AVD Manager, the device definition is lost and the AVD created gets "repairable" status.

What is the AVD Manager?

The AVD has a dedicated storage area on your development machine. It stores the device user data, such as installed apps and settings, as well as an emulated SD card. If needed, you can use the AVD Manager to wipe user data, so the device has the same data as if it were new. An emulator skin specifies the appearance of a device.

Why can't I See my Device in AVD Manager?

If this won't work, try to stop your Firewall. The "V" in AVD Manager stands for virtual, which is your clue that this tool is only for managing virtual devices (i.e. emulator images), not real devices. Accordingly, you shouldn't expect your real device to show up there.

What is avdmanager in Linux?

This seems to be a locale specific bug. We are discussing it on the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/adt-dev/nfJvhxO8iJk

As you pointed out, a temporary fix is to create the device definition, then edit ~/android/devices.xml and replace commas with dots.
