Brand new installation of IDEA 11 and Device Convigurations screen looks like this.
As I found from IDEA's docs, the default content is pulled from the XML file located at
Default configurations are stored in Sdk_Directory/tools/lib/devices.xml
I found this file and saw that it is full of content. However, Device configurations screen is still empty.
To repeat this is a brand new installation of IDEA 11 (the same with IDEA 12 preview) and brand new installation of Android SDK.
Why is this happening and how to fix this?
How I solved this issue!
This quote of IntelliJ team helped me
1. Custom configurations are stored in Home_Directory/.android/devices.xml 2. Default configurations are stored in Sdk_Directory/tools/lib/devices.xml
Sdk_Directory/tools/lib/devices.xml
Home_Directory/.android/devices.xml
Preview pane returned to previous state with all devices.
PS. this is a solution for Linux, but the same file exists in windows versions as well
Insert in the file %USER%\.android\devices.xml data from a previous version of SDK. For example, below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
