How to create an AVD for Android 4.0

Tags:

avd

Android 4.0 is now released. I have just updated my ADT plugin and downloaded the 4.0 SDK. But when I try to create an AVD for Android 4.0, Eclipse tells me 'Unable to find a 'userdata.img' file for ABI armeabi to copy into the AVD folder'.

I found d:\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-14 missing the 'images' folder which other versions have. This folder may have 'userdata.img' that create an AVD should have.

Where should I to get 'userdata.img', and how do I create an AVD for Android 4.0?

What is the difference between emulator & AVD?

An Android Virtual Device (AVD) is an emulator configuration that lets you model an actual device by defining hardware and software options to be emulated by the Android Emulator. The Android SDK includes a mobile device emulator — a virtual mobile device that runs on your computer.

What is the difference between SDK and AVD?

The former is called SDK Manager, which integrates easy updates for the Software Development Kit (SDK), including tools, platforms, and other components into packages. The latter is AVD Manager, which allows you to create and manage Android Virtual Devices (AVDs). AVDs are basically device emulators.

I just did the same. If you look in the "Android SDK Manager" in the "Android 4.0 (API 14)" section you'll see a few packages. One of these is named "ARM EABI v7a System Image".

This is what you need to download in order to create an Android 4.0 virtual device:
