OK button in "Create new Android Virtual Device (AVD)" dialog does not do anything

Question

Tried to create an AVD from the eclipse environment in the following steps:

1. Click Window/Android Virtual Device Manager. This brings up the "Android Virtual Device Manager" dialog.
2. In the dialog, click "New...". This brings up the "Create new Android Virtual Device (AVD)" dialog.
3. Fill out the fields in this dialog, then click the OK button.
4. But the OK button doesn't do anything. The "Create new Android Virtual Device (AVD)" dialog still stays up and nothing is created.

Answer 1

you need to avoid spaces in the AVD name. Put underscore instead and the OK button will become active :)

Answer 2

Looks like this is a bug reported since ADT 22.6. Please find more information in this post:

Cannot create or edit Android Virtual Devices (AVD) from Eclipse, ADT 22.6

I was actually able to reproduce the same issue inside of my environment. As a workaround I was able to open the AVD manager outside of Eclipse by using the following command in terminal:

android-sdk-location/tools/android avd

After opening the AVD manager outside of eclipse it let me create the device successfully. Please note you will have to restart Eclipse once you create the device in order for it to show up in the list of usable devices.

Please look at this similar post for some more suggestions if needed:

EDIT: Update to latest AVD manager and this issue should go away
