I have installed the latest Android SDK (22.3). But there is no "Nexus 5" option in AVD Manager. Please see the picture:
What option should I instead to emulate Nexus 5?
I'm Android development newbie.
SDK Build Tools are not installed If it fails then you may have to install it again. You look at the build tab at the bottom of the screen, it will display the error message and option to install the Build tools. Install it and you should be able to see the AVD Manager. Another way is to go to the SDK Manager.
If the Android Emulator does not start properly, this problem is often caused by problems with HAXM. HAXM issues are often the result of conflicts with other virtualization technologies, incorrect settings, or an out-of-date HAXM driver. Try reinstalling the HAXM driver, using the steps detailed in Installing HAXM.
The AVD appears in the Virtual tab of the Device Manager.
The Nexus 5 got a 4.95-inch screen at 1080×1920 (1080p) screen resolution, 2 GB RAM, front-and-back cameras. This is the correct settings when creating a custom device definition.
Both the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5 have 2 GB RAM, but Google's device definition for the Nexus 4 has the RAM set to 1907 MB, hence I've used that here for the Nexus 5 too.
