AVD - Unable to create Device

Question

I'm not able to create a new AVD. After entering the information in the controls and clicking OK does nothing. The dialog just sits there, no error messages no nothing.

I am using latest eclipse 64 bits for java developers (kepler, downloaded today), installed ADT plugin manually (following instructions developer.google.com):

The create new AVD screen: enter image description here

The SDK setup: enter image description here

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm using JDK 1.7 (minor version is 40 I think).

@Raghunandan That was it, found the workaround too on that page: WORKAROUND: In Eclipse, open the SDK Manager (via toolbar or Window menu) > Tools > Manager AVDs. This will invoke the external version of the AVD Manager which will properly generate AVDs. Other workaround: use the command-line version (Shell or cmd.exe, cd SDK, "tools\android.bat avd"). — kmansoor, Mar 08 '14 at 19:44

First of all, I would install all the Build-Tools packages, that could be the problem. Also, it may take a while, I would wait a few minutes.

I do have Android SDK Build-tools v19.0.3 installed. Are you suggesting to install another version? – kmansoor Mar 08 '14 at 19:22
Nevermind, look at Raghunadan's comment. I would just wait for the next release of the SDK. – ElectronicGeek Mar 08 '14 at 19:30

This seems to be bug as of adt rev 22. It is reported and should be fixed in the next update.

The case of the AVD creation/repair failing when launched from Eclipse will be fixed in ADT 22.6.1.
