How to create a virtual Android device

tomy

The problem is that I cannot install the required packages. :(

It seems that the problem is of the SDK and AVD Managers. I hope so.
I'm downloading android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows.zip.
Then I follow the steps mentioned in video.

I downloaded that .zip. It contains these and the Tools folder contains these. When Run the SDK Manager it shows almost nothing.
what is the problem this time? :(

What does that .zip show for you? Why mine shows nothing!

This is the content of the SDK folder created when installing Android Studio 2.2.3. Its size is about 4.84GB. That is, It is bigger than any other SDK Tools.
But I don't know why it doesn't install all packages it includes!!

Your problem is that SDK Manager doesn't show you all packages.
Try open SDK Manager.exe as an administrator.
Seems like known issue

Thanks. I read it carefully.
Again no success! :-(

I guess the problem is of the the proxy settings. Mine is like this.

I uninstalled everything and started the work again this time this way:
On my Windows 7 x64, I installed:

qt-opensource-windows-x86-android-5.7.0 (I thought the problem may be of 5.8 so installed this time 5.7)
android-studio-bundle-145.3537739-windows (Android Studio 2.2.3)
android-ndk-r13b
apache-ant-1.10.1
jdk-8u121-windows-x64

And after setting the Android Tab of Qt Creator 5.7, I ran SDK Manager using its path:C:\Users\CS\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

Result: http://imgur.com/a/CLZZu

Once again, this time using a Windows 10 x64 virtual machine, I installed:

qt-opensource-windows-x86-android-5.8.0
android-studio-bundle-145.3537739-windows (Android Studio 2.2.3)
android-ndk-r13b
apache-ant-1.10.1
jdk-8u121-windows-x64

And after setting the Android Tab of Qt Creator 5.8, I ran SDK Manager using its path: C:\Users\CS\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

Result: http://imgur.com/a/WAuCe

They are unfortunately the same.
So the problem is not of the operating system.

I don't know if I had gone the way wrongly somewhere. But it's so strange.
I think there maybe a problem with Android Studio 2.2.3. Probably I should test a lower version, 2.2.2 for creating an AVD. :-( :-( :-(

@tomy In another thread I already said that you should check the "Show Package Details" check box in the bottom right corner. Did you try? You need to check it then you will see Android images you need for emulator.
