Hi,

What are your phone specifications ?

[SGaist]

As written here, the minimum API level is 16 which means Android 4.1. Yours is at 2.3.4.

[WhatIf]

The other alternative to getting a new phone is to Create Android Virtual Device. When I click the button I get "Cannot create a AVD for ABI armeabi-v7a. Install an image for it."

When I searched online, they mention that armeabi-v7a is listed under SDK Tools in SDK Manager. That doesn't seem to be the case.

How can I get a virtual device to work?

This is one of the website I came a cross while searching for a solution. I'm running Windows and here is what my SDK Manager displays

No ARM EABI v7a

@WhatIf

Please follow below steps

Turn on developer options
Turn on adb debugging

Please use below commands
Always use adb from latest android SDK installed

Adb kill-server
Adb start-server
Adb devices

If on windows just run command prompt by run as administrator

On Linux systems use sudo.
Always remember run qt by admin rights. I.e sudo in linux

After this your device will start showing up
If still after running commands there is no device shown change cable and try different USB port

[WhatIf]

Tried running adb devices as administrator and got

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

ran the command from inside C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools>

@WhatIf Please check the "Show Package Details" check-box in "SDK-Tools"...

@WhatIf
Yes ofcourse you to run it from path. Else you can add path to System Environment variables if you don't want to navigate to directory.
So did you finally got your device working?

As for the minimum requirements of Api level 16 . You can updgrade the device Android version by taking latest os from Cyanogen mod .

I kept trying until I found that the images are now under SDK Platforms not SKD Tools. The following image shows what I have installed

I thought this would fix the problem but I still get

Cannot create a AVD for ABI armeabi-v7a. Install an image for it

@WhatIf What API level do you use? You installed the image for 25.

[Avtansh Sharma]

@WhatIf Can you create avd in android studio.
