Cannot create a AVD for ABI Armeabi-v7a/Arm64-v8a. Install an image for it

Naming failure on my side. I have installed AndroidStudio and started the AVD manager there.

As marked you can get those AVDs under "Other Images". This is on a windows machine. It took me a while to find this possibility.
I receive everytime a warning and recommendation to use x84 device, because it is 10 times faster. So far I did not see differences in testing with either machines.

I'm installing system images for API 25, and don't know if it's a good choice or not!

As well as, do you mean testing programs on ARM AVDes have no difference from X86? I got the speed difference but can we trust X86 to give us the real and same behavior as real devices?

I believe Nougat was the newest I could see. However, I am not sure if this was because of other selections.

I was trying to get an initial environment to see where the crashes might happen. For me it worked out with the faster x86 AVDs. I was a bit reluctant as well because it is for sure a different tool chain. At day 's end I would not bet on final results before I have not tested on device anyway. However, solving the issues first on x86 and go afterwards for arm seem to be safe.

OK, so it's good to first test the app using the X86 ADV and then ARM.
What is the correct way of creating an AVD, please?

I mean, I created two ones using Android studio but they're not shown on the list of Qt Creator when I run the app. (Below image)

2- And when I create another AVD there, using Qt Creator, I then face an error:

Go to Create Virtual Device

Select one you like and press next. You will see download suggestions, but you have to go to "Other Images"

@koahnig
Please take a look at the screenshot I sent in my previous post. there I created two AVDes, one by X86, and the other Arm. But none is shown when running the app

@tomy

Do not know. I have installed Android Studio on standard path. Creator did find AVDs when created with Android Studio. There was no further fuzz.

Under "devices" tab "Devices" I have this:

@koahnig
That option was on Local PC but I changed that to yours. Yet, no success!

I tested that with all three kits (arm 7a, arm 8a and X86).

Did you restart creator?
Sometimes this last resort heals together with an old fashioned reboot everything.

I even restarted the OS, but no change in result!
