IDEA-75994 Intellij IDEA 10.5.2 Ultimate problem creating an Android Virtual Device Unable to find a 'userdata.img' file to copy into the AVD folder
0
Issue is visible to: All Users
  The issue is visible to the selected user group only
OS: Mac OS Lion 10.7.2
IDEA: 10.5.2 Ultimate
Android SDK: 4.0.1 installed with MacPorts 2.0.3 (android @14)

I am new to Android development, although I completed a few tutorials a year ago with IDEA 9 (?) and Android SDK 3 (something).

I am having trouble adding/creating an Android Virtual Device to a Run/Debug Configuration.

I have followed the instructions here:


In the first link, when I reach image 29, I click OK and an error dialog box appears with the message:

Unable to find a 'userdata.img' file to copy into the AVD folder

I do not know if it is necessary, but before I started my IDEA Android project used % android avd to create a sample AVD.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joshua

I get the same issue and I have the ARM EABI v7a System Image installed (which the link says is the solution). 2.2, 2.3.3, 3.0 and 3.2 SDK all work fine, just 4.0.1 gives this error prompt. If it helps I see this file in my Android sdk directory under:

android-sdk-macosx/system-images/android-14/armeabi-v7a/userdata.img

Also please note the stack overflow issue quotes the error as "Unable to find a 'userdata.img' file for ABI armeabi to copy into the AVD folder".

While this error is "Unable to find a 'userdata.img' file to copy into the AVD folder". Note the lack or armeabi reference.

@Chris, try to restart IDEA, and try to create AVD from SDK manager. IDEA doesn't pass any ABI to avd manager tool, because it cannot find any abi type for Android 4.

I'm having the same exact problem as Chris Holaday.

update:

Your suggestion to create the AVD through the SDK Manager solved the problem.
