Trouble creating an emulator (base image problems) (Solved)

Trouble creating an emulator (base image problems) (Solved)

BY 22 Dec 2013 SDK & IDE

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of the SDK (2.2.1) on Fedora Linux. It appears to be working fine, as I can build an application without difficulty. However, I have had trouble setting up an emulator to test on. Using the emulator manger, I attempt to create a new emulator and give it a name. When I click “Confirm” I receive the following error:

“Failed to create Emulator (Test)

Failed check base image…

Please, select base image again.”

I tried creating a custom emulator and selecting the same base image (the only one included in the sdk). I also tried downloading the image from the download section below where the sdk is listed, and using that image instead of the original. The same error occurs every time. I don’t have a physical device to test on, so I was counting on the emulator to test my applications.

Any idea of what’s wrong?
