I’m trying to do a lot of debugging of our web app for Android. The Android emulator seems a tad more difficult for me to get running than the iOS ones. 😉

I have installed the proper Java JDK and Android SDK.

I can now launch AVD manager. This is where I’m stuck. I understand this is where we can customize the specifications of our particular device, but to create a new virtual device, I need to choose a target. However, my target menu is grayed out. I’m guessing there’s one more thing I need to install, but I’m lost as to what that is. (BTW, for starters, I’m trying to emulate the Thunderbolt).

    Installing the Android SDK does not install one of the Android platforms to build a AVD from.
    To install a platform do the following:

    1. Open the Android SDK Manager (located in the Android SDK directory as tools\android).
    2. Select at least one Android platform to install, and click Install Selected. Depending on the version of Android running on the Thunderbolt, you would most likely choose to install Android 2.2 or Android 2.3).
    3. Once this installed the target menu will display the version you installed.
