Android AVD advice, no existing decvices?

Question

When I open up the AVD manager in eclipse there are no exisiting devices that I can use, Do I need to create one or should it be there automatically?

Answer 1

This should get you started. You need to create an AVD first, to be able to run your apps on an emulator.

If you have a device, you don't need an AVD.

Update:

Target: Android 4.4

Memory: 512MB to start with, you can increase it if you need.

SD Card: 512MB is good to test your apps.

You could give some tries, and get comfortable with how to use AVD manager. Play with it a little.
