Cannot create AVD - Eclipse, MAC OSX, Android 4.4.2

Issue

I cannot create a new AVD in Eclipse on MAC OSX for testing.

Situation:

• I have installed System Images for Android 4.4.2.
• I have checked for update under "Help".
• I have checked the location for android SDK.
• I have installed older versions of Android with related system images.

When I try to create it just waits, when I click "OK". Nothing happens - even if I wait for minutes.

Any suggestions?!

Solution

This is a strange issue that I just encountered as well, here is my solution:

1) Start avd from command line:

1.1. Open Terminal

1.2. Use the cd command to navigate to the tools folder in the android SDK

--> cd <Path to Android SDK>/tools

1.3. type ./android avd

2) Create a new device in the device manager that just opened up
