Error: AVD 2.3 is not valid: Unknown target 'android-10' in /home/user/.android/avd/2.3.ini. Try to repair it through AVD manager

Issue

I get the above error when trying to add the '2.3' named AVD to the Run Configuration. The creation of it worked flawlessly though. Tried on multiple targets, see below:

Works for:

• L Preview
• 4.4

Doesn't work for:

• 2.3.3
• 4.1.2
• 4.3

This happens when using Android Studio 0.8.1, although I remember having the same problem on 0.6.1 also.

Solution

I'm on Android Studio 0.8.13 now, with the newly updated AVD Manager and it seems to be working perfectly. I was able to create a Nexus S with 2.3.3 APi 10. First time Host GPU was on and the screen was blank the whole time, even if the AVD started successfully. After turning Host GPU off, I got the screen working too.
