i am trying to start the android emulator from eclipse classic (juno)
and it keeps giving me this error:
ERROR: unknown skin name 'WVGA800'
I developed my software using eclipse indigo, but since I installed eclipse juno and imported the same project it started to give me this error. any idea why? and how to resolve this issue?
One solution, if you're happy to do this, is to not use a skin. To do this:
1> Tools/AVD Manager
2> Select the device
3> Click the pen icon in the "Actions" Column
4> Uncheck "Enable Device Frame"
Alternatively, if you want to select a preexisting skin, you can click on "Advanced Settings" and scroll down to the "Custom skin definition" drop down box.
And to see instructions on how to create a custom skin, you can click on "Advanced Settings" and scroll down to "How do I create a custom hardware skin", which links to here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/managing-avds#skins
I had the same issue as I moved my avd files between systems and as in your case you have moved the relevant files. So the solution as to go to the .android folder and make changes to the files with .ini of conf in their names. In there you will see that the paths to various resources are different as a result of the move you made. So put in the correct path values.
That was how I solved mine.
I solved by uninstalling and reinstall the emulator.
In Android Studio, go to: Tools -> SDK Manager Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK SDK Tools tab Uncheck the Android Emulator check box, and hit the Apply button. Do the same, checking the Android Emulator check box.
