Navigate to AVD Manager thru eclipse


Supposedly to get to AVD Manager in Eclipse, all I have to do is clicking Window > AVD Manager. My problem is when I click on window, there is no AVD Manager among the selections. I need to edit an existing AVD, how would I do that? I am using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Juno Service Release 2

Initial Trick:

To the best of my knowledge, everything is installed correctly. I have already created and run my first app. But since I could not find the AVD Manager, I clicked run on the app and when eclipse complained about no existing AVD, I clicked on create avd and went from there. But now that I already have an AVD, I no longer get the complaint and so I am stuck with one AVD and don't know how to edit it.


Solution

  • Try going to

    Window-->Custom Perspective-->Command Groups Availability tab

    You should see "Android SDK and AVD Manager" (mine is third one down) click the checkbox and "OK" and it should show up under "Window" now. I had to do this when I upgraded to Juno. I don't know if its something wrong in Eclipse or more likely I missed something during installation :)
