I'm trying to create a new Android Virtual Device matching my own smartphone. For the system image I chose Jelly Bean (Android 4.3 (with Google APIs) from the "Other Images" tab. After completing all of my other settings, I'm prevented from finishing the config process by this "Recommendation":

Since it's a "Recommendation" which sounds like my settings could work anyway, how can I finish the process? Or am I forced to choose a system image from the x86 Images, or Recommended images?

  • It would take less time to just try it out, than to take a screenshot, post the question and wait for a response. And yes, it'll work. – 323go May 26 '16 at 15:37
  • The Recommendation is pretty clear, if you want to have better performance use an x86 images. Your selection is an arm image which will run slow on an x86 computer. – cyroxis May 26 '16 at 16:07
  • Previously when I tried an x86 image it "recommended" that I choose an image with Google API support. Hence I didn't have a way out and was trying to see if "recommendations" could be circumvented. I compromised by getting an x86 image with Google API support, but this doesn't match what I have on my phone. Does Android Studio really want to prevent virtual devices being made with "non-ideal" API's, even though they can work? – Herng Yi May 28 '16 at 11:20

Nothing will happend installing a x86 system image. It will look as your phone if you set the same android version(Jelly Bean in this case)

More information in this:Link

To get the x86 system image with Google APIs, open up the Android SDK Manager window in Eclipse, Go to the "Android 4.4.2/API 19" section, and install both "Intel x86 Atom System Image" and "Google APIs (x86 System Image)", like so:
