Android AVD Manager: Can't create new device definition (java.lang.NullPointerException)

Question

I\'m running the newest version of Android SDK on Mac OS X 10.9.3. I haven\'t had the Android SDK or any other Java development environment installed on this machine before, so

Answer 1

Try this (Considering that the cause is a corrupted config for an existing AVD):

Go to ~/.android/avd

Check the list of AVDs. If you think one of those AVDs is causing the problems, sudo rm -r (UNIQUE PART OF AVD NAME)*

This removes that AVD. Then re-try android avd
