Android Eclipse OSX Create AVD using terminal launches AVD Manager

I am new to programming and working with Eclipse on Mac. I am trying to create a new AVD with google maps support and when I run "android" (in the SDK tools folder) I get "No command line parameters launching interface". This launches the Eclipse Android SDK and AVD manager.

My question is how to create a new AVD with Google Maps support? All the information I found seems to be using terminal commands. My problem is when I try to use the terminal does the AVD start up?

Any help is appreciated as I am very new to this.

You can easily do this with the GUI: Start AVD Manager using the android command in the tools directory. In eclipse, you can also access the tool from Window> Android SDK and AVD Manager.



  • Click the "New" button to create a new AVD.
  • In the dialog that appears, provide a name for the AVD and select the target of the system image you want the AVD to use. Select one of the Google API Targets (Google Inc.) , make sure to select the version whose API level matches the android: minSdkVersion attribute in your app manifest.
  • Configure other options you want and then click "Create AVD".
