I'm trying to create my first AVD for Android 4.0.3 following the tutorials, but I'm getting the error message:

[2012-05-09 10:46:29 - SDK Manager] Unable to find a 'userdata.img' file for ABI armeabi to copy into the AVD folder.

My attempts to solve:

  • I was trying with the Android 4.0, now I updated to the 4.0.3 and the problem is the same.
  • I reinstalled the Eclipse plugin twice with 4.0 and twice with 4.0.3, and the behavior doesn't change.
  • I downloaded the Eclipse for Java again, to another folder, and installed the plugin. The behavior is the same.

The file <sdk>/system-images/android-15/armeabi-v7a/userdata.img exists, it's a 4mb file, read-only.

Make sure you have all of the latest files installed. Go to the SDK manager in Eclipse (WINDOW/SDK Manager). Make sure all of the files show "installed".
