I'm getting this error when trying to create a virtual device (I'm brand new to android development, following a tutorial to get everything set up).

Everything I found simply said install the ARM or Intel System Image for the target that you're using.

I installed both of these for Android 4.4W (API20) and all 3 for Android L (API 20, L Preview) just in case. I also tried having only 1 system image for each installed in case they somehow could interfere with each other, but that didn't work.

SDK Manager

AVD

If anyone has any ideas what else I'm missing, that would be great!

Thanks

The SDK just got dumb, remove the images and reinstall.
