Hi guys! Welcome to Take me 2 Tech.

7. Click on create.
8. Choose name for your AVD, choose device, Choose target (We have only installed Android 4.2.2, if you want you can install another version from SDK manager), Choose CPU Google or Intel API for fast speed, Choose skin, Choose camera of your choice, Choose RAM size, Internal storage and SD card.
