title: How to create a virtual Android device for Qt Creator?
body: <p>I have Qt Creator and Qt 5.8 on Windows 7 x64.</p>
  
  <p>I have installed:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Android Studio  </li>
  <li><code>jdk-8u121-windows-x64</code></li>
  <li><code>qt-opensource-windows-x86-android-5.8.0</code></li>
  <li>downloaded and extracted <code>apache-ant-1.10.1-bin</code>.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Then I followed the <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/qtcreator-accelbubble-example.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Creating a Mobile Application</a> document and created a project named <code>Andapp1</code>:</p>

  <p>There were some errors indicated in General Messages, but I don't know if they were relevant:</p>

  <p>Then I was recommended to follow the <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-developing-android.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Connecting Android Devices</a> document. Thus I set the <em>Android tab</em> as follows:</p>

  <p>Finally, I tried to run my <em>Andapp1</em> project in Qt Creator, but it needed an Android virtual device:</p>

  <p>Then I was suggested to follow <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-developing-android.html#using-the-android-emulator" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Using the Android Emulator</a> document, but it's not clear how to!</p>
  
  <p>Below is my <em>Android SDK Manager</em>'s state:</p>

  <p>I can't figure out how should I interpret the documentation to create and connect an <em>Android virtual device</em> to the Qt Creator to be able to run the <em>Andapp1</em> Android app!</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
