Android AVD Manager: Can't create new device definition (java.lang.NullPointerException)
android, android-emulator, java
Solution
This appears to be a bug in the framework as I ran into it using Eclipse Juno & ADT 23.0.2. Bug report is below.

Problem
I'm running the newest version of Android SDK on Mac OS X 10.9.3. I haven't had the Android SDK or any other Java development environment installed on this machine before, so this could be considered a fresh install. Nothing happens when attempting to create a new device definition using the AVD Manager, except for the following terminal output: ``` java.lang.NullPointerException at com.android.sdkuilib.internal.widgets.DeviceCreationDialog.okPressed(DeviceCreationDialog.java:916) at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog.buttonPressed(Dialog.java:472) at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog$2.widgetSelected(Dialog.java:624) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.notifyListeners(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.runEventLoop(Window.java:825) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:801) at com.android.sdkuilib.internal.repository.ui.DeviceManagerPage.onNewDevice(DeviceManagerPage.java:658) at com.android.sdkuilib.internal.repository.ui.DeviceManagerPage.access$100(DeviceManagerPage.java:97) at com.android.sdkuilib.internal.repository.ui.DeviceManagerPage$3.widgetSelected(DeviceManagerPage.java:215) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.notifyListeners(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Unknown Source) at com.android.sdkuilib.internal.repository.ui.AvdManagerWindowImpl1.open(AvdManagerWindowImpl1.java:146) at com.android.sdkuilib.repository.AvdManagerWindow.open(AvdManagerWindow.java:94) at com.android.sdkmanager.Main.showAvdManagerWindow(Main.java:437) at com.android.sdkmanager.Main.doAction(Main.java:379) at com.android.sdkmanager.Main.run(Main.java:150) at com.android.sdkmanager.Main.main(Main.java:116) ``` Here is a screenshot of the window: I have tried running the AVD Manager by using both `android avd` and `android sdk` with the same results. I am able to create a new AVD based on a generic device definition and that's it. Is there something wrong on my side or did I run into some sort of a bug?
