Android Studio – How Can I Make an AVD With ARM Instead of HAXM?

I figured it out and I’ll answer it here in case anybody else finds this question.

  1. Go to Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager
  2. Click “Create Virtual Device”
  3. Select which device you want to use from the list (i.e Nexus 5) and click “Next”.
  4. Here you’re given a list of android release versions. Look at the ABI column. “Armeabi-v7a” ABI is what to look for, for whichever API Level you want.
  5. Hit “Next” and modify name/size if you want, click “Finish” when done.
