Android Studio 0.8.9: Created emulator with Google API 16, defaults to API 21 -


I'm trying to test on an older Android version on an emulator. I have done a lot of work with them, so this problem is frustrating me.

I created a new AVD with Google API 16 which is running Google ARMEABI when I launch the emulator, it starts an AVD with API 21. I have verified in "almost phone" that the Android 5.0 emulator is running on.

I have not explicitly made 5.0 avd why is this happening? Is Google ARM really for API 21 only? If so, why is it included in other API level SDK?

I have not uninstalled it and have re-installed it, what should I do, but I am thinking that anyone else is facing this problem?

I can not paste images because I do not have a representative under this login, but if I could!

As it turns out, SDK Manager is a criminal; Google ARM is installed for earlier SDK versions. When it is only used to actually use API 21.

Unfortunately this means that you can make ADID when making it an AVD Manager, which has less than 21 APIs.
