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

Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

If you didn't see the ARM option as user2636417 wrote, just click on "Other Images" tab and download the desired ARM option.
