How to Get Android 3.0 on an Android Emulator

1. Download and install the Android SDK from developer.android.com.

2. Open the SDK Manager. Click “Available Packages.” Click the check boxes next to the version or versions of the Android operating system you want to load. For example, check “SDK Platform Android 3.0, API 11, Revision 2' to load that version of Android. You can check multiple versions. Click “Install Selected.”

3. Click “Virtual Devices,” and then click “New.” Type a name for your device in the “Name” text field and click the Android version you want to run from the “Target” drop-down menu. You can type the size of your virtual microSD card in the “SD Card” panel or leave it blank to make an emulated device without storage. You can also add virtual hardware, like an accelerometer or camera to the device. Click “Create AVD.” Click “OK” in the confirmation window.

4. Click “Start” to open the virtual device.
