Android failed to load open nfc add-on

Question

I am following these instructions to setup open nfc emulators on my windows 7 system. As per instruction #2 I have copied Android nfc add-on to my Android SDK add-ons. The as per instruction #3 I have launched AVD manager to create new AVD with Open NFC add-on as target.

But I do not see open nfc add-on in target list. In android SDK manager, upon sorting the packeges repository wise, i can see onpe NFC add-on icon is broken, indicating `"Addon failed to load: null". See attached screenshot.

Please share if anybody has experienced and solved this issue.

Thanks

Answer 1

I looked into other addons and noticed openNFC addon didn't have source.properties file. I've just copied one from other addon and changed values of following properperties

Addon.NameDisplay=addon-2013-02-28_android-4.2.1_r1_OpenNFC_4.5.2  
Addon.NameId=OpenNFC_4.5.2  
AndroidVersion.ApiLevel=17

It works fine now.
