I'm trying to install an android Device in Visual studio Android device Manager and my internet is super slow so I have to obtain the image from elsewhere and install it offline.
I could not find and resources for this but it should be possible.
I downloaded and extracted the API 33 version image as per this post
android studio - manually download system image for emulator
and I can see it's installed in the android SDK manager but the android device manager tries to download it again.
I managed to solve it by following the exact steps in the link provided. I had to delete the image and press the New button again. if the text "A new Device Image will be downloaded" is Not displayed it means the path copy is successful.
