Another update: For testing the applications on a simulator, a system image needs to be downloaded. But where to unpack this type of package? It is a little bit counter-intuitive and I found out only after a while of Googling:
>From a user Hariadi Hinta on a forum somewhere: "Hi Ahmed, You need to create a folder called system-images in the top level of your SDK directory (next to platforms and tools) and then, create sub-directories android-14 and android-15. Extract the complete armeabi-v7afolder to these directories" So what worked for me was creating the directory system-images/android-16 and unpacking the system image there. Voila! This needs to be documented somewhere, unless the SDK Manager improves (from what I've read, I'm not the only one with this kind of problem).
