Android Studio - Cannot install emulator on M1

I am on the latest Canary build of Android Studio (2021.2.1 Canary 3) and trying to create a Virtual Device.
When i open the AVD manager, it says at the top:
No emulator installed.
with a Install Emulator button. When clicked, it says
The following packages are not available. Package id emulator.
I then headed over to SDK Tools but unfortunately, for me, "Android Emulator" is no more listed there under SDK Tools. (Check screenshot)
I tried manually downloading the emulator from dl.google.com/repository/..... and unzipped the files inside `Library/Android/sdk/emulator' but no changes reflected on Android Studio.
I am not sure if this is M1 chip specific but i have tried several solutions including upgrading/downgrading/fresh-installing Android Studio but with no luck at all.
Any leads will be very helpful.

seems the “JVM Debugger Memory View” is useful plugin. But could not find a way to install it.
With Android Studio 4.0.1, the preference/plugins is like:
But don't see how to install it in Android Studio 4.0.1?
Also saw a post https://hackernoon.com/a-useful-memory-debugger-plugin-for-android-studio-2d9d95bddc24, and it shows a button "Install JetBrains plugin…" in the plugin page, which I couldn't find in my Android Studio.
Anyone knows how to install the plugin “JVM Debugger Memory View”?
-- following #Rajab, but my Android studio 4.0.1 does not have the "Memory View icon in debug pane:
To install plugins you should change from installed pan to marketplace pan in android studio:

How to update SDK in Android Studio in the background

Today I'm trying to update the SDK in Android Studio on my Ubuntu, and looking for the menu that make the download process running in the background. So I want to download the SDK and continue to work in Android Studio.
As far as I can remember Eclipse has menu that can download in the background task so I can continue work while downloading.
I've tried to find the option in settings but I could not find it, and on the downloading GUI has no option to download it in the background, here is my screenshot:
Is anyone having the same issue here? How can I resolve this?
You can go to tools -> android -> sdk manager and click on Launch stand alone sdk manager hyperlink. This will open sdk manager outside android studio, select the packages and download. You can continue to work on android studio this way.
The "Launch standalone SDK Manager" option seems to be gone in Android Studio 2.3.3 for Windows. However, there is sdkmanager.bat in \tools\bin
It is possible to do it all by code using the sdkmanager tool.
The sdkmanager is a command line tool that allows you to view,
install, update, and uninstall packages for the Android SDK.
This is an example using the sdkmanager with the command line:
First at all, the sdkmanager is located in android_sdk/tools/bin/.
Go where the sdkmanager is located
List installed and available packages using this command:
sdkmanager --list
The result willl be something similar to this
In my case I want to Download a System Image with Release Name "P" with ABI x86 ( I saw this information from Android Studio)
The next step is to search that system image in your list
Finally install this package in this way:
./sdkmanager "system-images;android-P;google_apis;x86"
This will begin the process of downloading the package
After finish you can check that the image is available to use
For more info: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/sdkmanager.html#usage
Upgrade to latest version of Android Studio (Currently in 2.3.1).
It now support download (both SDK and plugins) in background.

AndroidStudio 15.1 emulator error 'mksdcard.exe' is missing from the SDK tools folder

My android studio 15.1 gives this error when i try to run an emulator and it does not allow me to click on the button AVD manager. please help
I was faceting the same error. When I had been trying to add a new Virtual Device Android Studio was telling me Android Emulator was not installed even though it was installed. If I was keeping trying to add to the virtual device it warned me to check logs.
Looking at my idea.log file I found the following message
'mksdcard' is missing from the SDK tools folder.
So I tried to reinstall Android Emulator from SDK Manager at Tools -> SDK Manager and it was solved.
