I've installed the newest version of Android Studio with the installer on my Windows 10, currently it's version 2021.3.1.17 Dolphin.
Upon launching it, the splash screen appears and the little bar loads to the end and then it gets stuck indefinitely on that screen. All I'm seeing is this:
I've tried the following stuff already:
Completely uninstalling Android Studio, making sure all the files have been removed correctly before re-installing it (except the JetBrains folder, since I have other JetBrains stuff in it)
Re-Downloading the installer from the official Android Studio Website to make sure it was not corrupted.
Run as Administrator.
Was previously installed on a non-primary drive D:/, and I've also tried installing it on my primary drive C:/ just in case, same issue with C:/ installation too.
Ran studio.bat to see any errors, however, I'm assuming that bat file itself is buggy. It tells me that it does not find any JRE or JDK installation within the path. So to fix it I've set the newest Oracle JDK19 as my JAVA_HOME and the /bin accordingly, however, the studio.bat will then continue a long java error which seems honestly unfixable, so I won't even bother posting it here. Me setting the path shouldn't even be necessary, as Android Studio comes bundled with a JDK... and it should be using that one anyway.
So I'm out of things to try. I cannot make it work. My only lead was the Java error, but according to some Google search, I shouldn't even have to deal with it as it comes bundled with Android Studio. Looking into the files, there is indeed a jre folder within the Android Studio installation. Is it not using that one? What could be the reason that it is not using it if that is the case?
So, I was able to fix it myself after trying a few hours more. I've had also other Java installations (Java JDK 8, JDK 19) that interfered somehow with Android Studio. I've uninstalled everything related to Android Studio and I've uninstalled every Java version I had.
Additionally, I've removed every reference to Java or Android Studio from all of my system and environment variables. Also removed a path to Android SDK that was within my system variables.
After rebooting and installing Android Studio, it worked. Haven't installed any Java version so far, so not sure if the issues will return if I install my Java versions again.
After Updating Android Studio to the version 3.6, I am unable to install an app directly to device by using Run button.
It just updates the gradle and shows gradle updated popup that's it.
I tried invalidating cache and recreating the emulator device but no luck yet.
Let me know if anyone could help as am creating APK and installing it manually in emulator.
I have installed the Android Studio 3.6 and suddenly existing project stopped running. I tried the following thing and it worked.
Android Studio -> Run -> Edit Configurations -> Installation options -> Select Nothing instead of Default apk.
I am not able to post this as comment, but maybe someone finds this info useful.
I faced same problem after updating Android Studio to 3.6.1 on Mac OS.
I tried to use gradle task for installing and launching my application and I found strange log in console about missing adb in platform-tools folder.
So, as result: after update folder platform-tools was moved into folder with same name (was: sdk/platform-tools become: sdk/platform-tools/platform-tools). I just move it manually back and everything is worked as a charm.
Hope it helps.
I have installed Android Studio 3.6 yesterday. I have tried both way to install APK.
Directly by Run button. [DEVICE - Working, Emulator - Working]
Generated APK, Drag and Drop to Emulator. (Its also working)
Hope It will work for you too. Just drag n drop APK file to emulator.
Bonus - May your emulator is older, You can update your Emulator from
SDK Manager and Create New.

Switching back to Android 2.2.2 did not help either. Successfully able to build from command Line though(MacOX Terminal)
Delete your $HOME/.gradle directory (or on Windows, %HOME%\.gradle folder). The next execution of gradle will rebuild this. (It will require some downloads, so make sure you have an internet connection).
You can try just deleting $HOME/.gradle/caches, but this will not solve the problem in all cases.
I have similar issue on 2.3.1
I tried using the Android 2.4 Preview 4 but that did not help. I am able to build from command line too.
Android-Studio-2.3.1-Gradle-Sync
It happens when Android Studio creates two instances of gradle. I tried clearing the gradle cache or even deleting the .gradle but did not help. All this problem started when I deleted my old project repo and re-pulled it and imported to my Android Studio.
Best is to delete all your gradle instance from your home directly before your re-import your project Android Studio.
Android Studio started behaving like this after I tried building with the command line(osx) using ./gradlew
What helps is running the studio with sudo:
sudo /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/studio
I wonder if theres a fix to this problem that allows the studio to be started normally as well.
I use:
Windows 7
Android Studio 1.3.2
Genymotion 2.5.4
VirtualBox 5.0.4r
Yesterday, it run correctly. However my C disk is run out of space so i decided to uninstall Andriod Studio, Genymotion and VB. Now I installed it in disk E and i show problem
Genymotion: Genymotion directory: E:\Program
Files\Genymobile\Genymotion
Genymotion: Trying to initialize engine
Genymotion: Invalid path: VBoxManage
Genymotion: Initialize Engine: failed
I already tried some solutions from same topic but not work so far, seem like my case is different. Any one have same issue? Any suggestion? Thanks
Using Windows 10 here, same issue, added the VirtualBox binary directory to the system path and it still failed, so it's not obvious what exactly it's looking for. But I do have Android Studio in a non-standard location too -- I think it's likely that there's a hardcoded relative path in there that's cracking on use. May not be a fix except to reinstall Android Studio where it wants to go...
However, per another answer, if you can start the image in Genymotion the Debug button will be able to see it and connect to it and you can maybe live without the integrated Genymotion device manager until they fix this.
Maybe the file "reg.exe"(in X:\Genymotion) lose, you must get it from genymotion-2.5.3-vbox.exe
I am having the same issue, and while searching I come across this post here that says the plugin (at least for eclipse) doesn't work with Virtual Box version newer than 4.2. I am not sure if this will help but it is worth looking in to.
EDIT:: There was an update to Android Studio to 1.4 and an update to the Genymotion plugin to 1.0.6. It fixes this issue. I updated yesterday and it works like a charm.
When I start Android Studio, it shows popup regarding new update of 1.1 release. But when I start updating, After downloading all patch files, while restarting, it shows following error:
I searched almost everywhere on Google and Stackoverflow. There are already two questions on so: this and this. But none of them are have any correct answer. I also tried running as administrator, restarting PC, turning off the firewall, uninstalling antivirus. But none of them worked.
I am using windows 7 32-bit. How to solve this problem? Can anyone help?
I know this is an older question but I encountered the same error while updating SDK components in Android Studio 2.3.3. I was able to fix the problem by starting the SDK manager and un-checking the components that showed the error and clicked "Apply". That un-installed just that component. When it was finished, I re-checked the component and clicked "Apply" again. When it was finished, the problematic component was updated to the newest version. This was much quicker than doing a full un-install/re-install as stated in one of the solutions above.
Hope this helps someone.
This is another option, it is not much easier than reinstalling but at least you don't have to worry about your settings getting lost
Go to help->about and note the version you currently have installed
Download zip file for your current version at https://developer.android.com/studio/archive
Manually overwrite conflicted files with files from zip
Update normally
I had a similar problem on some other files and could not figure it out.
You should download the last Android Studio version and remove the old one.
It appears like the only way to bypass this error and successfully update Android Studio is to uninstall and reinstall it.
Before uninstalling, make a backup of your IDE settings through File | Export Settings.
Download the "No SDK tools included" exe from the Other Downloads section. Avoid using download accelerators as they often mess up the downloads from https://dl.google.com .
In the Install Wizard, you may uncheck to update AVD if you use Genymotion and don't need Google's Android emulator.
Use the JetBrains Toolbox for Android Studio update, problem solved. No need to mess with the file permissions. Especially on company devices.
I had this issue on Ubuntu 18.04 when tried to update Android Studio from 3.4 to 3.5 version. I have changed Android Studio directory's ownership to my user:
sudo chown -R <username> /opt/android-studio
It resolved all but one errors for me, because I still had a jre/bin/java - Access Denied error, which I have resolved by killing its process:
# The second column of this command's output is PID.
ps -aux | grep /opt/android-studio/jre/bin/java
kill <PID>
It might also happen that you need to logout and and re login as admin user in your system.
Update the Android studio [in admin user].
Re login as a previous user.
You should check the JDK Location settings, which appears be changed on every Android Studio update, with commands ctrl + Alt + Shift + S (to reveal the Project Structure menu options, and uncheck the Use embedded JDK and find your current JDK Location, on windows machines, you can see that location on environment variables JAVA_HOME.
There is a workaround, try deleting or moving the files that are causing the conflicts to another folder when the Update starts NOT BEFORE! That worked for me.
I know this is a very old question, but I face this issue almost every time I try to update my studio. Only solution I know which works for sure is clean install of studio....which is time consuming. So the solution is when you get to know the name of the file, search the location of that folder containing specified file. Check if that folder has lock icon on it, if it has then change the sharing settings to everyone and share the folder. If it does not have the lock icon on the folder check if it is in read-only mode. This worked for me hopefully someone finds this useful.
Cheers.
I had a similar problem. What I did was to make sure of the whole folder's ownership. For some reason, some files where owned by root, so I changed it to my ownership. In linux you can use the followoing command on the Android Studio folder:
sudo chown yourusername:yourusername -R android-studio-folder
I just tried again and everything updated successfully. Hope it helps!
The only solution worked for me is I have reinstalled Android Studio the latest version without uninstalling manually it and when starting the installer it asked me to uninstall and said that your settings will not be lost so I checked the uninstall and everything went smooth without any problems and got the latest version installed and all my settings the same.
I had this symptom when updating from Android Studio 3.4.2 to 3.5.
In my case, the affected file was plugins/Kotlin/kotlinc/bin/kotlinc.
The cause turned out to be that while the file's contents had not been modified at all... the Unix permissions bits on it had been.
Specifically, this was a file that comes as non-executable, and I had at some point chmod'd it to executable (because it should be) in order to use it from the command line.
The fix was to set those permissions bits back, with chmod:
$ chmod a-x /PATH/TO/android-studio/plugins/Kotlin/kotlinc/bin/*
This probably isn't a super common cause for this symptom, but hopefully it will be helpful to someone else. :-) I certainly didn't remember making that change, though once I spotted it I know exactly why I made it.
You can found the files in the android-sdk folder, and delete those files, and check your permission of the folder(android-sdk, build-tools, tools), if your can write, and download again.
I solve the issue.
I had the same error when upgrading from 3.1.x to 3.5.x. What worked for me was downloading the new Android Studio image from https://developer.android.com/studio and installing it (when asking me if I want to replace the old version I said yes). Everything seems to work fine now.
I also had the same error when upgrading from 3.5 to 3.6, I managed to solve this without losing any sdk platforms and virtual machines in avd by installing the latest version of android,First Export the settings and then delete the two folders ".AndroidStudio3.x" in home directory and the "android-studio" in /usr/local or /opt directory, then download the zip file of latest version of android studio and move the "android-studio" folder to /usr/local or /opt. Now run the /android-studio/bin/studio.sh and import the settings,Now Latest version will be installed.
I got this error when I was trying to upgrade Android Studio using a different user account to the account that installed Android Studio (the account had admin privileges). When I switched to the account which installed Android Studio I was able to upgrade without this problem happening.
I have had a similar issue and solved it. Some documents were encrypted by the software installed on my PC, so updating to Android Studio 3.6 was not possible (in fact every update I have the same issue).
To solve it, just find those files in the Android Studio installation folder (probably Program Files/Android) and decrypt it. After that, you should be good to go. I hope it helps!
