AVD emulator error in android studio - android-studio

I'm a newbie, my problem is when I try to make a new AVD I get this message :
"an error occurred while creating the avd. see idea.log for details"
I just downloaded android studio , dunno what to do
this is from the log file : unable to find a 'userdata.img' file for ABI x86 to copy into the avd folder


If you are in linux, try this:
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
It worked for me!


You pasted x86_64 file inside the default folder
C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\system-images\android-29\default
Past it in android-29 folder not in default folder.


On windows:
Used 'Clone Device' option on device definition, it will add new device into list with appending '(edited)1' string.
select this clone device: press 'Next'
select this clone device: press 'Next'
select system image as per your requirement: press 'Next'
select 'Show Advance Setting' scroll down: in 'Memory and Storage' choose 'External file' (which is disable/gray-out in actual device but available in clone device) keep entry empty.
press 'Finish'
Hope this will solve your issue.


I had this same issue and after trying #Tiago Elias's answer, I got passed that stage but ran into another problem whereby the emulator could not launch. Surprisingly, all of these where happening because I did not install the Android Emulator from SDK Tools. To do this,
Open the SDK Manager
Select the SDK Tools tab, If Android Emulator is unchecked, then check it and click on OK.
You can now create a new emulator and run your app in it.


There might be several reason for this error, but this solution worked for me:
Go to your avd location "C:\Users.android\avd", delete all the files inside this, and create the AVD Emulators once again from the Android Studio.


Update for latest Android 2021 September - on Windows i deleted the SDK and reinstalled it, that fixed it for me.


when avd runs gradle build is running sudden error occured that:
Darkaction bar theme is not found and resource linking failed.

Error opening emulator from device selection dropdown

When I open emulator form device selection dropdown I have the following error, If I run it from AVD manager no error happens
How can I fix this?
emulator: WARNING: FeatureControlImpl.cpp:198: Failed to load advanced feature default setting:C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\lib\advancedFeaturesCanary.ini emulator: WARNING: encryption is off Failed to open /qemu.conf, err: 2 HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode. qemu: could not load PC BIOS 'bios-256k.bin'

Just go to the location showing in the Error Box, and after Sdk folder u will find folder name emulator & emulator-2 , in that case just delete emulator folder and rename emulator-2 to emulator.

It is possible the Android-Studio Emulator might not have been installed properly. Go to the AVD Manager window and a message saying "Emulator not installed" will be clearly visible. If that's the case, just install the Emulator(You might get a button or pop up for that there itself) & you will be good to go!

in VS code >>>the solution is Go for settings> Extension > Android Emulator Launcher Configuration then find your emulator path then copy it then paste it in the two boxes enter image description here

Android Studios error : Unable to locate adb location

I'm new to Android Studios. After trying to press play on my Pixel 3a device emulator on AVD Manager this pops up. Error Message : Unable to locate adb
However my emulator runs just fine, I just can't run the "flutter run" command and the flutter app on the emulator. Emulator
I'm on Android Studios 4.0. Here's what I've tried so far to solve this issue.
AVG Antivirus
I added the adb.exe path in the exception section of my antivirus. AVG Antivirus
Android SDK Location
I went to SDK Manager, pressed edit beside the Android SDK Location box. All SDK components are already updated. Android SDK LocationUpdated SDK Components
SDK Platform Tools
I unchecked and checked SDK Platform Tools on SDK Tools.
Platform Tools
I've tried everything but still no luck. It's been a week and it's getting really annoying. I really do hope someone can help me. Really much appreciate it. Thanks in advance 😊

I've been tearing my hair out about this since I updated to v4.0 about an hour ago! :) This is what worked for me in the end (the other solutions about stopping starting adb server etc. just didn't work at all). YMMV.
Go into SDK manager, and uninstall :
Android Emulator
SDK platform tools
SDK command line tools
Close SDK manager and/or android studio completely.
Make sure the directories for these tools under AppData/ .. /Sdk have all been removed properly. Just zap them if they haven't.
Restart Android Studio and re-install all these packages.
I did another stop/restart after this, just to be sure.
Step 3: Profit!
Seems that upgrading the existing packages maybe didn't work properly, even if AS thought it did.
Still seem to be having issues using the geolocator package now (which was working fine before, so thinking this is setup too), but the emulator is starting OK now with no adb issues.

I tried reinstalling Android SDK after deleting the platform-tools dir but with no success. What did work for me were the following steps:
In Android Studio go to File > Project Structure (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S in windows);
Under Project Settings>Project>Project SDK must have a valid Android SDK selected;
emulate a new device;
check if the adb daemon is running and recognizes the emulated device: open cmd prompt, run %ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools\adb.exe devices and it should list the device you have on atm.

If you already have installed the Sdk tools at ~/Android/Sdk, you can add this to your .bashrc or .zshrc, alias adb=/home/USER/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb (change USER to your user) and restarting android studio, not invalidate caches/restart but closing it and re-opening it, which should pick the new adb alias from the shell.

The answers didn't work for me. So I removed/uninstalled everything and install a new android studio.
How to remove android studio correcly:

Unable to launch android emulator. It gives me no avd specified

When I try to open emulator in Android studio. It gives me "unable to find adb" error also I tried to launch by cmd which is
cd C:\Users\EFE\Desktop\sdk\tools
emulator.exe
It gives me
emulator: ERROR: No AVD specified. Use '#foo' or '-avd foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'
I deleted my SDK Platform-Tools and reinstall it.
I don't have Android files in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools to fix it.
In my case it is C:\Users\EFE\AppData\Local\Android Open Source Project\Emulator and it doesn't have any platform-tools. I used the emulator yesterday perfectly. I think I played a game that has a protection program. I disabled the protection program but didn't solve my problem.
Reinstall the android studio and flutter but still have the same problem. When I try to open emulator via AVD manager. It gives me "unable to locate adb" and trying to open emulator but just black screen.

option 1:
emulator -avd Pixel_2_64
option 2:
emulator "#Pixel_2_64"
Have to use the quotation marks or use the avd flag.
# is used for argument splatting in PowerShell, hence the need for quoting; alternatively, you could have -escaped the # (emulator #Pixel_2_64)

Try to open your emulator width :
emulator -avd <name>
If not working, I create a .bat file on github for you : https://github.com/samuel3105/Android-AVD-windows.
You just have to launch the .bat file, type 1 to show your emulator, and enter the name of your emulator.

You can try to wipe the data of the particular device.
Go to -> Android Studio -> Tools -> AVD Manager -> [Select the down triangle on your chosen device] -> Wipe data.
Now retry.

Android Studio 3.6 : Unable to run apk on emulator or device

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.

Not able to connect adb after upgrate Android Studio to 3.4

unable to connect to adb.check the event log for a possible issue, verify that localhost entry is pointing to 127.0.0.1 or:: 1 for ipv4 or ipv6
Tried adb kill-server, restart, invalidate restart nothing works.
Same issue reported over here https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/130791561
Note: I have not added any file or anything in studio, it's fresh installed Studio after format a full system still issue is there.

Replace your platform-tools with this one and delete the other one.
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.0-windows.zip

I was also facing this issue in android Studio 3.4 version, but now I have fixed it , if you are using windows then follow these steps:
Download Platform tools from here
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.0-windows.zip
Extract downloaded zip file
Go To location "C:\Users\your_computer_user_name\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk" and Delete "Platform tools" folder
Copy and Paste, downloaded platform tool folder to above location
Now Go to your android studio and Rebuild your project Then run.

For Mac Users, follow these simple steps :
Just simply Navigate to Tools > SDK Manager> Android SDK>, then click on the Tab of SDK Tools, then look for Android SDK Platform-tools and update it.
Then the last step, Invalidate cache and restart your IDE, after that, then finally you restart your Mac. (Sometimes it's this step is unnecessary)
It will work out successfully.

Solution for Linux Users.
System info: Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1 , Android Studio 3.4.1
Issue description: Problem with platform tools.
Solution: Remove the folder manually and update SDK tools through Android Studio.
Step 1: Go to your Android SDK installation folder. By default under your home directory. Choose platform-tools and simply delete. (/home//Android/SDK)
Step 2: Open Android Studio and go to SDK Tools. (File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behaviour -> System Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools) By the moment you should be able to see Android SDK Platform Tools line unchecked.
Step 3: Put a check to install Platform Tools and press OK. Notice it'll relocate the folder to the directory where deleted.
Now that you re-installed the platform tools, restart the Android Studio and your deployment targets should show up.
If you don't install the platform tool back and ever try to build or run a project you'll get this IDE error. Just FYI :)
So that's all. Enjoy.
Happy coding

If you use Windows, you might have a corruption in api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll.
Try to update it - you can get the update from Microsoft's website.
You should check it - path/to/sdk/platform-tools and try to run adb.exe

When you update Sdk platform tools(which contains adb.exe) to release 28.0.2 and if you are using windows 8.1 then it needs few updates from windows.
As per SDK Platform tools release notes(https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools):
Updated Windows requirements : The platform tools now depend on the Windows Universal C Runtime, which is usually installed by default via Windows Update. If you see errors mentioning missing DLLs, you may need to manually fetch and install the runtime package."
Windows update url: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows
Prerequisite for Windows update url: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42327
Faced the exact same issue but after updating with prerequisite url first then the other url provided now it is working perfectly fine for me.

It worked for me by selecting -> Use libusb backend

This worked for me on Windows:
Goto cmd write %temp% hit enter -> delete all data from there.
Restart your Computer.
Open Android Studio now, it will work.

Clear all cache memory (related to Android Studio)
Restart ADB manually from Android Studio (first option)
Open Command prompt and got android sdk>platform-tools> adb kill-server
press enter
and again adb start-server
press enter
Restart ADB manually form Android Stidio (second option)
go to your (SDK store path) sdk>platform-tools>adb
press enter
ex. D drive > sdk>platform-tools>adb
Restart your system

Delete the platform-tools folder from the sdk and replacing with the same from your another pc. I am also facing this problem after updating to 3.4. If you face same problem please update to Android Studio 3.5 Canary Channel.

The reason is for ADB server problem. Simply re-run your adb.
(Go to your SDK folder then inside platform-tools folder you can see adb.exe. copy the path location and paste it in your computers system Environment variable. Set a new path there and paste the adb.exe file location there. hope it will solve )

If you are using Genymotion, there is an update that fix the problem.
Genymotion 3.0.2 (April 18th, 2019)
Corrections
We have fixed an
incompatibility with the adb tool bundled in the platform-tools 28.0.2
package of the Android SDK, which caused failures to start virtual
devices.
This new version of adb changed the behavior of the “adb connect
:” command by making the “port” part mandatory. This
broke Genymotion Desktop in a few places where it did not pass the
port. We have adjusted the way we call “adb connect” and also updated
the version we ship with the product to match the one in
platform-tools 28.0.2.

If non of the above answers worked for you (as same happend to me), down grade to the old version of Android Studio by following these steps:
Uninstall current Android Studio
Go to Android Studio Archive and download any older version
After installation, Open the project. You might see an error like this
This version of Android Studio cannot open this project, please retry with Android Studio 3.4 or newer.
Now, open project gradle and update classpath tools.build version. I.e. in my case Android studio version is 3.2 and classpath 3.2.1
Hope it might save someone time.

I faced this issue last night, and I tried these methods to fix:
download older platform-tools and place it in the android sdk folder.(not work for me)
adb kill-server, adb start-server.(not work for me, adb had no response with these cmd)
kill the process that occupies port 5037.(for me, there is no other .exe run at this port)
reinstall platform-tools in Android Studio.(not work)
download ADB Kits and replace them in platform-tools folder.(work!!!)
It seems that my adb file has been modified or replaced by some programs. You can try these methods, and I hope some of them can work for you.

I had this issue only after a Genymotion update, on Mac.
What worked for me: Open Genymotion preferences, Select ADB, choose "Use custom Android SDK tools" and points to your Android SDK folder.

Actually the problem is not with the android studio version 3.4
Problem is with the android platform tools version which is latest one 29.
So install the previous version of the android platform tools version it will solve your problem. as above #Ved mentioned.

EndTask adb.exe from Background processes (TaskManager) and Run Application again.
It works for me
