Yesterday, I installed Android Studio's latest version on Ubuntu. Everything ran fine, until I ran the "Hello World!" program. It asked me to create a virtual device. While creating the device, it shows me an error that the AVD manager cannot find a system image. This makes no sense since I have already installed the latest SDK (API level 25, Android 7.1.1). I downloaded the system image from the AVD manager itself, but to no avail.
Can someone help me sort the damn thing out? I switched from Windows to Linux due to the plethora of problems with Android Studio on Windows. But the thing's bugging once again. Here is a screen shot:

I am having trouble running an .apk file on an emulator in android studio (4.2.2). I am using an M1 chip Mac so I've chosen the S api with arm64 CPU. I cannot seem to get android studio to recognize the emulator is running. I've attached an image to show that the emulator is running properly . Any help would be appreciated! I've tried wiping the emulated data as well as reinstalling the emulator. For reference I am using Andoid Emulator version 30.7.5 and Android SDK tools version 30.0.2.
Wiping emulator data solved it for me
I'm having trouble getting my emulator to work on my m1 mac. Currently, I am waiting on my physical android phone to arrive so I have to use an emulator for the moment. I have looked at the official google repo (https://github.com/google/android-emulator-m1-preview) for the m1 preview and I noticed it said "Support for downloading the M1-based emulator was added to SDK Manager, so it's not necessary to go to the Github releases page to download a standalone .app anymore. In AVD Manager go to the Other Images tab as by default it doesn't show the ARM64 images." However, I can't seem to find which SDK to download in the SDK manager as every time I attempt to cold boot a virtual device it simply returns the error "Could Not Start AVD".
Sorry if this has been asked before. Couldn't seem to find any posts about it.
So it took some time but I figured it out. In the updated Android Studio you have to create a new virtual device for ARM based machines. Once you select your new device and you get to what android release you would like to run, hit the "other" column. Now you have a list of some of the ARM based Virtual Devices.
Here is a link to a post I found that helped:
Android Studio - How Can I Make an AVD With ARM Instead of HAXM?
Android Studio Dolphin, Virtual Device Manager, now includes arm64a-v8a for Tiramisu API level 33, which works well for M1 mac.
First post--be gentle. Can't find any posts on Android Studio 4.0, so I hope this isn't a repeat. I updated Android Studio from 3.6.3 to 4.0 on Windows 10 (1909). Had created a couple of virtual devices in 3.6.3 (a Pixel 2 running API 28 and a Pixel 3 running API 29)--both worked great in AS-3.6.3 and I could develop apps, compile, load, and run them with no problem.
After the update to AS-4.0, the virtual devices no longer appear in the devices box at the top of the GUI--it just says "No Devices". When I open the AVD Manager, I can see them, and I can start them (although when I start them I get a pop-up saying "AVD Manager: Unable to locate adb"), but I can't get any code to download and execute on it. On the Pixel 3 emulator, I also get another pop-up saying "Detected ADB: Could not automatically detect an ADB binary.", and it gives instructions to resolve it, which don't make any difference (jump into extended controls and toggle "Use detected ADB location").
When I try to open a past project and run it, I get the same behavior--no devices found.
I've also tried making new emulators, hoping the new setup would recognize them, but to no avail. Tried starting and restarting AS, as well as the computer, also to no avail. I have Android SDK Build-Tools 30-rc4, the latest Android SDK Command-line Tools, Android Emulator 30.0.12 Android SDK Platform-Tools 30.0.1, and the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator all installed.
I've Googled and spoken words of fierce power over this for several days now. Any suggestions for how to get AS-4.0 to recognize the emulators? I've resisted uninstalling everything and starting over--was hoping it was just a configuration thing.
Thanks in advance,

After some more Googling, I found the answer here (I think my constraint of wanting an answer for AS-4.0 specifically kept me from finding it):
Could not automatically detect an ADB binary - Android Studio
I had to redownload the SDK platform-tools zip file and reinstall it. I don't know why the old one got messed up with the migration from AS-3.6.3 to 4.0, but there you go--such is life with complicated software.
As soon as I replaced the old platform-tools directory with the new one, all my old emulators showed up and I was back in business.
Thanks anyway!

I am trying to run my app on canary build of the android emulator from android studio on AMD processor but I am getting the following error
1:47 PM Emulator: [2440]:INFO:android/android-emu/android/verified-
boot/load_config.cpp:236:Verified boot params were not found.
1:47 PM Emulator: **
1:47 PM Emulator: ERROR:/usr/local/google/buildbot/src/android/emu-master-
dev/external/qemu/fpu/softfloat.c:486:round_canonical: code should not be
reached
1:47 PM Emulator: Process finished with exit code 3
I got to know about the canary build of the android emulator for AMD processor from here. My virtual device' CPU/ABI is armeabi-v7a. I searched for what the 'exit code 3' for the emulator mean but I didn't get any solution.
Can someone help me please!
I got the android emulator working today.
I have done the instalation process for canary build of android studio from the beginning:
1. Enabled "Hyper-V" and "Windows Hypervisor Platform" in "Turn Windows features on or off" settings of Windows. This has been explained in here.
2. Downloaded the latest Canary build of Android studio from here.
3. After downloading the zip file I followed the guidelines in here under "Install alongside your stable version" heading. The guide lines are:
a. Unpack the ZIP file.
b. Rename the resulting folder to something unique like "Android Studio Preview."
c. Move it to a permanent location, such as next to your existing Android Studio install in C:\Program Files\Android.
d. Inside C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio Preview\bin\, launch studio64.exe (or if you're on a 32-bit machine, launch studio.exe).
4. After launching studio64.exe I got a pop-up message to update Android emulator. After the update I created a new virtual device with an image of x86 with android 9.0. I started the android emulator to test my app. Though I got the
Verified boot params were not found
popup error message initially, the emulator started functioning well.
I am a very new Android developer and was until today having the same issue as yourself. Here is how I got it to work (Please note I am also on an AMD system).
Make sure you have enabled Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platform. If you type "turn windows features on" in your run bar you should be able to locate it. Also enable virtualisation in the Bios. Mine comes under "SVD".
(Please note after this step I was still experiencing the problem but this is a pre-requisite).
Delete all devices from the AVD manager.
Install a new x86 device from the AVD manager. What I did here was select a version down from the one I was previously getting issues on so Oreo from Pie. When it asks to confirm if you want to wipe the user data please confirm positive.
Once setup, run the device from the AVD manager. It may ask you if you wish to enable Instant Run. I elected to disable this. (I had enabled it when I first was trying to run a device).
You will still receive the 1st error regarding no boot parameters but the emulated environment should load. You can now run the APP and it should install the APK. Previously due to the device not coming online properly, the APK would not install. I can also now setup a device on Pie without experiencing the issue so I think it may have been the wiping of the previous data that helped.
I wish I could tell you WHY this worked for certain and previously it would not work, sadly I cannot but hopefully this will get you working.
I've searched all over the web for the past 3 days and can't seem to find a solution. I've done everything mentioned in this post:
Android emulator not showing in Visual Studio
It seems all the 'working' solutions to this problem has been stated in what this guy says he did in his original post, including restarting ADB server (kill and start), restarting my computer, reinstalling emulator and HAMX, installing and running as an admin, changing the timeout delay, reinstalling almost everything, making sure my emulator is installed, etc.
It keeps saying Gradle build finished in 475ms, etc and then waiting for target device to come online for like 5-10 minutes and nothing happens. No emulator shows up. I can't seem to find the solution to this and I am on the verge of giving up, I really need Android Studio to work so I can start on my app.
Can I please get some guidance with this?
If it's relevant, I'm using a Mac.
Have you tried this. Go to the emulator settings and set the Graphics Emulation mode to Software GLES. The default mode will be automatic. I am not sure how it works, but that worked for me on two Linux machines. Being software emulation, the performance of the emulator will not be as good as when using hardware graphics. It seems to be a bug with the SDK.
For me the only thing that worked in macos was to disable docker before starting Studio.
Wipe the data of your Android virtual Device and then start the emulator.
I was using Android studio 4.2 and faced this issue.
No Solutions worked for me so I just erased android studio files. Updated to Android Studio Arctic Fox.
