Android studio's emulator has an error "can't connect to camera" - android-studio

I'm connecting a webcam to my emulator by setting the front camera to "webcam0" in the AVD Manager.
When I launch the webcam from Android studio's AVD manager or using emulator -camera-front webcam0 , I get the following window:
and when the emulator has showed that is an error
Please help me how to fix that.

Go to Android Virtual device manager>>select the emulator>>click edit>>select Advanced Setting>>camera select as Emulated rather than Webcam0 .

I got this error on new android emulator and was able to fix it by selecting emulated options for both Front and Back camera and clearing Camera App's Cache & data.

The solution for me was : " start Android Studio via command line vs starting it the usual way " Doing so makes Webcam0 work inside the emulator.
On my Mac I simply typed
/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/studio
into terminal. I also used Automator later to create a workflow which runs the script (command above), and saved the workflow as an app.
Using such Android Studio launcher.app launches Android Studio.app for me via command line.

Android Studio:
Tools > AVD Manager
select the Device & click edit
click Show Advanced Setting
Camera select as Webcam0
Click >> Finish

Download the free personal use version of genymotion and use that emulator instead of the one that come with Android Studio.
Like you, I've been trying all morning to make my webcam work with the emulator that comes with android studio without success. 0 problems with genymotion so far.

In my case, just change configuration -> saved -> turn on device (cold boot notification will appear) -> then turn off device -> revert change -> turn on again.
I don't know but it works for me. Maybe it just cache problem. CMIIW.

but if you are using bluestack emulator or any other emulator.
then in emulator first open emulator camera then click photo of that
then again your own application in emulator and click button of camera ..i must be work ..

How to run Android Studio emulator on M1 Mac?

I'm having a devil of a time using the Android Emulator on my new M1 Mac. My Android project compiles fine, and I can run it on a hardware device. But I'm not able to run it on the Emulator.
I followed instructions carefully, and set up an arm64-based emulator running API 31. When I press the "Run" button in Android Studio, the emulator opens and boots normally. However, Android Studio is never able to launch my app on it. I see a message "Waiting for all target devices to come online", and that's it.
I have of course tried restarting the emulator, restarting Android Studio, rebooting my computer, and wiping the data from the emulator. I have also made sure that Developer mode is enabled in the emulated Android environment and "USB Debugging" is turned on.
Another suggestion I saw was to un-check "Enable ADB Integration" in Android Studio. This option doesn't exist in my copy of Android Studio, although I did some further research and found that it is now called "Use libusb backend" instead. It is unchecked by default. I tried checking it anyway, and that didn't help.
I'm at a loss as to what to do next. I really need to be able to test my app in the emulator as my inventory of physical devices is fairly limited.
Thanks,
Frank
Download Android Studio Preview, create emulator (API 30 or S), now you can use emulator on both preview or stable Android Studio.

android studio emulator not selectable

I want to start coding with flutter, so i decided to download android studio.I created an avd called "Pixel 2 API 28" with android pie. When i want to select the pixel 2 as the avd device, the programme tells me that theres no avd, but on the right i can see the avd i created. When i put my cursor on it, it says "not applicable for the main.dart configuration". i have HAXM installed and Hyper-V is disabled, but i also tried it with both being active. I used the default code, which appears when you launch android studio.
Please help!!!
Edit:
I somehow managed to select it now, but i get this error: Running multiple emulators with the same AVD is an experimental feature. Please use -read-only flag to enable this feature.
Try starting the emulator from avd and then check if the device is showing up there if not try running
flutter devices
If the device shows there you can try running
flutter run -d <your-device-name>
You can also check whether the android sdk is configured with flutter try running
flutter config --android-sdk /path/andriod/sdk
hope it helps
Close Android Studio and Run again as Administrator
This is Only the solution i got after working hard for 3 days.

Android studio, Bluestacks Installation failed due to: 'closed'

I am trying to build an android app using bluestacks (my phone died)
Android studio can see the emulator in the devices list but when i try to run my app, android studio throws this error:
Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed.
Installation failed due to: 'closed'
Retry
I have tried launching both android studio and bluestacks as administrator.
I have also tried opening the standalone device monitor in the SDK tools folder
This throws another error :
could not open Selected VM debug port(8700)
The error log of the monitor contains lots of errors of missing directories.
error log: https://pastebin.com/mmA83ch7
thanks
Go to Settings -> Preferences and Enable Android Debug Bridge, Enable android input debugging
So someone on the bluestacks team decided that putting an adb toggle in "Preferences" and not in "advanced" was a good idea,
also literally not on any other single post has anyone said to make sure adb was toggled on.
the seting is in Setings -> Preferences, at the bottom
Open BlueStacks Go to Settings -> Advanced and Enable Android Debug Bridge, Enable android input debugging
Restart Bluestack and then Android Studio, this will make the connection.
happy debugging :)

Android studio no longer detecting device after update

A few hours ago, my Android studio was working very fine. I could write, build and run on my test device (TECNO K7).
I decided to update my Android Studio to 3.5. The whole process went well except that I cannot find my device among the list of devices any longer. I have also tried with multiple devices, I got the same outcome. When I click on the run-button, the app runs on the Pixel 2 emulator. However, I want it to run on my device.
Here's a screenshot of what my menu looks like. Note that the device (TECNO K7) is currently connected:
Is there something I am doing wrong?
UPDATE:
I tried restarting my ADB server and I go the following error:
Unable to locate ADB.
I have also tried re-installing the following tools multiple times, still the same outcome:
Android SDK tools
Android SDK Build-Tools
Android SDK Platform-Tools
PS: For reference, I use Mac OS and it is also important to remember that my Android studio was working perfectly fine before the update.
Solution:
Drivers not installed: If the Android Physical device is not a Google/Nexus product than you have to download the OEM drivers of the particular model.
HAXM not installed properly : Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager must have not installed properly on your computer. Try reinstalling it directly from the options available in your SDK.
No proper Path : Sometimes though the files are available in the local system, The Android Studio is not guided with the accurate path name to reach the file.
Hope this will be useful to you.
After spending hours on this I found that the Studio update had un-assigned an SDK for my project.
Selecting File -> Project Structure, then selecting an SDK under 'Project SDK' immediately displayed the 'allow debug on this device' dialog on my phone, then within a few seconds after accepting it, the device showed up in the device list.
Go to:
File > Invalidate caches/Restart > Invalidate and Restart
That should work.
Before going to bellow steps make sure
Your "Google USB Driver" package is installed ("Tools" -> "SDK Manager" -> Check "Google USB Driver" -> "Apply" -> "Ok").
If you are trying to access with emulator then check "Intel x86 Emulator Accelarator(HAXM installer)" is instaled. ("Tools" -> "SDK Manager" -> Check "Intel x86 Emulator Accelarator(HAXM installer)"" -> "Apply" -> "Ok")
Go to Tools.
Then go to SDK Manager.
Open SDK tools.
Uncheck "Android SDK Platform-Tools" (On my case it was checked).
press apply then ok.
Again goto Tools.
Then goto SDK Manager.
Open SDK tools.
check "Android SDK Platform-Tools"
Restart Android Studio :)
Hope this will help somebody like me.
This option is definitely not the most optimal. I eventually deduced that the problem was with my HAXM and simply re-installing this would have solved the problem. If you face, this exact problem, simple re-install the HAXM in your SDK.
I hope this helps someone out there.

Android Studio selects wrong target device: always runs app on first selected one

How can I debug other than the first device in Android Studio?
I have two Genymotion devices Nexus 5 and Nexus 6, I can run both successfully but when I try to run/debug app from android studio no matter what device I choose it always runs first selected device.
Initially I thought it is genymotion issue but, it was not the case because same happens if I connect real device. Even though device appears in device chooser dialog but it looks like android studio internally doesn't see it.
Stopping debugging for current device before selecting new device helped me. (Red square)
Here is the solution
First: Go to run configuration in android studio
Then: Select the emulator you want
Finally: Run it
It's a bug in Android Studio, supossedly fixed in 1.5.1 but I have 1.5.1 and the bug is still present. Suggested workaround from Google dev is to "close the debug tab once it is done":
