Can't find Genymotion.app - android-studio

I am unable to test my application on Android studio via genymotion.
Genymotion warning: You must specify the path to the Genymotion folder to use this feature.
when trying to location Genymotion.app I get this error: "Cannot find Genymotion in the specified path"
this is the path I entered for genymotion.app:
C:\Users\Rua\AppData\Local\Genymobile\Genymotion

On Mac,this is my solution:
/Applications/Genymotion.app/Contents/MacOS/player.app

Using Windows
First off, you need to install Genymotion. Go to https://www.genymotion.com/#!/pricing and download and install it.
The default path is on Windows
C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion
And that's what you enter in the Android Studio prompt window.
Using Mac
Following this tutorial, the default path on Mac seems to be
/Applications/Genymotion.app

If you already installed the Genymotion and VirtualBox, you can add
/Applications/Genymotion.app
when you click Genymotion Device Manager in Android Studio.
Verified on MacBook Pro (OS X 10.11.6 EI CAPTAIN).

if you are receiving this error that means that you do not have the genymotion app installed on your Mac
you can to download a .DMG file from here and install it by double clicking on it
you can try and run the installed app but it still won't run as it is missing the underlying virtual machine tool
to run genymotion you need virtualBox Guys at genymotion have mentioned their preferred choice as 4.3.12 which you can download from here
Once downloaded you can double click on the .DMG file and then the .pkg (package file) and then follow the normal installation procedure
once you have the virtual box installed then you can run the genymotion app and you will get there was supposed to be an image here
I was posting an image which would have helped you but SO says i need 10 reputation points to post images. then i decided to help you by posting an imgur url and SO says i need 10 reputations to post more than 2 links
kind request to SO either give me more reputation points or make it easy for me to help others
Now you Gennymotion is finally installed just go ahead and create a new virtual device
and once you have created a new virtual device you can access that device from the Gennymotion Android Studio Plugin
Hope this helps

Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD, but I already installed it

I've been looking online for this and it seems like no one has the same problem as I have. I just downloaded Android Studio to start learning Kotlin and after following Google's tutorial steps I get this message: enter image description here
After that I hit ok to Install the HAXM thing and it says successful but It goes back to the same message of HAXM needs to be installed. I tried SDK manager --> SDK tools --> Intel x86 Emmulator Accelerator (turn on), It didnt work. Someone help, please
Go to your SDK directory:
(C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk, generally).
In this directory, go to:
extras → Intel → Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "haxm-7.6.5-setup.exe".
After you install, android studio will detect it. If not, restart android studio.
What I did was I opened the SDK Manager > SDK Tools tab and checked Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer), 7.6.5 and installed.
In the window displaying the installation progress, click on the Show details button and you'll see a log, not quite long. At some point you'll come accross something like "Path for download "C:\Users<YOUR_USER>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager"). In my case it said that this folder already existed, so it was downloding it to folder ...\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager-2 instead.
Once it's done, go to that folder and you should find a file named "haxm-7.6.5-setup". Run it and it will install HAXM. Now you'll be able to run your emulator, even if the message "HAXM is not installed" keeps appearing.

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.
Ved link:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.0-windows.zip
EndTask adb.exe from Background processes (TaskManager) and Run Application again.
It works for me

Aldebaran's Pepper sdk for android/Robot sdk 0.9 "Robot SDK'0.9' is not complete. Please download it again or re-create the robot application."

When trying to install the android sdk for Aldebaran's pepper robot on my computer following this official tutorial:
Step 1: android.aldebaran.com/doc/installation.html
Step 2: android.aldebaran.com/doc/create_project.html#create-project
When trying to launch the Virtual Robot Environment of Pepper's tablet on my computer this message is printed: "Robot SDK'0.9' is not complete. Please download it again or re-create the robot application."
So far I have tried the following on my Ubuntu 16.04 64bit computer:
Uninstalling and re-downloading/installing the Robot sdk over the robot sdk manager provided by the android sdk for Pepper
Uninstalling and re-downloading/installing the android sdk for Pepper
Deleting, recreating and creating the android studio application turning it into a robot application
Removing other non essential android sdks
Moreover I also tried the following on another computer running windows 8.1 64bit:
Repeating the tutorial installation
Downloading and installing older version such as 2.22 and 2.11 of the android studio and repeating the tutorial installation.
Each time after I have completed Steps 1 & 2 when I want to start building or launching the application it fails on step B from this tutorial: android.aldebaran.com/doc/run_debug.html#run-debug and prints the Error mentioned above.
The project structure is identical to the one in the tutorial and I am able to sync the project via maven. But as I cannot actually launch the virtual robot environment or run the application I cannot make use of this sdk.
I have also found a similar question being asked on stackoverflow but there hasn't been a response yet. Also I don't understand the comments.
stackoverflow.com/questions/42824942/robot-sdk-0-9-is-not-complete-please-download-it-again-or-re-create-the-robot-a
I tried using another computer with windows 10 64bit freshly formatted so I installed Java jdk & jre 1.8.0_121 and android studio 2.3.1 as I couldn't find 2.3.3:
Repeated the tutorial installation
But still the same error message.
I got mine to work doing the following:
go to your current android SDK folder
rename the tools folder to tools-old
create a new Folder named tools
download this: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/android-emulator/+archive/android-7.1.1_r1/windows.tar.gz
unpacke it into your new tools folder
Make sure you have your AVD Options set to arm and not x86
and that "Use Host GPU" is enabled
After that the emulator worked.(note that it takes quite long to launche)
The suspected cause is that the Pepper emulator tries to use the emulator-arm.exe wich is not availible in the standart installation of Android Studio
You should try installing Android Studio 2.3.3 on Windows 10, 64-bit. I know that works at least.
I got this working finally thanks to theGary's hint above. No need to wipe out your whole tools directory though -- I was able to get the x86 Pepper emulator running (on Mac in my case) by copying these files and directories from the Android sdk/emulator directory into the sdk/tools directory:
emulator64-x84
qemu
bin64
lib/pc-bios
lib/ca-bundle.pem
Then edit your run/debug configurations and change the “robot app” AVD options from armeabi-v7 to x86.

Unable to create a virtual device: Unable to create Android virtual device

While installing Android studio 2.1 version and it downloaded the required components and end of the detailed view logs it shows,
Android SDK is up to date.
Running Intel® HAXM installer
Intel HAXM installed successfully!
Creating Android virtual device
Unable to create a virtual device: Unable to create Android virtual device
I'm running Android studio for the first time in Windows 7.
Screenshot:
And after opening the Andriod studio and running a sample app, I get the error
Error while waiting for device: Could not start AVD
Why is it unable to create a virtual device and how can I solve the problem?
All what you can do with that screen is just to click finish.
The problem that you may get as a result is failing in creating a first Virtual Device for you because its config file is either missing (not created) or corrupted !
So what you would do is just to create your own new Virtual Device and delete the corrupted one!
Even though I don't know what exactly caused the avd creation problem in a new laptop. I did exactly the same thing as user #Jamalla posted. I clicked finish and tried to run my sample app in the existing emulator. As Jamalla pointed out the config.ini file was corrupted. So I deleted the existing AVD and created a new one. But I couldn't start it either because my VT was not enabled in my BIOS.
After enabling my VTx in BIOS menu I was able to start the AVD with no issues.
I had a problem running emulator on OSX El Capatain. It turned out .android directory owner was root. I have changed the ownership resolved the problem.
I am running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, I installed some 32-bit libraries as stated in installation instructions on the Android Studio web page with the following command:
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 libbz2-1.0:i386
After the above command I reinstalled the Android Studio the problem disappeared.

Genymotion Invalid path: VBoxManage and Initialize Engine: failed

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.
