My questions
Why Android Emulator does not work?
and
Why is there this error? :
CordovaError: Could not find either `android` or `avdmanager` on your $PATH! Are you sure the Android SDK is installed and available?
I solved my problem.
How did I do it?
I opened Android Studio, and went to the SDK Manager.
I clicked on the SDK Tools tab, and in the list displayed, I checked: Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest)
I then clicked on Apply (then OK on the pop-up) to download the package in question.
I added the path of avdmanager to PATH in my .bash_profile
I have run source ~ / .bash_profile to refresh
And I launched my command: cordova emulate android --verbose successfully since the emulator has opened well.
Without Android Studio, merely with Android Command Line Tools from Android SDK. Be sure these Android Command Line Tools (such as sdkmanager or avdmanager) are in the PATH, otherwise run them using the full path (for Debian/Ubuntu see this to install Android SDK).
Install the emulador
sdkmanager --install "emulator"
Install the platforms, example for Android API 32 and 33 (Android 12 and 13 respectively):
sdkmanager --install "system-images;android-32;google_apis;x86_64"
sdkmanager --install "system-images;android-33;google_apis;x86_64"
Create the Android Virtual Device (AVD), example:
avdmanager create avd -n emulator32 -k "system-images;android-32;google_apis;x86_64"
Confirm that was installed
avdmanager list avd
Run
cordova emulate android --target=emulator32

It asks me to mark the location of the sdk file in the adb section of the genymotion emulator.
However, android studio is not installed on my computer. Therefore, there is no Android/sdk file in C:\Users\Win10\AppData\Local. In short, do I have to install android studio to use genymotion emulator in vs code program?
Solve the problem by downloading command tool files and running sdkmanager.bat without using android studio.
You can download the android sdk using command lines tools without the use of android studio
Once installed run the sdkManager in a command line tools. The sdkmanager is a command line tool that allows you to view, install, update, and uninstall packages for the Android SDK.
List installed and available packages
sdkmanager --list [options] \
[--channel=channel_id] // Channels: 0 (stable), 1 (beta), 2 (dev), or 3 (canary)
Use the channel option to include a package from a channel up to and including channel_id. For example, specify the canary channel to list packages from all channels.
Install packages
sdkmanager packages [options]
I am trying to run the ionic android build on Mac and directly installing on the device.
ionic cordova emulate android
I am running the above command.
But it is throwing this error:
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_181.jdk/Contents/Home
(node:24957) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: CordovaError: No emulator images (avds) found.
1. Download desired System Image by running: /Users/manishkumar/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android sdk
2. Create an AVD by running: /Users/manishkumar/Library/Android/sdk/tools/android avd
I tried the below commands but it is throwing this error
android sdk
The "android" command is deprecated.
For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager
*************************************************************************
Invalid or unsupported command "sdk"
Supported commands are:
android list target
android list avd
android list device
android create avd
android move avd
android delete avd
android list sdk
android update sdk
It is very confusing on Mac
System macOS 10.14.2
I am trying to install and run an Android Virtual Device from the command line on Windows (without Android Studio). I have set up an Android SDK in C:\Android, and successfully created an AVD with the command:
avdmanager create avd -n test -k "system-images;android-26;google_apis_playstore;x86" --abi google_apis_playstore/x86
I have environment variable ANDROID_SDK_ROOT set to C:\Android.
When I try to start the emulator from the command line with:
emulator #test
I get errors:
emulator: ERROR: can't find SDK installation directory
emulator: could not find virtual device named 'test'
I have also tried setting environment variables ANDROID_AVD_HOME and ANDROID_EMULATOR_HOME, and also tried running the AVD specifying sysdir and datadir with the command:
emulator #test -sysdir C:\Android\system-images\android-26\google_apis_playstore\x86 -datadir C:\Android\avd
but I get the same errors.
When I run command avdmanager.bat list avd, I get:
Name: test
Path: C:\Android\avd\test.avd
Target: Google Play (Google Inc.)
Based on: Android API 26 Tag/ABI: google_apis_playstore/x86
Why on earth can't I run the AVD?
I found the problem. Because I was trying to do a minimal Android SDK install via the command line, I did not yet have a platform-tools folder. Not being able to find the platform-tools folder was causing the emulator to display the unhelpful error "can't find SDK installation directory", which really meant "can't find the platform-tools directory".
Once I installed the platform-tools folder with sdkmanager --no_https "platform-tools", the emulator worked. I need --no_https because I'm in a crippled corporate environment.
For future reference, I installed the emulator dependencies (after unzipping sdk-tools-windows-3859397.zip from here) with:
sdkmanager --no_https "system-images;android-26;google_apis_playstore;x86" "platforms;android-26" "platform-tools" "emulator"
With the package "platform-tools", it may also required to install "platforms;android-26" for your Android 26.
Using sdkmanager.bat platforms;android-30 --sdk_root=C:\your_avd_sdk_root to install it.
If still not working, try to run command below:
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_SDK_ROOT%\emulator
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_SDK_ROOT%\emulator\bin64
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_SDK_ROOT%\platform-tools
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_SDK_ROOT%\cmdline-tools\latest\bin
Previously we could open Android SDK Manager like this:
$ cd sdk_path/tools/
$ ./android sdk
and result:
But when I ran same commands, I get this message:
The android command is no longer available.
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager
How can I open GUI Android SDK Manager?
OS: Xubuntu x64
I have the same problem on linux. Download the lates Android SDK 26.0.1, but can't load GUI sdk manager.
Solution:
I found previous version here: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5425-android-sdk.html
Unpack and run from the console /tools/android
And then GUI sdk manager run's
Go to sdkfolder/tools. There is a file named just android
In a terminal run the command:
./android
I try to execute an application implemented using Ionic within the Genymotion Android emulator.
To create my application, I did the following:
$ ionic start myApp blank
$ ionic platform android
$ ionic run android
Notice that I executed the last command after having started a virtual terminal (Sony Xperia Z for example).
I have the following error:
Running command: /(...)/myApp/hooks/after_prepare/010_add_platform_class.js /(...)/myApp
add to body class: platform-android
Running command: /(...)/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/build

Error: /(...)/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2
I don't understand why I need to have an ANDROID_HOME set since it's not the thing I want to use...
I installed then an Android SDK and set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable:
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/(...)/android-sdk-linux/
Then I have the following error:
$ ionic run android

Hint: Open the SDK manager by running: /home/(...)/android-sdk-linux/tools/android
You will require:

2. "Android SDK Platform-tools (latest)
3. "Android SDK Build-tools" (latest)
ERROR running one or more of the platforms: Error: /(...)/myApp/platforms/android/cordova/run: Command failed with exit code 2

What isn't clear to me is how to tell Cordova to use Genymotion instead of the default Android emulator...
For information, I installed ionic and cordava like this:
$ sudo npm install ionic -g
$ sudo npm install cordova -g
I'm working on Linux Mint 17 Qiana / Cinnamon 64-bit.
Thanks very much in advance for your help!

From the logs it doesn't look like a problem with the emulator/Genymotion but a problem with not having the Android SDK installed. Because of the licenses involved you typically need to install the Android SDK yourself.
This explains the error messages:
It first looks for where the SDK is installed, which is indicated by ANDROID_HOME. It errors since it's initially unset.
Once it's set, it can't find the right SDKs (android-22, platform-tools, tools) since they're not installed.
