after I update Android Studio from 2.3 to 3.0 version. I can not find AVD Manager in Tools/Android/AVD Manager.
I just did a fresh install and had the same issue. Solved by:
Click "Install missing platforms(s)..." in the highlighted error:
Then after the download/install, click "Intall Build Tools...":
Then after the download/install, you will see Android under Tools menu
If you have never used Android Studio Before, and do not have a Project
..Opening the AVD Manager is even trickier!!
For example, if you are installing it to use an emulator for a create-react-native-app project., but aren't otherwise using Android Studio to write or manage your app.
Here is how you can gain access to the AVD Manager.
AVD Manager is required to set-up your emulators.
Android Studio Documentation does NOT tell you how to gain access to AVD Manager. It starts at Open the AVD Manager!
I Just Need the emulator (and manager).
But I did not even have the window the OP refers to.
Nothing in the Configure menu, not Preferences (even Preferences -> Tools) gave me access to AVD Manager.
So in my case it was even more confusing to have No Direct Access AVD Manager !
Nor did I have an android folder in my create-react-native-app app, so hamdi's answer above did not work for me.
All I had was a new folder/git repo from:
create-react-native-app
My Solution
On the Android Studio Startup Screen, I choose:
Import Android Code Sample
Then choose any sample. (I choose the first example listed).
Then (after a bunch of downloading/building..), then brought up the window the OP refers to.
I then had to update gradle, as mentioned by user1449542's post above.
At that point, Muhammad Hannan's answer above was helpful !!!
I clicked the icon from the bottom image in his post -- vioa!
( Alternatively from the menu bar choose: Tools -> AVD Manager )
Better Solution:
I have since realized that the Startup Screen Option:
Start a new Android Studio Project
also works and is even quicker (less to download/build), and might not even need gradle file updates (mentioned by another post) that I had to do when I downloaded a sample project.
Just use the default settings to create a dummy project in the default location, and choose
Add No Activity.
Android Studio will "build" this dummy project, and set it up, then open the Window you need to access said icon, and/or menu bar.
In the future, this dummy project will appear on the left of Android Studio's Startup Screen.
Just click on that dummy project to re-open the window you need to access AVD Manager.
Then, as before, click that icon (or from the menu bar choose: Tools -> AVD Manager) to create/edit AVD emulators.
If you're using React Native (create react native app), you can start an emulator from the command line, once you have created an AVD emulator, and probably won't need to open Android Studio itself. (see notes below).
Be sure to start the emulator before choosing a (from the terminal window that's running your app via yarn start).
Additional Notes for reference:
To start the emulator from the command line:
emulator -avd <avd_emulator_name>
To list what emulators have been configured:
emulator -list-avds
AVD_Nexus_6P_API_23
AVD_Pixel_2_XL_API_27
AVD_Pixel_XL_API_25
So, for example, I can do this:
emulator -avd AVD_Pixel_2_XL_API_27
Additional Information
I also had to add the following lines to my .bash_profile
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 10`
Note: the value between the back-ticks is what the JAVA install from my terminal replied. If you type that part into terminal by itself, it spits out the location Java was installed. If you have an different version of Java installed, just replace 10 with your version.
I then got the following path from:
- Android Studio Startup Screen -> Configure -> SDK ManagerPreferences
- Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK
- Android SDK Location: /Users/sherylhohman/Library/Android/sdk
and used it as the value for adding the following line
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/sherylhohman/Library/Android/sdk
Though I chose to write it as the following instead:
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
Finally I added:
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb
export PATH
I may not have needed the ...adb or 1 or more of the last PATH entries.
This was a cumulation of many internet searches, many conflicting solutions. The major missing key was accessing AVD Manager (OP's question), which finally solved the problem. This just happens to be the items I had already added to my .batch_profile along the way trying to get the android emulator working inside my create-react-native-app App!.
I found this just under the toolbar in Android Studio (v3.2):
Go to the "Event Log" tab in the bottom right corner.
There will probably be some error messages. It will provide information and links to resolve the problem. Then the buttons will not be greyed out anymore.
I'm using Android Studio 3.0 on Ubuntu I have AVD under Tools > Android > AVD . And also on the right upper corner of the screen.
EDIT :
Go to Settings and search for AVD.
If you encountered the problem when using React Native, you are probably trying to include the whole project in Android Studio. You only have to include the android folder from the React Native project. After this process, Gradle will be synchronized and AVD Manager will come back.
I had the same problem.
If you get this message: "Frameworks detected: Android framework is detected in the project" then click on it and add Android.
After that, the icons should be enabled now.
you can find SDK manager,AVD manager TOP right side on android studio version more than 3.2.0.
and if you want to run via commmand promat you can go to
cd Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin
./avdmanager list
I had the same issue in Windows 10 and saw this solution in another post ... It worked for me.
Set-up the System Environmental Variables ANDROID_HOME and ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
To do this ...
Click the windows key and start typing System.
Select it when it pops up in the menu.
Click advanced system settings
Select the advanced tab
Click Environmental Variables at the bottom
Under system variables, click new
Enter the variable name
For value, enter the the path to the Android SDK, which will most likely be: C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Use the same path for both variables
In Andriod Studio 3.5 its here
Following the event log to install resolves the issue
Hit ctrl+shift+a and search avd and click on it
I was not able to find AVD manager in android studio easily for Android studio version 3.1.2.In order to launch AVD manager, i had to create a sample project and then launch it from there.
I have documented all my steps here, in case any one wants to get benifitted.
How to launch AVD manager on Android Studio 3.1.2
I'm very new to Android development and have never used Android Studio before. I set it up, got my app working on my phone and left it alone for a few weeks. Upon returning, I could not find the Android Studio executable on my computer, so I reinstalled it and restarted on the same project.
Not sure if this has to do with the AVD Manager button being grayed out. Things I have tried:
Making sure my SDK path is correct
Running Android Studio as administrator
Launching the AVD Manager executable from windows. I can create a virtual device but doesn't affect disabled AVD Manager button when restarting Android Studio.
Installing Intel X86 Atom System Image and Google APIs in SDK Manager, under API 24.Everything under API 25 is installed.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
This generally happens when Android Studio is not able identify the android sdk installation in the machine. This could happen if Android Studio is launched in non-Administrator mode.
Just close and relaunch Android Studio in administrator mode. You will see a saying "android framework is identified" Click on the configure link on that notification. The AndroidStudio will start configuring the android sdk. After some time the buttons would be visible and enabled.
If you tried running the Android Studio in administrator mode and it still do not work for you try the following way.
Delete the .idea folder in the project
Re open the project from going to File->Open Recent->
Then you will be asked to convert the project
Click convert
For anyone seeing this problem following the React Native tutorial make sure to click the "Configure" button in the Event Log next to the log text that reads "Frameworks detected: Android framework is detected in the project"
This action seems to be what configures the project to be an Android project.
I'v solved this issue by updating gradle.
It is simple
The only thing that worked for me was that I clicked in Androidstudio in the top right on SDK Managar.
And there under android sdk it was so that there was no path entered. and it was also so that NO Check box was checked below.
So I had to first click in the top right on Edit thereby was written to me the path pure.
After that I had to select a chack box below it no matter whiche and sometimes it must then just install something. When it has finished installing click OK. It may be that you then have to close and open android studio again.
I was having this issue on a new machine running MacOS High Sierra.
After installing Android Studio and the most recent SDK/
SDK Tools, I was unable to create any AVD from Android Studio (button greyed out, no option under Tools) or run the AVD Manager any other way.
I tried the same things the OP had done, then noticed I was getting the following error: Gradle sync failed: Failed to find Build Tools revision 26.0.2
From the Event Log I followed a link to download the Build tools and now it works!
If you are working on Flutter, Follow the steps:
Open Settings in Android Studio (CTRLALTS)
Search Flutter
Check may path of Flutter SDK is not available.
Set the path and press OK.
Done! Thank you
I tried the answers here, but the only solution for me was to restart my machine and it fixed itself. It happened after upgrading AS (from 4.0.2 to 4.2.2)
in android studio or intellij program:
goto tools > android > SDK manager
click on Edit (android SDK location)
click next and next
close dialog
its ok.
The last time I updated visual studio, I accidentally unchecked 'Android emulators' from the modules list, so they all got uninstalled.
Since I need them, I went and modified the installation from windows 'add or remove programs', checked and installed 'Android emulators' as a visual studio module, and all seemed fine.
But then, when I tried to build an Android version of my Apache Cordova app, I noticed that the Android emulators did not get added back to the target list. The Cordova project is set as a start up project.
I tried reinstalling the whole module and also reinstalling the device profiles, but they're still missing.
Is there a way to configure what devices/emulators show in that list?
Thank you.
So it seems like you are missing the Visual Studio emulators for Android, which we have pre configured to show a 5" and 7" option. A fresh install probably just missed that component (because its not automatically checked). Modify "Microsoft Visual Studio" from the Add or Remove programs menu, and check the VS Emulators for Android to add them to your version of VS. See the checklist image below for where the component is.
If you want to create a custom Android emulator yourself to show under "Google Android Emulator" (because that comes pre-installed), just make sure that your Google Android emulator is running the virtual device that you created, and on deploy your app should show up on that emulator.
I just installed VS 2015, the installation was finish (after some fail time caused by the slow network, I run setup again).
I create a project as Android > Android blank project
When I press F5, the build is seem to by success but the deploy is fail, there isn't error message. Tried set Tool->Option->Build->Diagnostic, no result. VS 2015 is pretty new, is anyone met this? How can I fix this?
I bumped into the same, but I started VS2015 as Administrator and solved the problem.
Is any Android Virtual Device running?
Open AVD menu
Launch the device
Wait for it to fully load
Build and deploy
Find your app in device's menu and execute it
Visual Studio gets stuck trying to deploy the app to the emulator or the emulator does not appear as a debug target in other IDEs
If the emulator is running, but it does not appear to be connected to ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or it does not appear in Android tools that make use of ADB (for example, Android Studio or Eclipse), you may need to adjust where the emulator looks for ADB.
The emulator uses a registry key to identify the base location of your Android SDK, and looks for the \platform-tools\adb.exe file under that directory. To modify the Android SDK path used by the emulator:
Open Registry Editor by selecting Run from the Start buttons context menu, typing regedit in the dialog box, and choosing OK.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Android SDK Tools in the folder tree on the left.
Modify the Path registry variable to match the path to your Android SDK.
Restart the emulator and you should now be able to see the emulator connected to ADB and associated Android tools.
And yet another recipe of fixing this:
clean projects
remove all bin, obj folders
mark your android-project
as startup
then try to deploy again
As for me, in some cases, if visual studio stucked on project building, it requires pc reboot.
I had the same annoying issue. Going to Options -> Xamarin -> Android Setting and checking Preserve application data/cache on device between deploys solved my problem.
I was facing same issue.
Just reopen visual studio and rebuild your project..and then try to deploy.
Its worked for me!
According to Magnus Grindal Bakken's comment, I found the solution.
1) The installation must have an internet connection to be completed.
Any interruption may cause components to be excluded.
2) You need android emulator. Installing the Android SDK and Visual Studio 2015, is not sufficient, You either need the Microsoft emulator, the android one or another third party emulator (like Genymotion). You also need to ensure that the Xamarin plugins for Visual Studio are installed.
Xamarin for Visual Studio can be downloaded here. Once it is installed Visual Studio will be able to create and run Xamarin projects. Xamarin for VS includes the Xamarin Player for emulation. I think it's even better than Genymotion.
Start emulator via AVD manger ... [start] button (as user m93a suggested).
And next option contains check option "wipe user data". Check it !
It helps me solve this problem. Then deploy or debug the application and all process will works as expected.
I had the same problem with my XF App, it didn't deploy and just one message saying Deployment Failed, internal error....
I solved it. Working on Mac with Xamarin Studio, make sure that the ABI of your simulator is supported by your app.
Xamarin Studio Android project Options
Just run your Visual studio as Administrator mode.
Sometimes the physical Android device gets confused about versions.
On the device, to go settings | Applications Manager | All applications.
Manually delete your application.
Manually delete "Mono Shared Runtime" (don't worry it will reinstall during deploy)
Make any change in your project so it is seen as altered and needing to be recompiled: Add a new blank-line to a .cs file or something.
Build
Debug/deploy
I faced that problem couple hours ago, I tried to deactivate hyper-V and it worked for me.
In the Android App project Properties in Visual Studio I had to go to Android Options>Advanced and make sure the Support architectures had the architecture of my AVD checked.
In my case this was x86_64 (which, by the way, does not have a particularly discovereable method of installation - took me days).
First of all, we can find the error in "Details" when we click "Start" button on "AVD Manager" for "Android_Accelerated_x86". If the error is as follows :
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU
acceleration status: HAXM is not installed on this machine
So, in this case we need to install "Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager". It can be downloaded from following link :
haxm-windows_v6_0_6.zip (6.0.6)
Note: After installing Xamarin for the first time in visual studio 2015 i had the same error to run "Android_Accelerated_x86". After installing this accelerated emulator is now up and running.
If the emulator does not even lauch, maybe deploy is skipped.
You cas see this in the output console.
If so, you may have to activate the deploy by checking it in the solution's (not project) parameters.
If the emulator launches but the deploy won't end after minutes, with no error, try the steps described here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/32564067/7505268
That solved it for me.
I had Xamarin Android Player opened while trying to deploy the Android project. This steps worked for me:
Closed Xamarin Android Player
Ran Android project again
in my case I had this problem because "Solution Configuration" was set to Release. I change it back to Debug and I solve the problem
Try one of the following and see if you can get the app to deploy to your device.
Clean and build project/solution
Make sure you have updated all the NuGet packages (Right click on solution and click on Manage NuGet Packages.... Then check in Updates section whether there are any updates)
Make sure you have installed all the necessary SDKs from the Android SDK Manager
Check whether you have selected the correct project as the startup
Check if you have set the correct path for Android SDK and NDK locations
Make sure you have checked Deploy for your selected project from Build -> Configuration Manager
Well there can be many reasons,one of them could be that from the Build section in your toolbar,if you check the configuration manager there will be project names that are available in your current solution all you have to check is if the deploy checkbox is checked or not.If not kindly check it and things will work just fine
This worked for me:
Making sure that Define DEBUG constant is checked.
Using Log.Info("yourTag-AnyString", "Error before/after ");
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
Log.Info(tag, "Error before Layout");
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
// Get our button from the layout resource,
// and attach an event to it
//Button button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.MyButton);
//button.Click += delegate { button.Text = string.Format("{0} clicks!", count++); };
Log.Info(tag, "Error before variables");
userName = FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.editTextUsername);
password = FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.editTextPassword);
btnInsert = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.btnInsert);
Log.Info(tag, "Error after variables");
btnInsert.Click += BtnInsert_Click;
}
changing emulators or exporting the signed .apk instead
For android apps, using android device logging
There is actually a connection between running Visual Studio as administrator and setting the registry path.
I followed the instructions here but it only worked after running VS as admin because my Android SDK path is in "C:\Program Files (x86)". So in order to add or change files there you need admin rights. Alternatively you can change the permissions of the "Android" folder so that the group "Users" as full access. This worked for me as well.
Or you make sure you don't even install the Android SDK in "C:\Program Files (x86)".
By the way I found that restarting VS, or even the Emulator again wasn't necessary after I added the registry key. It picks it up when it needs to.
I'm just getting started with Android development and was setting up Android Studio on my mac. (Following the instructions here)
When trying to run a simple hello world application and trying to learn my way around the IDE, I noticed the "Android Device monitor" disabled. Any ideas how I can fix this? This should be important when debugging apps hence the question.
I'm not sure what other info might be important for this question. I did make a few changes in the SDK manager, but they were just installing more components on top of what was already installed.
Once you open a valid project, the buttons become enabled.
Note that, even if the option is disabled, you can still bring up the Device Monitor by running the monitor.bat file in the tools directory of the Android SDK. (On Windows you can just double click the file or run it from a cmd shell.)
This problem occurs to me today. And I just click the button on the pic.
Problem solved.
and If this didn't work ,you can check this list in your Android Studio
1.Tools->Android->Enable ADB Integration
2.If you open DDMS, CLOSE it .
If these didn't work too, check the official file.
