Cannot run AVD emulator in Android Studio, missing file - android

I have a quite big problem as accidentally removed the file, it is already removed from the bin on Mac. Now in Android Studio I cannot run emulator and I get the below message:
Can anyone help me please? What should I do now? Is there any way I can reinstall this missing file for Android studio?
Many thanks in advance!
EDIT: My problem was a missing .exe file: qemu-system-i386. I couldn't find any working solution, tried installing various images versions, was creating new emulators. I decided to uninstall Android Studio and proceed with the new installation. I used a free tool, AppCleaner, to remove the Android Studio, you can read more about this here: http://lifehacker.com/5828738/the-best-app-uninstaller-for-mac. But still had to remove manually the entire sdk tools directory. You can actually do the same from the terminal, here is the thread how to do it: How to completely uninstall Android Studio?
Anyway, the important thing it is working now! :D

1) Open the SDK manager (see the image below):
[
2) Launch the stand alone SDK manager
3) Ensure that you have downloaded and installed the SDKs and tools for Android version that you'd like to emulate. In my case I use API 25. You should also have the Intel x86 Intel Atom System images installed.
4) Then open the AVD Manager and "Create a Virtual Device"
5) Select the API level that corresponds to the one you installed in the previous steps. In the newer versions of Android Studio you can also download and install the System Image you desire in this menu.

Android Studio SDK installation issue after update

I bought a course at Udemy, but the version that the instructor uses is older than mine. Thus, I couldn't finish my installation successfully. In the version that he used, there were 3 boxes to check on the first opening. Android Studio, SDK, and virtual device. He checked all of them. But mine doesn't have SDK box at all.
I am totally new to the Android studio and using windows 10. How should I install the sdk?
Install Android Studio, and if you want to configure SDK settings or whatever that is related to SDK, go to Tools -> SDK Manager
If you want to configure virtual devices go to Tools -> AVD Manager.
see the Android Studio intro, which explains how to use the SDK manager.
it's toolbar icon had been changed recently, which may lead to confusion.
use x86 emulator images for best performance, when HAXM is supported.

Cannot deploy app to emulator in Android Studio - "unknown avd"

I made a simple hello world app which I would like to deploy to an emulator in Android Studio.
This used to work before for exactly the same project (I installed all necessary packages) but this time for some random reason, in the run options when I select "Target: Emulator", under the "prefer Android virtual device" I get the following in red: "Unknown AVD".
I've googled around and the answers vary. The answer that seems to make the most sense is:
You have to install all Intel Image Library and Google API for your
desired API. Go to your SDK Manager and check intel system images is
installed or not if not then you have to installed it as well install
Google API Library.
However I don't have these "Intel Image libraries" and "Google API" options in SDK manager. Are these shorthand aliases for other names in the options?
Any ideas on how to get the emulator up and running?
A bit of information on my environment:
Android Studio 2.3.3
Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
Gradle Version: 3.3
Selected SDK Platform Package: Android 7.1.1 (Nougat)/ API Level 25
Revision 3
Virtual Device: Nexus 5X API 25
Try to kill the adb server and restart it.
Locate your adb binary (linux/osx) or adb.exe (windows) and do:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
this should fix your problem
Even if your problem still not solved then Restart emulator.
Locate the adb.exe by going to where your sdk is installed and go into platform-tools. Mine is the default and also the most common (C:/User/$USER$/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/platform-tools/)
After that kill the server and start the server back up. That might fix it, if not drop a comment and let someone know that the problem isn't yet resolved someone may be able to help.
this problem may be related to the version of the gradle file of your application. Try this:
goto Android -> Gradle Scripts -> Build Gradle(Module :app)

Issues setting up Android Emulator in Android Studio 2.3.3

I have recently installed Android Studio 2.3.3 and Apache Cordova in order to construct cross-mobile apps. While the installation of Cordova and the main Android Studio IDE seems to have been a success, I have having issues setting up the Android Emulators.
I was unable to locate the AVD Manager.exe in the SDK folder, so I downloaded a new "AVD Manager.exe". However, when I try to open the executable I get the following message:
Failed to execute tools\android.bat:
The system cannot find the file specified.
When I do open up Android Studio I can now see the greyed AVD Manager icon, so I am not sure if I am on the right path to resolving my issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Built-in AVD is laggy and slow enough. Use Genymotion instead. It's free for personal usage.
If your computer is of minimum 8 GB ram , its OK to use AVD .or else I suggest you to use genymotion. Its free and fastest . or else its better to build apps in a physical device.

Android Studio 2.3 AVD Manager Greyed out?

I just recently installed Android Studio (Version 2.3) so I could use the SDK / AVD GUI manager built in now that the standalone is deprecated. I'm on Windows 10 and this is a fresh install. My goal is to be able to setup a virtual device as well as setup my own android device to run a NativeScript app. After install the SDK button is available, but the AVD button is disabled (below).
I have the Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) SDK Platform installed and the Intel x86 Emulator Acc. installed (below). This is all default installs so far.
I've tried installing / reinstalling as admin as well as opening as admin per this post to no avail.
The Android SDK home path, build target, and Java SDK are setup in the project structure by default correctly as well.
Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?
As a side note the android help page for creating AVD's lists a menu option (tools -> android ) which doesn't exist.
My issue was Android Studio does not understand where to load the nativescript android project even after adding android as a platform (If someone knows a way around this, feel free to post). In my particular case I'm testing the angular-seed-advanced. To at least get the command line working (AVD manager is still greyed out):
Create a new blank android "test" project in android studio
The AVD Manager becomes available
Setup an virtual devices as necessary
Reopen nativescript project
use command npm run start.android
prepare, build, run and livesync will work as expected now.
Hope this helps someone else get started.

Eclipse Android Plugins

I have Eclipse Juno IDE Service Release 2.
Basically, I don't know much about Android ADT,SDK,AVD, Tools, plugins and all.
SIC: I don't want to download full ADT again.
I want to install all the latest tools left for android for my Eclipse. I have done with the following (latest version downloaded today) :
And now, I want to add other plugins as well (please tell me what's left).
Also , I have downloaded and installed SDK Tools today (again, latest version).
Following are the files I downloaded and installed (SDK Tools) for latest version (exe file was of 88 MB or something)..
I am also unable to open SDK Manager from both Eclipse and Windows explorer. So, please don't suggest me to open SDK Manager and check this and this.
Thanks a lot in advance !!
no other way other than opening sdk manager.
SDK - Software Development Kit - It is a development kit particular for different platforms. They are needed to integrate java with that particual platform.
AVD - Android Virtual Device - An android phones inside your computer. Whenever u r building an app, rather than trying it everytime in your phone, u can use AVD. It opens Android OS.
1) u need to download buid-tools
2) AVD manager (if u dont already have it)
3) System Images - as mentioned above about AVD, it runs android OS inside your computer. So to run android, u need its system images (if u want to run android kitkat, u nedd system images for that version)
