Android Studio AVD Manager button is disabled - android

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.

Android SDK installion missing with android studio exe

I tried installing the android studio but when I start installing, Android SDK is not shown in the available list.
It is shown in the list, the fact that it is greyed out is because you cannot uncheck it, it is a requirement without which android studio cannot work, do not worry just tap on next and it will install all the required things
Just Click on Next Button , and All the required SDKs will be downloaded next automatically.
& then
To check the Android SDK , open android studio and click on SDK Manager ,this will launch the standalone Window like below

Can't install android sdk on ubuntu

I want to install Android studio. I've downloaded Android studio and installed it using Install Android Studio. When I run ./studio.sh it opens the window and says that Android SDK is installed and doesn't let me to install it (the checkbox doesn't work).
So I click next and finish and the it says:
Nothing to do!
SDK tools directory is missing
So I click Finish and then Start a new Android Studio project and says:
Your Android SDK is missing, out of date or corrupted.
Then I Open SDK Manager and I can't do anything there (Shown in the image bellow)
If I click the Edit button, I have the same messages as above.
I've also checked the connection in HTTP Proxy tab and there's no problem in connecting to dl.google.com or any other website.
What should I do?
Although proxy settings were correctly set but still the problem was with the connection. I set up a VPN using openconnect and tried again and everything worked as expected

Android Studio SDK Installation Failed

I am trying to install Android Studio in Mac OS 10.12.3
I downloaded Android Studio v2.3 for mac.
It installs successfully, but when setting up for the first time, it always shows this error.
An error occurred while trying to compute required packages.
On clicking finish, i get
Failed to determine required packages
When i try to open SDK Manager, all options are disabled and it shows [this][3]. Even if i click on set sdk location, it gives me the same error as before.
I searched a lot in stack overflow and tried many suggestions, but nothing worked till now.
Things i tried:
Changed proxy settings, and added *.dl.google.com, *.dl-ssl.google.com in bypass proxys.
In android studio preferences, changed it to 'Auto Detect Proxy Settings'
Disabled Tunnelblick (i use it for VPN).
Deleted ~/.android everytime before trying
Changed permission to selected SDK folder to 777
Tried to run installer with sudo
Different SDK installer location
Once you've failed the install, click Finish (I believe twice) to get to the Android SDK launcher. Click on Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Updates and change the Update Channel to "Canary Channel".
Close out of the SDK and relaunch the Android Studio. It should go forward w/o issue.
Ok, after a lot of search, and asking for help, i found something. Maybe it can help someone else.
I still didn't figure out what was the problem, but i got a workaround.
Since android studio couldn't install SDK, i used homebrew to install android-sdk separately, and then linked that folder as ANDROID_HOME and then set that path in Android Studio SDK, and it worked.
There was some more problems i faced in updating SDK Tools, but updating from command line did the trick.
Now all works fine.

Visual Studio 2015 Xamarin deploy fail without any error message

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 "IntelĀ® 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.

"The following SDK components were not installed: sys-img-x86-addon-google_apis-google-22 and addon-google_apis-google-22"

I'm Windows 7 64-bit user and I got Android Studio problem after I update the latest version of Android Studio and SDK components..
The following SDK components were not installed: sys-img-x86-addon-google_apis-google-22 and addon-google_apis-google-22
Please help me to resolve this problem. Thank you.
I had the same issue when trying to upgrade Android Studio from 1.1 to 1.2 on Mac OS 10.10.
I solved the problem by selecting custom installation instead of standard. Also we need to select the Android SDK Platform (Lollipop 5.1).
Choose the new UI Design >> next
Just try to cancel the "Downloading Components" from upper right
corner 'X' button.
A dialog box will appear then click OK (wait a bit for first time
launch)
I uninstall Only Android studio (keep the SDK and Emulator) and then reinstall it just android studio. took me 2 minutes and my android studio work again.
I had this same problem, but I'm a Linux user.
I resolved the problem by reattempting the installation with adminstrator privileges. [For those Linux users reading this, I ran studio.sh with sudo.]
I just click 'Retry' and it's ok! Also run on Win7 64-bit.
TRY BELOW SOLUTIONS.
SOLUTION 1:
-> Run Android Studio as Administrator (this is only required for first run or when any issues arise due to automatic updates on any run in future).
Though it shows API 23 is or any other updates are not installed (and wouldn't show any 'Retry' button), BUT still the download and installation of rest of the updates would proceed (you can see the download progress incrementing even after seeing the above errors). So, DO NOT ABORT the operation.
-> At the end of installation (after rest of successful updates are installed) it would this time display the "Retry" button to retry installation for API 23 or any other versions which had failed earlier. Then click the "Retry" button, it would work this time.
This would resolve your issue with successful installation.
-> Next time onward no need to run Android studio as Administrator, unless it does any automatic updates and shows similar issues.
SOLUTION 2:
-> Alternative approach is to install any updates (which ever failed in earlier attempt) from Android SDK Manager first and then later launch Android Studio (which would not need any check for updates and any additional installations).
To install any features or updates, run Android SDK manager as administrator (run as administrator is not mandatory for this but preferred to avoid any permissions related issues) and check the required options and proceed with the installation without any issues.
SOLUTION 3:
-> If still your issue is not resolved, then try the proxy solution as suggested by others or check your internet connectivity if it's working properly or not.
*Any of the above solutions should resolve your issues.
go to c->users->[Your user account]-> remove android 1.2 and restart the android studio
when it ask to import select first radio button which is import setting from previous config
there you go fixed
I am using Windows 7 Professional and I was having same problem #Bayu Mohammad Lufty not worked for me.
I simply delete .AndroidStudio1.2 from my C:\Users\UserName\ and restart my Android studio again.
It open Android Studio perfectly!
It configured everything again in next start :)
I'm a MacOS user.
I solved it by uninstalling Android Studio and reinstalling it again.
If you want to try this link helped me a lot.
Uninstall Android Studio MacOS (terminal)
When you are installing Android Studio, under Install type do not use standard setting, use custom setting instead, and check all the option boxes in the next step.
i have solve my same problem
i update my android studio, and i choose not to import my setting from my previous version than that problem appear.
than i realize that i have 2 AndroidStudio folder on my windows account (.AndroidStudio and .AndroidStudio1.2) and on my new .AndroidStudio1.2 folder there are no other.xml file.
than i copy other.xml file from C:\Users\my windows account name.AndroidStudio\config\options to C:\Users\my windows account name.AndroidStudio1.2\config\options

I'm using UBUNTU and I got this same error. I restarted the set up using sudo and did a custom install. This solved my problem!
--More Specific--
re-installed using # sudo ./studio.sh
then I made sure to click "Custom Install"
then I made sure all packages were selected.
And I got this message Android virtual device Nexus_5_API_22_x86 was successfully created
I just run:
C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\SDK Manager.exe
Install SDK Platform Android M Preview
And run Android Studio again.
It's working for me :D
When this error occured I first clicked retry for few times and waited for 2 minutes and clicked 'retry' then it installed without any error.(for 2 minutes I was searching to solve this problem online).
I was getting an "out of space" error, which left me scratching my head as I had plenty of disk space, until I realized that it ran out of space on /tmp, which on Arch Linux is mounted on a tmpfs with a size limit.
