In Android Studio when I select the Tools Option, The SDK Manager Option is not shown.
Also, when I search for SDK Manager using the Search Option it shows the SDK Manager Option, but when i click on it nothing happens.
So, what should I do to install new packages from the SDK Manager.
Go to Menu bar click -> View button and Select -> Toolbar
Thats it.
Thanks
In Android studio 4.0.1 it is on right, directly on panel.
check if android support is checked in pluggins
I installed android studio 3.4 and even i could not see the sdk manager under tools. There are two ways to get to SDK manager:
From the start screen of android studio (popup, where you select a blank project or any other existing project), there is a configure button at the bottom right of the popup. Click that and you would see the option for SDK Manager.
From toolbar Android Studio -> Preferences -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK ( or in preferences window search box type 'sdk' and you will goto this path directly).
In the new version of Android Studio You can find the sdk manager option on the top right corner. just beside the search option.
I have solved this as follows:
Window > Customize Perspective... (you will see Android and AVD Manager are disabled)
Command Groups Availability > Android and AVD Manager > check
Tool Bar Visibility > Android and AVD Manager > check
I am seeing this same problem and am not finding this solution works. Perhaps this solution solves some cases where the SDK Manager Option is not shown. But, I think there are others.
I strongly recommend avoiding Android Studio at this time. It's a beta project and as such ... not intended to work as expected.

I was creating a flutter project, but I want to run my AVD in the android studio window itself, I already select the option in "Settings-> Tools-> Emulator" and check the option that says "Launch in a tool windows" but it still executes me regardless of the emulator.
I've already done several unsuccessful searches, does anyone have any ideas?
---Updated-----
Create a project in normal java and there if that window appears I think it is a problem in flutter or something similar.
Finally! This is the solution Android Studio 4.1+ emulator sidebar?
Go to File->Project Structure->Modules and add Android Framework and Apply.
Automatically displays Emulator Menu in Right Panel!
Try File-> Project Structure-> Modules and add Android and Apply.
In this doc.
Click File > Settings > Tools > Emulator (or Android Studio >
Preferences > Tools > Emulator on macOS), then select Launch in a
tool window and click OK.
In Your case:
If the Emulator window didn't automatically appear, open it by
clicking View > Tool Windows > Emulator.
Start your virtual device using the AVD Manager or by targeting it
when running your app.
EDIT:
AVD Manager > Actions Setting > Cool Boot Now
It directly forces start your emulator.
Go to File->Project Structure->Modules. Click on the + (Plus) icon on the top middle and add Android then OK.
Tested on Android Studio 2020.3.1 patch 4. Should work the same on other releases
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 have installed Android Studio 2.3.2 and
The AVD Manager (which should be under the tools menu is not visible).
Is there any way that i could make it available?
Tools menu in Android Studio
Menus and Toolbars
In the latest Android Studio(>= 3.6.2), it appears(mobile icon) at the top right side as displayed in the image below.
I had the same problem that the AVD Manager didn't show up after I installed Android Studio 3.0.1. and I could not run my Ionic app in the emulator. After hours of researching this answer finally helped: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47727706/9386896
Start a blank project
Android Studio complained that certain SDK tools are missing and offers you to install them
After all tools where installed by Android Studio, I could finally create a virtual device via the AVD Manager.
I guess that may help Windows and Mac users.
Use ctrl+shift+A to open the search and type AVD Manager and select it. From there you can manage all your virtual devices like Launch, edit config, delete Device etc...
You can find it in:
tool->Android->AVD Manager.
If you want to make the AVD Manager icon be visible, you can doing this:
Right click on the Toolbar and select the Customize Menu and Toolbar..,
Choose the Main Toolbar.
Then,you can see this:
Click on the Restore Default, then the AVD Manager will be visible. Hope this can help you. :-)
Make sure you have installed Android emulator from sdk manager
Then go to tools -->android-->avd manager
if it doesn't work check settings-->plugins-->android support that
it(android support) is installed or not
Check if you have Android plugin Enabled in your Studio:
File --> Settings-- > Type Plugin
Check Android and Restart Android Studio
They've changed how it works and now I can't find where it is. According to this guide https://developer.android.com/studio/run/managing-avds.html#viewing it should be a simple as
In Android Studio, select Tools > Android > AVD Manager.
But I don't see any "tools" in my Android Studio client.
You can find it as highlighted in the image
Tools > Android > AVD Manager should work, though. But you have to select Android Studio before you see the correct contextual menu
.
EDIT: Since Android Studio 3.1 the path would be Tools > AVD Manager
You may not have enough packages needed for the empty project. You should have a window with I think Gradle alert with a link which you can click and you will see a window with a prompt to download missing packages. When all stuff downloads the button to run ADV should be enabled.
I am running Android Studio on Mac OS Mojave 10.14. I found AVD Manager icon in Tool Bar.
Its on the right to the red "stop" button on the bar
For Android Studio version 4 for MacOS, the AVD Manager and SDK Manager are under the tools menu. Note that the menu entries do not appear until after the project has completed loading.
AVD ManagerHello,
here is where you can find AVD Manager when you first open Android Studio.
More Actions> AVD Manaager

SCREENSHOT
I'm following the tutorial on creating an android application...
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/running-app.html
It says: "click Android Virtual Device Manager from the toolbar."
I don't have this button on my toolbar - does the toolbar change depending on what you have got open or something?
I also cant find this command in the menu (inc under Menu > Windows).
I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, eclipse 3.7.2
maybe the tutorial is out of date because I don't have a run button on the toolbar either (the nearest thing is 'launch external tools')
From the link below, see the Icon of this on the topmost left corner. It should be visible if you have correctly installed the plugin and create a virtual device.
http://developer.android.com/images/screens_support/avds-config.png
I copy from here: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/avd-manager.html
You can launch the AVD Manager in one of the following ways:
In Eclipse: select Window > AVD Manager, or click the AVD Manager icon in the Eclipse toolbar.
In other IDEs: Navigate to your SDK's tools/ directory and execute android avd.
I think if you can build android project ,and you have install adt plugin.
I suggestion you could use adt-bundle, not native eclipse:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/bundle.html
Have you correctly install the Android SDK plugin for eclipse or in alternative have you install the Eclipse Android SDK?
If you have done this, from Eclipse go to Window -> Customize Perspective then select the third tab Command Groups Availability and check Androdi SDK and AVD Manager. THIS WORKS FINE FOR ME.
