Without doing anything today I opened Eclipse and no longer had the Android Developer Tools installed. That is, in the Window tab should appear below all the options Android SDK and AVD Manager Manager.
It is as if it was deleted. However, I return to complete all the steps to install it and still do not see Android options. Do you know how to fix this?
try starting eclipse with the - clean option.
if you are on windows, amend the start icon for eclipse to pass the - clean as a command line arg

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 know that this was running on my system half a year ago, so I don't know what else to do.
I deleted every Android-related cofig-folders in my home directory. The newly generated config files are located in my home directory as well.
I'm starting Android Studio with an empty project (just created it new), click on "AVD Manager", install a Nexus6 with Nougat x86 (API Level 25) and then I'm hitting the "Launch this AVD in the emulator"-button.
At the bottom of Android-Studio a progress bar appears along with "Starting AVD...", but as the progress bar hits 100% nothing else happens.
No error message, no process being started, simply nothing happens after hitting that button.
I installed the package from the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-studio. I'm using LXDE as the DE.
Looks like android studio needed to install emulator when it was updated...
I got this problem after updating android studio and it was solved by the installing the emulator from SDK manager
After the last update my emulator stopped working without throwing any error. I had to edit my .bashrc to set it to use the system libraries.
Open your .bashrc file by typing the following commands on terminal:
cd ~/
gedit .bashrc
Add this line to the end of the fine:
export ANDROID_EMULATOR_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1
Restart the computer.
Edit: Instead of restarting you can also run source ~/.bashrc
Android emulator was not updated in my Android Studio. I went to SDK manager and installed the updated version from tools tab and then it started working.
I went to Tools > Android > AVD Manager
I then edited the desired device [galaxy_note_4] in my case, Selected Software - GLES 2.0, under Emulated Performance.
Worked for me, hope this helps
I went to AVD manager and cleared out my existing devices and just created a new one. Seemed to do the trick for me.
Just delete your avd and try to create a new one then you can see the error logs in idea.log.
In my case it couldn't find userdata.img for some reasons.
For me what worked was:
Select all x86 images in the respective phone model. Go to "show package details" in Android Studio within the "SDK" under the selected models and enusre the x86 image options are selected for the respective chosen model.
Also make sure no other applications are open at the backend not even the browser. Because even that is leading to hang may be due to the configuration of the system that I have.
In my case updating Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) did the trick.
You can do it in SDK Manager under the SDK Tools tab
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.
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.
I have defined an AVD using the Android SDK AVD Manager application. When I press the "start" button in AVD Manager, it starts correctly.
In Eclipse, I have the "andmore" android tool set installed. It has a list of available devices that shows the AVD I defined, so clearly it is checking the right place to find them. The links from the Eclipse menus to open the SDK and AVD manager applications work, so the paths are clearly set up correctly.
Yet, when the AVD is running, Eclipse doesn't realise it: it states it is "offline" and refuses to attempt to install any applications on it. And if I stop it and try to start it via the Eclipse UI, it says that it is starting, then immediately stops with the error message "The Android emulator process has unexpectedly stopped running. The instance mm800 is now stopped."
I cannot find any information in the Eclipse error log about why the emulator may have stopped. Nothing appears in the console window, either. Where can I find information about what is going wrong? How can I debug this problem?
For reference:
Eclipse neon (4.6.0)
Andmore 0.5.0
Android SDK Tools 25.1.7
Android SDK Platform tools 24.0.2
HAXM 6.0.3
The AVD I'm trying to use is using the Android 6.0 Google APIs x86 image.
Did you lately upgrade your eclipse from let's say Indigo to Neon. I had this error happen to me when I did the upgrade. I copied the old Indigo workspace to a new location and then opened it with Neon (didn't create a fresh workspace and import). My AVD did appear offline in device manager view. But when I opened the "Devices" view it appeared okay.
If you right click your project and go to "Run as" you might find two "Android Application" entries. One with a green icon and another without. Try running it using the not green icon. This worked with me.
Or otherwise try creating a fresh workspace and importing your project into it.
Hope this helps
Edit: I fiddled with it more and created a new workspace. Looks like it does the same as mentioned before. Looks like a problem with the ADT plugin. But still I can run my projects using the "run as android application"
