(Vulkan 1.0 APIs missing from instance) when launching Android Emulator(Q API 29) via Android Studio 3.5 and 3.6 Canary 9

Question

I created three AVDs base on Android Q (API 29), using these system images:
Android 10(Google Play), Android 10(Google APIs), Android 10.

All of these emulators failed to launch. With the following error:

18:38   Emulator: VK_VERSION_1_0 check failed: vkCreateInstance not found

18:38   Emulator: VK_VERSION_1_0 check failed: vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties not found

18:38   Emulator: VK_VERSION_1_0 check failed: vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties not found

18:38   Emulator: createOrGetGlobalVkEmulation: Warning: Vulkan 1.0 APIs missing from instance

18:38   Emulator: Process finished with exit code 0

I have referred to this link:
Emulator: Unexpected feature list: MultiDisplay VulkanNullOptionalStrings YUV420888toNV21 YUVCache
But this issue is different from my issue.

I tried in Android Studio 3.5, and Android Studio 3.6 Canary 9, the latest version in stable and preview channel. Both end with the same result.

According to this page, Vulkan 1.0 should already exists since Android 7.0, I have no idea why Vulkan 1.0 is missing on Android 10.

Or should I just wait for the newer version of system image after Google officially release Android 10?

Answer 1

I'm not sure why that's happening (it was happening to me to using API 29). I cloned the device in the AVD Manager and dropped the API down to 28 (Pie, Android 9) and I was able to successfully launch my app again.

Answer 2

I also have similar problem, I installed Android studio 3.5 the first time writhout problem. Everything works find till I get my computer plant/bug during the installation of an AVD, I restart the computer launch ./studio.sh and then installed an update. Till that time am going through errors and errors. I deleted and reinstalled android but have this problem now. :(

I had the same problem, you have to update your emulator in sdk manager:

1.launch sdk manager

2.settings->appearance and behavior->system settings->android sdk

3.SDK Tools

4. Update Android Emulator
