Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running? - At Android Studio

Question

I installed android studio and tried to run easy projects.

But I caught strange error message:

Waiting for device.
/usr/local/idea/android-studio/sdk         


        

Answer 1

The same happened to me right now. I don't know if there is another but for me the following worked:

• Opened AVD (Android Virtual Device) Manager
• Started virtual device
• Hit the Run button again (that one at status bar)

Explanation: The problem happened because of timeout. Once device had started, the Android Studio could comunicate with him. (v 0.5.3)
