Answer 1

Make sure your ANDROID_SDK_HOME or ANDROID_AVD_HOME is defined correctly and AVD is installed in AVD Manager.

You can get the avd folder path by clicking view details of any AVD you have installed.

Directories are searched by emulator in the order $ANDROID_AVD_HOME, $ANDROID_SDK_HOME\avd and $HOME.android\avd .

Check whether the avd folder path matches any of the above path. Make sure there is no empty avd folder in any of the above path of defined environment variables.
