Answer 1

For me (on a Mac) I had the Android SDK installed in a custom location so I needed to set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable. In the terminal you can check what this value is with:

echo $ANDROID_HOME

I added the Android SDK to my .bash_profile (might be a different file if you are using Linux or Windows) for both ANDROID_HOME and PATH.

# already had these
export PATH="$PATH":"/opt/android-sdk/tools"
export PATH="$PATH":"/opt/flutter-sdk/bin"

# added this
export ANDROID_HOME="/opt/android-sdk"

Replace /opt/android-sdk with wherever yours is.

Then I updated the variables with

source .bash_profile

Testing with flutter doctor showed it was working.

flutter doctor

I restarted Android Studio and the emulator worked.
