I\'m facing problem to create AVD in android studio, the problem is i\

Answer 1

Here is a screenshot of me fixing this. I've encountered it many times, and it's always due to this config-related jazz:

1. Click Event Log (bottom right)
2. Click Configure of the Android Framework detected notification
3. Done

If you do this and your icon still isn't lit up, then you probably need to set up the emulator still. I would recommend investigating the SDK Manager if so.

Answer 2

The only thing that worked for me (with an existing project on a fresh install of macOS) was:

"File" > "Sync Project with Gradle Files"

This was odd to me since building the project succeeded with no errors or log messages, but I couldn’t run the project and there was nothing Android in the Tools menu.

I had already tried creating a new Android project and running that. It didn't help with my existing project.

Answer 3

interesting, looks like all icon shifted to the right of toolbar. please try open actions using shortcut Ctrl + Shift + A and than type AVD Manager, is avd manager options appear like this:

Answer 4

Follow these steps:

There could be a better way but this worked for me:

1) Open android studio, go to preferences by clicking on the top left 'Android Studio'

2) Search for 'avd' in the search bar. You'll see 'AVD Manager' in search results. It will be under 'Tools' folder.

3) Click on it and it will ask you to set up a short cut. Set it up. Say for example use 'V' as a shortcut.

4) Now open android studio and create a new project. After the project is created, press your shortcut that you had set. Like 'V' in our case. It will open the 'Virtual Devices Screen'

Answer 5

Fixed by enabling Groovy plugin. Enabling it also enables the "SDK manager" option.

1. Ctr+Shift+A
2. Write "Plugins"
3. Search for "Groovy"
4. Enable it and restart Android Studio.

Should be something to do with your Platform Settings. Try the below steps

1. Go to Project Structure -> Platform Settings -> SDKs
2. Select available SDK's as shown in screenshots
3. Re-start the Android Studio
4. Android will detect the framework in the right corner. Click on it
5. Then click ok as shown in second screenshot
