#CANNOT LAUNCH AVD I N EMULATOR MAC ANDROID#
Now you’ll probably be able to successfully launch your Android Virtual Device.Editing Virtual Devices. Well, to me it’s easier to manually edit the binary. PS: Not sure, but there are probably some utilites like qemu-img allowing to set different base image. Then select the path and get its length in hex (e.g. If the data on the emulator is important to you, then open all qcow2 files one by one using any HEX editor (I prefer HxD), find the path of a base img file, and change it to the correct one in the Overwrite mode (to preserve the file size). In this case you will get a clean version of Android, like after a hard reset. If you don’t care about the data the AVD contains, just delete all the qcow2 files from the AVD directory (e.g. Qemu-system-i386.exe: -drive if=none,overlap-check=none,cache=unsafe,index=0,id=system,file= C:\Users\\.android\avd\.Īvd\2,read-only: Could not open backing file: Could not open ‘ \system-images\android-22\google_apis\x86\system.img‘: Invalid argument The last problem I’ll mention happens when you’re trying to move AVD or SDK from one computer or directory to another. Qcow2-files refer to incorrect/nonexistent base-images

To list all available packages use sdkmanager -list or sdkmanager -list -verboseĪlso I recommend to install HAXM on your system manually.
Instead of it you have either to use Android Studio, or tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat (Linux/MacOS probably have sh files). Note that the most recent versions on SDK don’t have a standalone SDK Manager.exe. Platform-tools (ndroid SDK Platform-Tools)Īnd as I mentioned earlier you must install system images your AVD is using, for example system-images android-25 google_apis x86
So, to successfully launch any AVD you must be sure that at least these packages are installed: emulator (Android Emulator) Some emulator functionality will not work until a custom path to ADB is added in the extended settings page.
That probably means that you don’t have all the required packages installed.Ĭould not automatically detect an ADB binary. The next problem you may face is that the emulator starts to launch, but hangs up or quits immediatelly. Required packages and HAXM are not installed If they’re not, then now you may try to set up ANDROID_SDK_ROOT variable. If everything’s set up properly, when these errors about ANDROID_SDK_ROOT must be gone.

If it doesn’t, then you have to open the SDK Manager and download system images your AVD requires (see below). Make sure that this directory exists and contains files like build.prop, system.img, etc. It points at the directory inside SDK containing system images. Go to /.android/avd/ and open config.ini. If some of them don’t exist, then just create empty dirs. It is very important! These directories must be present. Please do the following:Ĭheck that the SDK directory has at least these 4 directories: emulator, platforms, platform-tools, system-images. If it doesn’t, then your SDK probably has wrong filetree. And in this case it must detect the SDK location automatically. But in general, your emulator stays inside the SDK dir. It’s only needed when the emulator is located outside of the SDK directory. So, first of all I recommend to remove the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT variable at all. These 2 errors happen if the emulator cannot find the SDK, or the SDK is broken. android and make sure the AVD Manager successfully found your Virtual Device.Īlso check paths in /.android/avd/.ini Incomplete/corrupted SDK stucture PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path. android to another place then set the ANDROID_SDK_HOME environment variable to the path of the parent dir containing your.
Of course I assume that you have any AVD created, and it is located in C:\Users\\.android\avd (Windows) or ~/.android/avd (Linux/MacOS). There are may be several different problems when you move your AVD or SDK to another directory, or replace an old SDK with a new one, or somehow get the SDK corrupted.īelow I’ll describe all the possible problems I know, and will give you several ways to solve them.
