below the screen where I do not find Tools → Android → AVD Manager

in the above screenshot you can not find Android → AVD Manager , why it is not displayed.

Below are my installed packages:

1. SDK manager

2. SDK tools

Answer 1

I installed Android studio and could not directly access the AVD Manager. I had to follow the steps below:

• Created an empty project using Android Studio
• After the project is ready for use, I tried to open the action using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + shift + a and looked for AVD Manager AVD Manager
• When I double-clicked on AVD Manager, I received several errors in the console about the missing libararies along with a link to install the necessary dependencies. When you clicked on the links that were displayed with the error message, several packages were installed that were needed. After installing all the necessary packages, the AVD Manager icon will become active.

Interestingly, it looks like all the icons are offset to the right of the toolbar. try to open the actions using the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + A and, than the type of AVD Manager, the parameters of the avd manager look like this:

The only thing that worked for me (with an existing project on a new macOS installation) was:

 "File" > "Sync Project with Gradle Files" 

This was strange for me, since the project was built successfully without errors or log messages, but I could not start the project, and there was no Android in the "Tools" menu.

I already tried to create a new Android project and run it. This did not help with my existing project.

Here is a screenshot of how I fix it. I have come across this many times and it is always related to jazz related to configuration:

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

If you do this and your icon is still off, then you probably need to configure the emulator. I would recommend exploring the SDK Manager if that is the case.

Answer 5

I feel so damn stupid. In my case, it turned out that there were two projects in my Android Studio, one for my React Native app root and one for / android. If I close the project and open the / android project, I can again access the AVD Manager.

Answer 6

Fixed by enabling the Groovy plugin. Enabling also includes the SDK Manager option.

1. Ctr + Shift + A,
2. Write "Plugins"
3. Search "Groovy"
4. Turn it on and restart Android Studio.

There must be something to do with your platform settings. Try the following steps.

• Go to project structure → Platform settings → SDK
• Select an available SDK as shown in the screenshots
• Launch Android Studio
• Android will define the structure in the right corner. Click on it
• Then click ok as shown in the second screenshot

SDK Installation Framework

Answer 8

This happens when your project does not have a working module for the Android application. Creating a new project definitely solves this.

You can verify this using the command " Run > Edit Configurations > Adding Android App . If the Android application module does not work, then you will not see" AVD Manager "in the menu.

Answer 9

Follow these steps:

There might be a better way, but it worked for me:

1) Open Android Studio, go to settings by clicking on "Android Studio" in the upper left corner

2) Search for "AVD" in the search bar. You will see "AVD Manager" in the search results. It will be located in the "Tools" folder.

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

4) Now open the android studio and create a new project. After creating the project, click on the shortcut that you installed. Like "V" in our case. The "Virtual Device Screen" opens.

I had the same issue in my React Native Project. It was not only that the ADV Manager did not appear on the menu, but also in other tools that were also missing.

Everything returned to normal when I opened the project using the Import project option instead of Open an existing Android Studio project .

Answer 11

It seems that your AVD manager is not in the root directory of the SDK, follow the instructions

• Go to sdk \ tools \ lib \ and copy the file AVDManager.exe
• Paste it in the root of your sdk directory. You now have sdk \ AVD Manager.exe

Now try to run it.
