AVD not starting (no error message)

Question

I know that this was running on my system half a year ago, so I don't know what else to do.

I deleted every Android-related cofig-folders in my home directory. The newly generated config files are located in my home directory as well.

I'm starting Android Studio with an empty project (just created it new), click on "AVD Manager", install a Nexus6 with Nougat x86 (API Level 25) and then I'm hitting the "Launch this AVD in the emulator"-button.

At the bottom of Android-Studio a progress bar appears along with "Starting AVD...", but as the progress bar hits 100% nothing else happens. No error message, no process being started, simply nothing happens after hitting that button.

I installed the package from the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-studio. I'm using LXDE as the DE.

Answer 1

Looks like android studio needed to install emulator when it was updated... I got this problem after updating android studio and it was solved by the installing the emulator from SDK manager

Answer 2

Android emulator was not updated in my Android Studio. I went to SDK manager and installed the updated version from tools tab and then it started working.
