I just got done installing Android studio and trying to take it for a test run. When I try to run my app I get the following error message
emulator: ERROR: This AVD's configuration is missing a kernel file!! emulator: ERROR: ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is undefined
Does anybody know how to fix this????
If the Android Emulator does not start properly, this problem is often caused by problems with HAXM. HAXM issues are often the result of conflicts with other virtualization technologies, incorrect settings, or an out-of-date HAXM driver. Try reinstalling the HAXM driver, using the steps detailed in Installing HAXM.
The Android Emulator runs directly inside Android Studio by default. This allows you to conserve screen real estate, navigate quickly between the emulator and the editor window using hotkeys, and organize your IDE and emulator workflow in a single application window.
Launch the Android Emulator without first running an app. To start the emulator: Open the AVD Manager. Double-click an AVD, or click Run. The Android Emulator loads. While the emulator is running, you can run Android Studio projects and choose the emulator as the target device.
Even though the Android Studio Emulator might be (partially) broken on Windows 11 right now, you can still run Android apps on Windows 11 through the built-in Windows Subsystem for Android. In fact, with the ability to sideload apps, you can even test your Android Studio projects in Windows 11 without worrying about the emulator.
It turned out that the Android emulator looks for Android SDK via Global (environment) Variables, not the path defined inside Android Studio. So I edited the Environment variable of ANDROID_HOME and that was it. If your emulator worked fine but suddenly it doesn't, just restart the machine and run again.It worked for me. I faced the same problem.
While the emulator is running, you can run Android Studio projects and choose the emulator as the target device. You can also drag one or more APKs onto the emulator to install them, and then run them. The Android Emulator runs directly inside Android Studio by default.
It is possible that you really have no system images. Double-check that $ANDROID_HOME/system-images/android-<YOUR DESIRED API>/armeabi-v7a
exists and is not empty. If they really are missing - install/reinstall with SDK manager.
