Avd - Panic: Could Not Open... - Not a Path Issue

AVD - PANIC: Could not open... - not a path issue

This has been asked a few times already, try these:

Create a environment variable called: ANDROID_SDK_HOME and set it to
C:\Users\Administrator Open Eclipse > Window > Preferences and click
in Run/Debug and String Substitution Add a new variable called:
user.home and set it to C:\Users\Administrator Create an AVD and run
it.

Original answer by Colin

an android project member says here:

As a work-around, you can define the environment variable
ANDROID_SDK_HOME to point to the directory containing your .android
directory. The emulator and SDK Manager will pick it up properly.

Starting emulator for AVD avd PANIC: Could not open: avd - Ubuntu 13.10

It might be that the AVD was created for a different user, as this blog post suggests. Check your /home/your-user-name/.android/avd content as well as /root/.android/avd. In my case, the AVDs I created landed up in root, whereas the IDE tried to find them in my user avd directory. Copying everything to the other AVD directory did the trick.

Good luck!

Android Emulator Error Message: PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPUS.

If you are using macOS, add both Android SDK emulator and tools directories to the path:

Step 1: In my case the order was important, first emulator and then tools.

export ANDROID_SDK=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK/emulator:$ANDROID_SDK/tools:$PATH

Step 2: Reload you .bash_profile Or .bashrc depending on OS

Step 3: Get list of emulators available:
$emulator -list-avds

Step 4: Launch emulator from the command line and Replace avd with the name of your emulator $emulator @avd

Don't forget to add the @ symbol.

This was tested with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and Android Studio 3.1.2.

Emulator in Android Studio doesn't start

I had the same problem. I just created the AVD with 768 MB RAM and it did run fine!

UPDATE: November 2022

This answer was almost from 10 years ago and will most propably not work on current version of Android Studio.
