I can't see AVD manager window in android studio 0.4.0

Question

I am using windows 8,android studio 0.4.0 jdk 7_45 and jre7 installed. JAVA_HOME and JAVA variables are also set in Environment Path Variables.

When I click on tools-> android->avd manager , it shows nothing (not even error anywhere) . Nothing at all happens.

What should i do? I guess this version is not very stable.

Answer 1

It Seems your AVD Manager is missing from root SDK directory please follow the Steps

1. Go to sdk\tools\lib\ and copy AVDManager.exe
2. Paste it to root of your sdk Directory.

Now you have sdk\AVD Manager.exe

Now try to run it.

Answer 2

Check the permission for your Android folder.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android

I fixed the same issue by right-clicking on the Android directory then

Properties->Security then selected the user name and ticked Full control then hit OK

Answer 3

If all else fails run as Administrator - this worked for me

Answer 4

Maybe, you need to go to android directory at first time. Try to run Android studio in projectName/android folder. Then button AVD Manager must be active.

Answer 5

Run monitor.bat from android/sdk/tools, It open Android Device monitor. From Window menu select AVD manager and also sdk manager.

Answer 6

You can try to access AVD without the help of Android studio.

AVD can be found:

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\AVD Manager.exe

You will need to run this as administrator by right clicking and clicking 'Run as Administrator'

Answer 7

I got the same problem.

Check you don't have any errors on the bottom of android studio. I got one with sdk build. If you got the same click on the link in error log.

Next go to file -> settings -> Appearance&Behavior -> Menus and Toolbars. Roll up Main menu -> Tools. Choose Android. Click on 'Apply' button and 'OK'. Wait for a while (gradel progressbar on the bottom).

I hope that I solve your problem.
