无法在ubuntu的Android工作室中的模拟器中启动AVD

Question

I am using Android Studio 2.1.2. Operating system is Ubuntu 14.

I created an emulator using the image arm. When i started the emulator, I got the error as

Cannot launch AVD in emulator.

Output:

PANIC: HOME is defined but could not find Nexus_4_API_23.ini file in $HOME/.android/avd

(Note: avd is searched in the order of $ANDROID_AVD_HOME , $ANDROID_SDK_HOME/.android/avd and $HOME/.android/avd )".

Answer 1

I had this same issue in Xubuntu 16.04. I initially installed as the root user which caused the issue.

The Studio keeps looking for the avd path in your $HOME directory but it's actually in /root/.android/avd. You CAN copy the avd folder to your home dir but you may run into permission issues.

So I "reinstalled" under my current user which fixed it, these are the steps:

• Delete the .android folder under ~/.android

• Move the unzipped android-studio folder to /usr/local/.

• Add the /usr/local/android-studio/bin to the PATH variable.

• To permanently save it add it to your .bash_profile (or ~/.profile) file as:

  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/android-studio/bin

• Now you can run it in the terminal as studio.sh

• Run studio.sh and re-configure Android Studio.

• Rebuild your virtual device and try running it again.

That worked for me, hopefully it works for you.
