Can't run AVD in Android Studio, Android home issue Ubuntu

Question

PANIC: Unknown AVD name [Nexus_S_API_24], use -list-avds to see valid list. ANDROID_SDK_HOME is defined but could not find Nexus_S_API_24.ini file in $ANDROID_SDK_HOME/.android/avd (Note: avd is searched in the order of $ANDROID_AVD_HOME,$ANDROID_SDK_HOME/.android/avd and $HOME/.android/avd)

This is the error I get, I have set the Android Home variables like this in the bashrc:

export ANDROID_HOME=/home/myname/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export ANDROID_AVD_HOME=/home/myname/.android/avd
export ANDROID_SDK_HOME=/home/myname/Android/Sdk

Answer 1

this is because of AVD name. try below command to get AVD information to fix this issue.

~/Android/Sdk/tools/bin/avdmanager list avd

run above command in your terminal and note the Android Virtual Devices name from response.

to run AVD

~/Android/Sdk/tools/emulator @xxxxxxxx

Note: xxxxxx replace with your avd name.
