Unknown error while creating AVD in Android Studio

Question

AVD Manager in my android studio was working fine, until an unexpected shutdown caused AVD Manager to act weird. Now I can't run any AVD's.

When I click any system-image it says unknown error under recommendation. When I click finish it says:

An error occurred while creating the AVD. See Idea.log for more details.

Answer 1

I was able to solve this using this solution .

[Delete] *.ini files from a directory home//.android/avd It's for Ubuntu. In Windows it's also in the user's folder (.android/avd).

Answer 2

I deep dive into this issue and found the following solution. There was a problem to run mksdcard sdk tool. Some SDK tools such as mksdcard.exe require Microsoft Visual C++ runtime. So go to your System properties and check your System type:

Then based on your system type,(for me it was x64) download/update the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 from the link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

After installing Microsoft Visual C++, the problem was fixed. Also the Unknown error problem was fixed and I was able to create the avd successfully.
