Android Emulator not detected in VScode [ubuntu]

Question

I created an emulator using sdkmanager and avdmanager and ran it with emulator yet on restarting VScode, it couldn't detect the emulator

flutter devices output:

2 connected devices:

Linux (desktop) • linux  • linux-x64      • Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS 5.15.0-48-generic
Chrome (web)    • chrome • web-javascript • Google Chrome 106.0.xxx.xx

flutter doctor output:

Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):

    ✗ Unable to locate Android SDK.
      Install Android Studio from: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
      On first launch it will assist you in installing the Android SDK components.
      (or visit https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/linux#android-setup for detailed
      instructions).
      If the Android SDK has been installed to a custom location, please use
      `flutter config --android-sdk` to update to that location.

I have only installed comandline tools from android studio and added to path.(which i expected to work) and havn't installed Android Studio thus that flutter doctor output is expected. So is there any way around this? :)

Answer 1

You have probably not set the emulator path at bash_profile.

Open a terminal and type sudo nano ~/.bash_profile
Add export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator if not there.
ps: make sure export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk is also present above PATH=$PATH:$...
