Avd Manager In Android Studio Missing
Michael
I am following this ionic tutorial and having some trouble with setting up the SDK in Android Studio in order to test my ionic project.I am looking for the SDK manager however it seems to be missing. When I select the configure drop down menu there should be an SDK manager option however it is absent (as you can see in the following image):
Note: I had installed Android Studio a few years ago and it was working but uninstalled it again. I've tried to make sure everything was cleaned out before installing it again (i.e deleted the AndroidStudioProjects folder that was left) however I'm not sure what else to look for.
To be detailed: In your first picture, Configure -> Plugins, tick almost everything to enable (for me which is also using Android Studio 3.1.3, there are Android Support, Android APK Support, Firebase Services, Google Developers Samples, Firebase App Indexing, Firebase Testing, Test Recorder, Google Services, Google Cloud Tools For Android Studio, Android NDK Support, Android Games and App Links Assistant), then OK to Restart Android Studio.
To open the SDK Manager from Android Studio, click Tools > SDK Manager or click SDK Manager in the toolbar. If you're not using Android Studio, you can download tools using the sdkmanager command-line tool.
AVD Manager or SDK Manager becomes greyed out or goes missing from the Android Studio is the common issue that arises in Android studio. This guide explores all the possibilities of that happenings and discusses how you can solve them.
You can find the AVD Manager & SDK Manager option under the Tools menu as shown below. In the older version of the Android studio you will find this menu under the Tools -> Android.
SDK Build tools are installed when you create a new project. If it fails then you may have to install it again. You look at the build tab at the bottom of the screen, it will display the error message and option to install the Build tools. Install it and you should be able to see the AVD Manager.
Another way is to go to the SDK Manager. Under SDK Tools you will find the Android SDK Build tools. Install based on the API. Also ensure that you have the latest version of Emulator, Platform-Tools & SDK Tools installed.
Ensure that it points to the correct location. The SDK is usually installed at the location C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\sdk. If you cannot find the location or you have logged in as a different user, then you can create the folder and enter it here. Once the path is valid, the Android studio will download & install the required SDK on its own.
Debugging your Android Studio projects using a real device comes with many advantages. One such advantage is that a real device will run faster on a low-end computer than an emulator. Also, the process of using a real device can be as simple as just connecting the device to your computer via a USB cable.
The following are the usual causes of Android Studio not recognizing a device:
1. USB Debugging not enabled: Most Android phones have USB Debugging disabled by default. As a result, if you pick up such a device and connect it to your computer, Android Studio will not recognize it.
2. Missing device drivers: Your computer must have the correct drivers for your phone in order for both devices to communicate properly. In a case where these drivers are missing, Android Studio may fail to recognize your phone.
3. Selecting the wrong USB mode: When you connect your phone to a computer, you may see a prompt asking you to select a USB mode. For some devices, activating the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) mode will cause Android Studio to not recognize the device.
4. Damaged / non-data USB cable: A damaged USB cable or one that only supports power delivery may charge your phone without any issues. However, such cables will not support the USB Debugging option; hence, Android Studio will not recognize your device while using the cable. A damaged USB port on your device may also cause the same issue.
You can enable USB Debugging from the special Developer Options menu. This menu is hidden by default, and you can activate it from Settings > About Device on your phone. On the About Device page, tap on the build number until you get a "You are now a developer" message.
Once that is done, connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable that supports data transfer. You should see a prompt on your phone requesting permission for USB Debugging. Once you accept the prompt, you should see your phone name and model in Android Studio like this:
If you followed the first step and Android Studio still doesn't recognize your device, the issue might be missing drivers. There are several ways to obtain the correct driver for your device. For example, you may check the phone manufacturer's official website for drivers. To make the process of searching easier, click here to find links to the download pages for different manufacturers.
There are two options for installing this driver. The first option is via the SDK Manager in Android Studio. To do that, open Android Studio and navigate to Tools > SDK Manager, then switch to the SDK Tools tab. From the SDK Tools tab, look for Google USB Driver, check it, then click on Apply to download the driver.
Even with USB Debugging enabled and the correct drivers installed, wrong configurations on your device may cause Android Studio to not recognize it. The following are some configurations you should double-check to fix the error:
Another type of USB cable that Android Studio will not recognize is one that supports power delivery only. Usually, this type of cable has just two wires inside and is much thinner. Its only job is to send an electric current to your device for charging. Hence, make sure to use a cable that's not damaged and that supports data transfer.
In addition, a damaged USB port on your device may also behave like a damaged or charging-only USB cable.
If Android Studio is still not able to recognize your device, you should try verifying from your system's device manager whether your device is connected properly. On a Windows device, you can find the device manager from the control panel.
In the device manager, click on the Scan for Device button and wait. Look for your phone or ADB Interface in the device list. If you find your phone under the "Other devices" group, it means there was an issue and Windows could not recognize the device.
Right-click on your device and select Update Driver. On the next screen, select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers." On the new screen, click on the Have Disk button, then browse your computer for where you extracted the Google USB Driver. Follow the wizard and accept all prompts until the installation is complete. Once you're done, Android Studio should recognize your phone.
First, we listed some of the issues that lead to this error. The top reasons include not enabling USB Debugging, missing device drivers, and bad USB cables.
Next, we saw different ways to troubleshoot and fix the various issues that may cause Android Studio to not recognize a phone. In short, some of the fixes are making sure USB Debugging is enabled, installing device drivers, and using USB cables that support data transfer.
The main purpose of running Android Studio projects on a real device is to test the app you're building. This kind of test is called manual testing. In addition to manual testing, it's recommended that you do automated testing. Automated tests are faster and easier to repeat. If you'd like to try out automated testing that is user-friendly, you should try Waldo. Waldo is a mobile testing tool that makes testing less technical as it does away with writing test scripts.
BTW i switched to using LayoutInspector from android studio. With latest macOS uiautomatorviewer just stopped work. just create some blank android project. now see ->
in right bottom. tap on it and select device in menu.
In my android studio build gradle is failed i dont know how so then i check the log and i saw this error Error:Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.1] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
then i check it but android support respository is already installed version 47.0.0 i restart android studio but it shows same error how i solve this error from android studio please help me to solve this problem?
Could not find method compile() for arguments [org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web, org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jersey, org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc, com.h2database:h2:1.4.+] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
On your smartphone, you should see the charging icon.If this is the case, go to your notifications, scroll to the bottom until you see the notification saying that your phone is connected in Charging mode.
Android SDK packages can be installed directly from upstream using #Android Studio's SDK Manager or the sdkmanager command line tool (part of the Android SDK Tools). Some Android SDK packages are also available as AUR packages, they generally install to /opt/android-sdk/.
The Android Support Library is now available online from Google's Maven repository.You can also install it offline through the extras;android;m2repository SDK package (also available as android-support-repositoryAUR).
The AUR packages install the SDK in /opt/android-sdk/. This directory has root permissions, so keep in mind to run sdk manager as root. If you intend to use it as a regular user, create the android-sdk users group, add your user.
Set an access control list to let members of the newly created group write into the android-sdk folder. As running sdkmanager can also create new files, set the ACL as default ACL. the X in the default group entry means "allow execution if executable by the owner (or anyone else)"
