Android Emulator is not running on Android Studio

Question

I am trying to create a demo instant app which was demonstrated at Google IO 2017. I see, this needs Android Studio 3.0 and latest build tools and only few devices are white-listed to use this newly introduced concept.

Here, you can see that I have created an avd machine named Nexus 5X, I captured details of created machine, here you can see:

Name: Nexus_5X_API_25
CPU/ABI: Google APIs Intel Atom (x86)
Path: C:\Users\williams\.android\avd\Nexus_5X_API_25.avd

Here is SDK tools snapshot:

Well, I am facing some challenges when I am running this emulator. It does not do anything when I click on run button of this emulator.

Here are the error logs:

Emulator: Could not launch 'C:\Users\williams\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator/qemu/windows-x86_64/qemu-system-i386.exe': No such file or directory

Emulator: [12360]:ERROR:./android/qt/qt_setup.cpp:28:Qt library not found at C:\Users\williams\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\lib64\qt\lib

Emulator: Process finished with exit code 2

Can anyone suggest what is wrong with this configuration ? BTW I have checked these Emulator in Android Studio doesn't start but no luck.

Answer 1

Android Studio AVD Manager will allow you to create an AVD, however your log error message and SDK Manager screenshot indicate you do not actually have the Android Emulator installed.

To develop with Instant Apps on the emulator, you need two things:

1. Android Emulator v26.1+ (you may need to change your Android Studio update channel to canary)

2. Use the Android O - "Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image" for your AVD. Android O has a a couple built-in platform features for Instant Apps that you will want to test. You need the Google Play store version, because the Instant Apps are distributed via Google Play Services and the Google Play store. For additional validation there is a Google Play enable system image for Android Nougat (API 24).

That's It!

There are certain multiple reasons for this issue, nevertheless you can give a try. Check if you have Android Emulator installed on your machine.
