android - How to resolve 'Emulator: PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path. Please define ANDROID_SDK_ROOT'

Question

I created an AVD with 8.0. when I'm starting the AVD, it crashes and gives this error:

Emulator: PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path. Please define ANDROID_SDK_ROOT

I tried to resolve it by a previous answers available here, but none of them are working. I also tried defining AVD path in system settings, but that also didn't worked.

I'm using Android Studio 3.0 and system image for AVD 8.0 (Oreo)(API level 26).

Answer 1

I solved my issue like this...

Go to 'My Computer'-> 'Properties' ->'Advance System Settings' -> 'Environment Variables' -> inside 'System Variables' add "ANDROID_SDK_ROOT" or "ANDROID_HOME" and inside this set the path of your AVD.

After that Restart your Computer. You must Restart your computer, otherwise it won't work.

This method worked for me, situations may be different in other cases. Look here for more information.
