Ways to resolve the error - Emulator: Panic: Cannot find avd system path. Please define android_sdk_root.

Question

The error

Emulator: PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path. Please define ANDROID_SDK_ROOT Emulator: Process finished with exit code 1

occurred when I run an app on the AVD created on the Android studio. I've tried to fix it for some days but have not resolved it yet. Can someone suggest a relevant solution to fix the ''Emulator: Panic: Cannot find avd system path. Please define android_sdk_root'' issue? Much appreciate your support.

The cause: This error happens because in the action column, there is no valid virtual device that downloaded SDK. Solution: To solve this error, you have to specify ANDROID_SDK_ROOT as an environment variable where SDK exists. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk" will be a default path and finally, you only need to restart your computer. Another way is access to Control Panel ->System and Security ->System ->Advance system settings ->Environment Variables. After that, specify variable value for ANDROID_HOME as "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk" and give your PC an username. Finally, let's restart your computer. You also can make AVD again instead of activing the virtual device.

Open Android Studio. Under the Tools, you'll find the AVD manager. Click on it to verify that the AVD manager is installed. Next, ensure that you have selected the right virtual device in the toolbar.

I was able to solve my problem by creating a Windows user that didn't have any accents or special characters, and then reinstalling Android Studio on that user. You can also change the environment variables.

Left click in My Computer> Advanced System Settings> Advanced Environment Variables

ANDROID_HOME = c:\my_sdk_path

ANDROID_SDK_ROOT = c:\my_sdk_path

JAVA_HOME = c:\program files\Java\yourJavaPath

the default path of SDK is c:\users\youruser\AppData\LocalAndroid\sdk

Add in a Path Variable the values are:

%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools

%ANDROID_HOME% ools

Restart windows after making changes and then try again.
