The “avdmanager is missing from the android sdk” error in VS Code usually occurs when the Android SDK does not have the required avdmanager tool. The avdmanager is responsible for managing Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) which are used for testing and running Android applications.
To resolve this issue, you can follow the below steps:
- Verify Android SDK Installation: Make sure you have a valid installation of the Android SDK on your system. You can download it from the official Android Developer website.
- Update or Reinstall Android SDK: If you already have the Android SDK installed, try updating it to the latest version using the Android SDK Manager. Alternatively, you can also try reinstalling the Android SDK to ensure a clean installation.
-
Set Android SDK Path: In VS Code, go to File > Preferences > Settings to open the settings.json file. Add the following line to set the Android SDK path:
"java.home": "<path_to_sdk>/java/bin/"
Make sure to replace “<path_to_sdk>” with the actual path to your Android SDK installation directory. - Restart VS Code: After making the changes, restart VS Code to apply the new settings.
Following these steps should resolve the “avdmanager is missing from the android sdk” error, and you should be able to use the AVD Manager within VS Code for managing your Android Virtual Devices.
