This could be due to studio.vmoptions Try this solution for workaround

Android Studio doesn't start after installing version 4.2 Studio tries to import previous .vmoptions and sanitize them to work with the garbage collector used by JDK 11. If that process fails, the IDE may not start for certain users who set custom VM options in the .vmoptions file.

To work around this issue, we recommend commenting out custom options in .vmoptions (using the “#” character). The .vmoptions file can be found in the following locations:

Windows

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData[Local|Roaming]\Google\AndroidStudio4.2\studio64.exe.vmoptions

macOS

~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.2/studio.vmoptions

Linux

~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio4.2/studio64.vmoptions

I know it's too late, but I'm sharing it with others who may face the same issue. For me, it was because I downloaded the wrong package (Appel ship pkg instead of Intel). So you need to download the right pkg version.

If you're not sure which one, you can find it from the about this mac

For me it was a bit different experience, when I tried opening Android studio for the first time in my Mac. It allowed me to create a new Project and then while loading the IDE it got stuck -

enter image description here

The IDE was not getting opened. Apparently it seems like it was downloading something of size around 250 MB. I was stuck there for around 30 mins.

Then after 30 mins when the IDE opened, it threw an error and asked to install missing platform and sync project.

enter image description here

I clicked on the link and a new installation started of Android SDK Platform 26.

enter image description here

After the SDK Platform being installed it threw another error and asked to install the SDK build tools. On clicking the link the installation started:-

Finally after the installation of the SDK build tools, I was able to open the Android studio and access the code error free:

Happy Coding!! :)

I faced same problem. Found the solution.. Just delete all files related to AndroidStudio first.. you can refer https://gist.github.com/tahmidsadik112/f08356d14a85d898299a

Now install AndroidStudio again and if you are behind any proxy then after launch setup the proxy with authentication.. That's it!!!

Its just downloading necessary elements and SDK if necessary. So please check your internet connection and give it some time to finish the download.
