Android Studio - Unable to connect to device or emulator

I have a problem running apps in Android Studio. When I press Run, the "Select Deployment Target" dialog popup occurs, but I am never able to see any emulators or devices occur. The event log prints out the following and repeats indefinitely:

5/6/18
12:40 PM    Gradle sync started

I am able to run react-native projects using the command line, but when using Android Studio directly, this occurs.

I have tried creating new projects in Android Studio and still have the same results. I believe this started to happen once I updated from Android Studio 3.0 to 3.1.

Any ideas to fix this issue or get more information?

Thanks.

System Information:

MacOS High Sierra 10.3.14 Macbook Pro (Late 2011)

Software Information:

Android Studio 3.1.2 Java 9.0.4

I had the same problem. I resolved it using 10.0.2.2 instead of 0.0.0.0 for default AVD. I will hit 0.0.0.0 and work. Add the port with it as you desire. Add it in network-security-config too for cleartextTrafficPermitted.

10.0.2.2 is a Special alias to your host loopback interface (127.0.0.1 on your development machine)

If you are Genymotion emulator - use 10.0.3.2.

I also had a similar issue on Mac and fixed it by appending the line 127.0.0.1 localhost to /etc/hosts

I also had a similar issue on Mac and fixed it by removing the line ::1 localhost from /private/etc/hosts.

I had the same issue, i fixed it by removing 0.0.0.0 mapping in /etc/hosts.

Earlier i had a mapping 0.0.0.0 localhost in /etc/hosts file.
