For Windows

Check whether you have an emulator on your PC. If it is there add the path below to the environment variable C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator and remove C:\Users\deepank\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools

The tricky part is finding name @foo

  1. to find exact name of emulator run android command line emulator -list-avds aka ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator -list-avds 2.it will show you emulator names but emulator names that you pass to command line

enter image description here

bonus: you probably will get PANIC error in that case you need to add ANDROID_PATH read more here https://stackoverflow.com/a/49511666/6133329

First of all you need to check are you in correct folder?

$...local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator -list-avds

If so it will show you list of emulators that you have in your Android studio you are on right track Last part for launching an emulator

local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator -avd Nexus_5X(name of your emulator you want to open)

The problem is, that you have specified your SDK in a file what has space, in its name For example: Android SDK You need to change it to something what hasn't got space in its name.

Hope it helps.

Or if you specified it in the Program Files use it: Progra~1 instead of Program Files.

You are not specifying what AVD to launch. Please read the SDK docs in full, they will show you how to do this.

Tip: Launch the "android.exe" (I think, I use Linux where it's simply "android") app instead, create an AVD and launch it, all from the graphical interface.

On windows don't install the Android SDK to a path with spaces in it like C:\Program Files\AndroidSDK. Instead install it to C:\AndroidSDK\ or something like that.
