I still have the same problem with the Bumblebee version, but for now you can use the Search Everywhere feature (you can access "Search Everywhere" by pressing double shift) and type in

"Virtual Device Manager"

then it will works. This is a temporary solution for now.

As pointed out by the answer above, the update from an older version does not replace the button action correctly.

But to fix it for me (Android Studio on Linux), I had to edit the Navigation Bar Toolbar rather than the Main Toolbar. As the IntelliJ docs mention, the main toolbar is hidden by default.

(Could not comment on the original answer yet, so I had to create a separate response)

Step 1: Select FILE (on the top left)
Step 2: Select PROJECT STRUCTURE (<Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S> on Windows/Linux).
Step 3: Select MODULES on the left under Project Settings.
Step 4: Hit the plus (+) button.
Step 5: Add ANDROID and hit OK Button.

Now you can open Device Manager

If you cannot seem to be able to right-click the toolbar as Yahalom mentioned, go to View > Appearance and select Toolbar.

The toolbar will move and a big space will be available on the right to right-click.

I had the same problem, found the solution to return the icon to the toolbar, where it's easy to use it.

I guess it happans to anyone who upgrades from prvious version.

The idea is just to replace the "old" device manager with the new device manager created in 2021.1.1.

  1. Right click the right side of the top toolbar and click the "Customize Menues and toolbars.
  2. In the "Menus and Toolbar" window expand "Main Toolbar"
  3. Expand "Android.MainToolBarActionGroup"
  4. Press the "+" button in the top and select "Add Action..."
  5. In the "Choose Action To Add" windows , search for "Virtual Device manager", select it and press OK.
  6. You will see the the new icon is added.

To make sure it's working you can press OK to close this window and return to Android Studio main screen.

Now, you should have 2 similar icons in the toolbar, only the bubbles will be different.

  • The old is called "Device manager"
  • The new one is called "Virtual Device Manager"

Make sure it really works and opens the new Device Manager.

Once it is working , you can go back to the toolbar manger and delete the old icon.

Folow setps 1-3 above

  1. Locate the "Android.RunAndroidAvdManager" item, select it and delete it by pressing the "-" button in the top of the screen.
  2. Close this window and return to main screen.
