Emulator Not Working In Android Studio Mac

Could not automatically detect an ADB binary. Some emulator functionality will not work until a custom path to ADB is added. This can be done in Extended Controls (...) > Settings > General tab > 'Use detected ADB location'

I happened to download Android Studio that runs natively on M1 Silicon Mac, I was looking for an Android Emulator that could also run natively, after getting it installed when I ran the emulator I got the above messages.

Now the question that I had was - How to connect the emulator to Android Studio and run by applications that I want to test, here is how I was able to do this,

Turn on USB DEBUGGING from Open Android Studio, then click File Settings While on the Run apps on a hardware device, Android Emulator Present but Not Running. Enable USB debugging on your Android device. Add your Android SDK to the RAD Studio SDK Manager.

  1. Open Android Studio
  2. Go to: Menu -> Tools -> SDK Manager
  3. Click on SDK Tools Tab,
  4. Now Check on - 'Android SDK Platform-Tools'
  5. Click on OK to install.
  6. Now you should see 'Virtual Device' under Device Connector (just next to build icon)
  7. Run your App and it should start in Native M1 Android Emulator.

Run Android App from Android Studio on Native M1 Emulator.
  2. This makes it one of the best and fastest Android emulators. It comes with plugins for both Eclipse and Android Studio. Other than this, it is available on multiple operating systems Windows, Linux, and OS X. It also allows the use of a webcam for an emulated device as a camera. ADB commands can also be performed by using the ADB tunnel.
  3. The solution (if you do not want to disable Hyper-V) is to use Microsoft’s Android emulator, which is a free download here. In order to use this with Android Studio, you need to run the emulator first. Then, in Android Studio, go to Run – Edit Configurations and select Show Device Chooser Dialog under Deployment Target Options.

Using Android Studio Emulators in M1 Mac:

Previously, when M1 Macbooks were released, Android studio didn’t have any support for emulators. Google has released a different preview build for emulators. You can check this build here.

The problem with this preview build is that you can’t change the emulator device type. It works, but if you want to test your application on different device or different screen sizes, there was no other option available.

Recently, they released one change to the Android Studio SDK manager and downloading an extra emulator is no loger needed now.

In this post, I will quickly show you how to create Android Emulators on M1 chipset mac in Android Studio.

How to do that:

First, make sure that you have the latest Android Studio installed. If you have 4.1.2 or later Android studio version, this will work.

  1. First, start AVD manager. If you haven’t created any AVD or android virtual device before, you will find it in Tools->AVD Manager.

  2. Click on Create new virtual device button. It will show you a list of different devices. You can select any of these phones.

  1. Click on next. It will show you a list of system images. Basically, it shows different images for different Android Versions that can be used with the current AVD. Make sure to select the ‘Other image’ tab. Images listed under this tab are designed for Macbook M1.

That’s all. It will create one emulator using that selected image. You can also create different virtual devices using the same image.
