The only thing that worked for me  with an existing project on a fresh install of macOS  was    File   gt   Sync Project with Gradle Files    This was odd to me since building the project succeeded with no errors or log messages  but I couldn   t run the project and there was nothing Android in the Tools menu   I had already tried creating a new Android project and running that  It didn t help with my existing project

Follow these steps   There could be a better way but this worked for me   1  Open android studio  go to preferences by clicking on the top left  Android Studio   2  Search for  avd  in the search bar  You ll see  AVD Manager  in search results  It will be under  Tools  folder   3  Click on it and it will ask you to set up a short cut  Set it up  Say for example use  V  as a shortcut   4  Now open android studio and create a new project  After the project is created  press your shortcut that you had set  Like  V  in our case  It will open the  Virtual Devices Screen

I ran into this same problem on a Pixelbook  It ended up that I needed to enable  Settings  gt  Develop Android Apps  gt  Enable ADB Debugging in the Chromebook settings to get it working  Based on that  it seems possible that if AVD isn t working on other computers it might be an issue with ADB

Here is a screenshot of me fixing this  I ve encountered it many times  and it s always due to this config-related jazz    Click Event Log  bottom right  Click Configure of the Android Framework detected notification Done     If you do this and your icon still isn t lit up  then you probably need to set up the emulator still  I would recommend investigating the SDK Manager if so
