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

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

It happens when there is no runnable module for Android App in your project  Creating new project definitely solves this    You can check this using Run  gt  Edit Configurations  gt  Adding Android App  If there is not runnable Android App module then you can t see  AVD Manager  in the menu

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
