28,054 PointsProblem with launching AVD emulator
Hi, i've just started the android studio course but i got an error launching the AVD in emulator. This is my error: Cannot launch AVD emulator. Output: emulator: ERROR: This AVD's configure is missing a kernel file!! emulator: ERROR: ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is undefined. I installed the android studio before and i think i did something wrong. When installing it again it somehow saved my previous installation settings. Should i format my mac from scratch and then install android studio so it wont have any previous settings installed or is it any more efficient way of solving this?
