Why can't I run the android emulator? java.io.IOException: error=13, Permission denied

Question

I have installed everything like I was told to by the android website and all I keep getting after I create my avd is:

Failed to start emulator: Cannot run progr         


        

Answer 1

I fixed this by adding executable permission to the file"~/sdk/tools"

Open your terminal and

chmod +x system file path ~/tools/emulator
