Could not launch './qemu/linux-x86_64/qemu-system-i386': No such file or directory

Question

With 25rc1 of the SDK tools I am having a problem when starting the emulators from $PATH

➜  ~  which emulator
/home/ligi/bin/android-sdk/tools/emulator
➜  ~  emu         


        

Answer 1

Make sure that ANDROID_EMULATOR_FORCE_32BIT is not set in your environment

Answer 2

yah my dns is blocked in the region i am visiting so i was searching for a way to add dns servers and start emulator at command line. default emulator in path did not work. instead go to your android SDK home and you'll see a emulator in there. use that emulator executable like this:

emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_26 -dns-server 8.8.8.8,208.67.222.222,199.85.126.10,8.8.4.4

i think you can give 4 dns's. anyway this is a side note. back to the issue:

people here did not mention much that you need the -avd flag with it. wanted to point that out.

Answer 3

If you're launching the emulator from command-line, try setting the current directory to your android sdk "tools" folder first.

This works for me as a workaround:

pushd ${ANDROID_HOME}/tools
emulator -avd ${EMULATOR_NAME} -wipe-data&
popd

Answer 4

This one works for me on MacOS Sierra.

Preference -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools (tab)

Tick on Android Emulator and Apply
