Android Studio: You must specify a path to Genymotion folder to use this feature

Question

I\'ve downloaded and installed the Genymotion emulator plugin via the plugin wizard in Android Studio. I\'m running Android Studio on a Windows machine.

Answer 1

For Linux system :

• though your genymotion is installed in "/usr/bin" folder its actually points to opt directory in root.
• Use following path in android studio for genymotion : /opt/genymotion

Answer 2

make sure you have installed genymotion and virtual box then provide the link to genymotion location in windows by default is C:/program files/genymobile/genymotion

Answer 3

On a Ubuntu, you will find it here: /home/user/opt/genymobile/genymotion

Answer 4

In case it helps, when I needed to add the Genymotion install dir to my $PATH environment variable on Mac OS X, I had to use the following path:

/Applications/Genymotion.app/Contents/MacOS

Answer 5

What to do:

1. Open Genymotion itself (the round & pink icon on your desktop).

   2. Choose the "Settings" option from the upper menu.

   3. Choose the option "ADB" from the upper menu.

2. Select "Use Android custon SDK tools". Put the following path inside "Android SDK": C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion

   Why does it happen? you're getting the notice "You must specify a path to Genymotion folder to use this feature" because there's a bug in Genymotion working on Windows that misleads the Genymotion engine while trying to use the Android SDK.
