No System image available when adding AVD in Android studio

Question

Just installed Android Studio and was trying to add an AVD. When I reached the "Select a system image" there were some to choose from, and I picked one and it started installing. However, the installation failed because my harddrive ran out of space. I cleaned up my harddrive and tried to add an AVD again. However, this time, when I reach the "Select a system image", there are no system images to choose from. Instead I see the message:

"No System image available. Are you connected to the internet?"

And yes, my internet is connected, and restarting Android studio did not help. How can I troubleshoot this issue?

Try [ invalidates caches/restart ] option – Fpc

Had similar problem and it was due to studio using up the /tmp -partition. See stackoverflow.com/a/41099456 – Extraditable

Answer 1

Start the SDK manager (Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager) and install some images.
Checking the "Show Package Details" checkbox allows for finer selections of what you need.

Its to easy to do:

1. Go to SDK Manager
2. Check the Show Package Details Checkbox
3. Check the System Image checkboxes based on your CPU architecture (x86 or x64) and your needs ( Google play)

4.Click on apply and Let it be downloaded

Give the answer on this site for the first time, so perhaps I can`t express clearly.

Once I happened this issue, and I run the sdkmanager application in android-sdk-path

cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager;

and I got this output.

Warning: java.net.UnknownHostException: dl.google.com
Warning: Failed to connect to host: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-3.xml
Warning: Failed to connect to host: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-2.xml
Warning: Failed to connect to host: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-1.xml
Warning: Failed to download any source lists!

the reason I got this is that my network can't connect the dl-google website. So I search the valid IP address, and I got this '203.208.41.36'.enter image description here. I changed the hosts file and save it.

203.208.41.36 dl.google.com

Then I run the avd manager again, and it worked. enter image description here

Answer 4

Probably your /tmp is full.

Close your Android Studio.

Check if exists some directory like /tmp/PackageOperation01/ and remove it.

You should find a partition in your system with more space than your /tmp, let say your /var has more.

So create a new directory like /var/tmp-android and edit the file ./android-studio/bin/studio.sh replace this line

VM_OPTIONS=""

with

VM_OPTIONS="-Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tmp-android

Tools>SDK Manager>HTTP Proxy, now select Manual proxy configuration then select HTTP, now fill as Host name: google.com
Port number: 80

Now everything is OK

Answer 6

Don't forget to invalidate cache- restart after you download the system image from the sdk.

Answer 7

Enable Firewall Timed Groups.

I am on my professional computer, my firewall manager (Trellix) is blocking by default when downloading libraries. In my case, Android Studio wasn't able to access to dl.google.com websites, so I had to enable the firewall timed groups.

To access it on windows, you go to notification icon at bootom right, click right on the Trellix icon, Quick settings, Enable Firewall Timed Groups.

In my case no connection to the internet was the problem.
