Cannot launch AVD in emulator:QT library not found


This seems to be an issue relating to the recent update. A temporary solution is to launch emulator from within the /path/to/android-sdk/tools directory in the commandline.

See https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=235461 to follow the issue.


All other answers did not work for me as "Android Emulator" was not installed with a standard installation of Android Studio. Make sure you have installed it and then try other answers if required.enter image description here


For Linux or Mac systems you can add the following to ~/.profile (or ~/.bashrc):

function emulator { cd "$(dirname "$(which emulator)")" && ./emulator "$@"; }

then run to load the changes:

source ~/.profile

(or source ~/.bashrc of course)

This will allow to execute emulator until they fix the issue
