Failed emulator dependency

I'm trying to install the version 7 of system image for Android Q. It should be the beta 6. When I try to update in Android studio I receive an error saying emulator 29.1.7 not found but I can't see any update for the emulator. What I have to do? I'm using Android studio 3.4.2

Solution

  • Android emulator 29.1.7 is not yet a stable version, therefore Android Studio does not show you this upgrade if you check for updates from the Stable Channel. The update is however available on the non-stable Canary Channel.

    If you are fine with running a non-stable version of the emulator, then you can install it as follows:

    • Open the Settings dialog (File > Settings)
    • Go to Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Updates
    • Change to the Canary Channel in the dropdown box
    • Click OK.

    Then:

    • Open the SDK manager (Tools > SDK Manager)
    • Click the SDK Tools tab
    • Check the Android Emulator checkbox to have it updated to the latest release (which now should be > 29.1.7).
    • Click Apply.

    After the installation is done, switch back to the 'Stable Channel' in the updates settings, and check for new updates. The (stable) Android Q update should now run without issues.
