# Emulator can't find AVDs created by avdmanager (path mismatch)
|
|
|
|
**Date:** 2026-09-13 · **Machine:** Framework Laptop (Arch/Omarchy, pacman Android toolchain)
|
|
|
|
## Symptom
|
|
`avdmanager list avd` shows the AVD, but `emulator -avd <name>` says it doesn't exist / finds none.
|
|
|
|
## Diagnosis path
|
|
1. `avdmanager list avd` vs `ls ~/.android/avd` — mismatch: the toolchain is inconsistent about where AVDs live.
|
|
2. Pacman's `avdmanager` writes AVDs + ini files to `~/.config/.android/` while `emulator` reads `~/.android/`.
|
|
|
|
## Fix
|
|
Copy (or symlink) the AVD dir and its `.ini` from `~/.config/.android/avd/` into `~/.android/avd/`, and make sure the ini's `path=` points at the new location. Emulator sees them immediately.
|
|
|
|
## Environment facts
|
|
- gradle 9.7 + kotlin 2.4 via pacman; adb + scrcpy installed.
|
|
- Test device: Pixel 8 Pro, adb serial `3A251FDJG0067W`.
