Emulator version 27.3.8 (windows latest)Įmulator version 28.0.22 (latest linux os latest)Įmulator version 28.0.22 (windows os latest)Įmulator version 30.1.5 (latest linux os latest)Įmulator version 30.1.5 (windows os latest).Android SDK base installer (offline windows).#Be sure to update the relevant tools, images etc to get the best experience Select the virtual device and click start.Run the newly created virtual devices and you should be good to go: Choose the required parameters of the AVD and click ok to create.Click on the AVD manager executable to bring the AVD setup dialog box.Now prepare your AVD (API level 27 or 28) After this your emulator will be updated (to 27.3.8 in my case):.When done, decompress the downloaded emulator.zip file and extract the emulator package to %USERPROFILE%\Android\android-sdk\tools or relevant path (yes you have to merge it into that folder, since the emulator doesn't have all libraries and files).
Download the latest (or suitable emulator) from the links supplied below.To shorten the story, firstly make sure the base packages are still intact, and upgrade the emulator as follows: Currently I successfully upgraded to version 27.3.8 (and running Android 9 smoothly). Thus the workaround involves a " manual/forced upgrade" of emulator tools. I discovered that even if you update the "SDK tools", the latest version that you can get is always 25.x.x which has problem on its own as it doesn't allow you to run API levels 26, 27 or 28, as I pointed out in my post on another site: Can't start Android 8.0 Oreo on emulator: “Decryption unsuccessful”Īfter some weeks of investigation I figured out, this was something to do the outdated emulator which is no longer provided unless you running Android Studio (which is contrary to what we want to achieve)įrom the looks of things it seems the emulator (originally distributedĪs part of the Android SDK Tools) is no longer updated since version Here the most important thing is that you must first install the base packages (i.e sdk tools, platform-tools, GUI sdk and AVD manager etc) found in the last installer version of SDK if you are starting form scratch, otherwise you can skip this step if you already a working sdk installation. If you are starting from scratch I suggest you go through this post first: How do I download the Android SDK without downloading Android Studio? I am pleased to say that the GUI is here to stay (despite having been officially cut off sometime in SDK 26) I am glad to inform the community that there is still a fully functional workaround to use the Android SDK whilst utilising the traditional GUI that most users are accustomed to.
