-list-avds then launch results in PANIC

Issue

I listed the emulators using: emulator -list-avds

Attempt to launch an emulator: emulator -avd Pixel_XL_API_25

And terminal replies: PANIC: Unknown AVD name [Pixel_XL_API_25], use -list-avds to see valid list. ANDROID_AVD_HOME is defined but could not find Pixel_XL_API_25.ini file in $ANDROID_AVD_HOME (Note: avd is searched in the order of $ANDROID_AVD_HOME,$ANDROID_SDK_HOME/.android/avd and $HOME/.android/avd)

The path actually seems off: echo $ANDROID_AVD_HOME Produces: /Users/alex/.android

Which should be: /Users/alex/.android/avd

Fixed that, new exception: [140737069994944]:ERROR:./android/qt/qt_setup.cpp:28:Qt library not found at ../emulator/lib64/qt/lib Could not launch '../emulator/qemu/darwin-x86_64/qemu-system-i386': No such file or directory

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Solution

A solution that worked helped was to update my bash profile:

export ANDROID_HOME=${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/emulator

Could not launch emulator in Android Studio

Note: I still can't use the GUI integrated into Android Studio. I have to run the emulator command:

sudo emulator -avd Nexus_Emulator
