AOSP x86_64 Emulator not visible in Android Studio

Issue

I am using AOSP emulator for testing my code. I downloaded the android10_release source code of AOSP in my pc. Then used the following commands

source build/envsetup.sh

set_stuff_for_environment

lunch aosp_x86_64-eng

make -j6

emulator

now after running these commands I am successfully able to run emulator in my pc OS of my pc is Ubuntu 18.04 I also installed many libraries for working with AOSP like jdk-8, python, curl, repo, git, and other stuff as per described in AOSP website

I am abe to see my emulator running in terminal by executing following commands

$ adb devices

List of devices attached emulator-5554 device

I am also able to install my apk in this emulator by executing following commands

$ adb install myapp.apk

and it gets installed and I can see it in emulator

Now coming to my question

Why this emulator not showing in Android studio in devices Even when I troubleshoot the adb connections in android studio it shows my emulator running but not showing in available devices.

Solution

Or connect to it via network adb connect localhost:5555 - port number is one higher than emulated device serial (in default case emulator-5554). Then it is visible in Android studio and it works without issues.

solution that works for me (tried on two different machines):

$ cd aosp
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-10.0.0_r29
...
$ repo sync
...
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch sdk_phone_x86
$ m -j16

waiting for aosp to build

$ emulator &
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554   device

$ adb connect localhost:5555
connected to localhost:5555
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554   device
localhost:5555  device

start Android Studio (tested with 3.5.3 & 3.6.0)

In the devices list I see: "unknown Android SDK build for x86" with a little green dot next to it.

When I click on Run or Debug everything works
