Nativescript-cli: Error when run tns run android command

[frankfullstack]

After install Android Studio, Android SDK, and all required things to build Android apps with NativeScript I get this error when I run the next command:

tns run android

OS:

Mac OS Sierra

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

Android

Please provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

• CLI: 2.5.4

Please tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

I have installed the Android Studio full application, not only the SDK one. If I run the tns run ioscommand, with all preinstalled things, It works correctly, but when I run tns run android it fails with the next error:

tns run android
Skipping prepare.
Searching for devices...
Could not find an emulator image to run your project.
# run android

I also tried to install Android SDK with the next command:

brew cask install android-sdk

without success.

Hi @frankfullstack

Most likely you have Android Studio installed, but you have no emulator images available.
Can you please run $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/avdmanager list avds and paste the output here?

[frankfullstack]

Thanks @dtopuzov I run that command and get the installed Devices (via Android Studio tools):

$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/avdmanager list avd

But when I run the tns run android I get the previous error.

[dtopuzov]

Can you also run tns run android --log trace and paste last lines (let's say last 100 lines) here.

As temporary workaround I can suggest you following:

1. Manually start Android emulator
2. tns run android will reuse running instance and it will not search for avd images.

Thanks @dtopuzov, I removed and added the android platform to the project and it solves that.

The tns run android is running normally.

I'm glad to here everything is fine.
Closing the issue.
