before starting emulator

Answer 1

Try this:

1. Close the Android Studio
2. Delete the .idea folder from the project
3. Relaunch the Android studio and reopen your project

If this doesn’t help then please try to open the Android Studio in Admin mode. This issue could happened if Android Studio is launched in non-Administrator mode and it then failed to identify the android sdk installation on your machine

Solution: Relaunch Android Studio in administrator mode and configuring the android sdk: sudo /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/studio [For Mac, If it has installed in default Applications directory]
