Cannot start Android Studio. Android Studio stuck at the splash screen

Question

I am not able to start the android studio. I have set java path in environment variables and Android studio is also latest version. I have tried to install and run administrator but no help. Please help me...

Answer 1

1. Open file Android Studio setup directory/bin/idea.properties
2. Add disable.android.first.run=true to tail
3. Restart AS.

Answer 2

Going through the Known issues page(https://developer.android.com/studio/known-issues) found me the fix.

Answer 3

You have to set these additional PATHs

ANDROID_HOME = your SDK directory (android-sdk)
PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools

Actual Solution

None of the answers here specify on how to debug the problem, you need to run the bin\studio.bat script in the terminal and inspect the actual Idea exceptions in order to fix the problem.

No need to re-install, delete precious configuration (and plugins, etc.). Just read the error message!

For me, this was the issue:

ERROR - llij.ide.plugins.PluginManager - java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind
java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind

This means the plugin manager is trying to listen on a port that is not available. Is something listening on that port? For me, it is the stupid "excluded ports" by Windows, so I simply stopped the service: net stop winnat (as administrator), and confirmed that Android Studio started to work.

Don't delete your configuration files, especially if you don't want to re-configure your settings. Just read the log provided by the bin\studio.bat script.

As of January 2016, the most recent canary needs the property written as as:

-Ddisable.android.first.run=true

otherwise it complains about missing JAVA_HOME. (using windows 10)

Answer 10

As of March 2022, I was stuck in the splash screen was due to a plug-in conflict, but the IDE wasn't warning about it.

I received a warning balloon saying that I had the ExcelReader plug-in installed, suggesting me to install the new ExcelEditor plug-in, which is an improved (and paid ¬¬) version (I knew later). So I went and installed it and the IDE suggested restarting.

After restarting, the IDE always got stuck in the splash screen every single time I tried to launch it.

It wasn't until an hour later and so many launch attempts that, miraculously, the IDE launched and a dialog showed up warning about both plug-ins being not compatible so I had to disable one of them. It was a shame that it didn't warn me before. So I chose which one to disable on the dialog and it worked again.

Therefore, I suppose that if this were to happen again, it could be solved by editing the file /home/$USER/.config/Google/AndroidStudio2021.1/disabled_plugins.txt and adding the plug-in to the file manually.

In my case it was "com.chesterccw.excelreader" what I should have added. After that, of course, I uninstalled one of the plug-ins.

Answer 11

Studio doesn't start after upgrade

If Studio doesn't start after an upgrade, the problem may be due to an invalid Android Studio configuration imported from a previous version of Android Studio or an incompatible plugin. As a workaround, try deleting (or renaming, for backup purposes) the directory below, depending on the Android Studio version and operating system, and start Android Studio again. This will reset Android Studio to its default state, with all third-party plugins removed.

For Android Studio 4.1 and later:

Windows: %APPDATA%\Google\AndroidStudio<version>
Example: C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio<version>
Example: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.1

Linux: ~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio<version> and ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio<version>
Example: ~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio4.1 and ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1

For Android Studio 4.0 and earlier:

Windows: %HOMEPATH%\.AndroidStudio<version>\config
Example: C:\Users\your_user_name\.AndroidStudio3.6\config

macOS: ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio<version>
Example: ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio3.6

Linux: ~/.AndroidStudio<version>/config
Example: ~/.AndroidStudio3.6/config

Note that the configuration directory for Canary and Beta releases of Android Studio is PreviewX.Y instead of X.Y for the . For example, Android Studio 4.1 Canary builds use AndroidStudioPreview4.1, instead of the AndroidStudio4.1 directory that is used for Release Candidates and Stable releases.

Well if the problem is plugin born, then this is the only solution that worked for me (on debian linux)

1)

rm -rf ~/.local/share/Google/

or

rm -rf ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio2022.2/

-- replace with your version

2. start android studio
3. works ;)

Answer 13

just add this line disable.android.first.run=true at the bottom of the idea.properties file in the bin directory of the installation folder
