NullPointerExcepton in Android Studio plugin Android Support

Question

I am getting the following exception in Android Studio plugin Android Support.

To get out of this error, I updated the Android Studio to 14.1, but studio just builds the app but not runs it.

null

This is best addressed to the plugin support bugtracker, forum or email. — Nick Volynkin, May 20 '15 at 09:28

I Slove it by this step you should delete this file that you can do it .

go to the path :"C:\Users\Administrator.android\avd" and delete all the avd folders files .

try again ,you can get it.

Why this happens

at  com.android.sdklib.internal.avd.AvdManager.parseAvdInfo(AvdManager.java:1616)

The error seems to be in Android SDK library Android Virtual Device Manager. It tries to open a file, and some argument in File constructor is null.

Solution:

I installed the needed plugins again..and it works

What else can be done in similar situations:

Plugin damaged -> reinstall the plugin.
SDK damaged -> reinstall Android SDK.
Wrong version used -> check the used version or update Android SDK.

I reinstalled Android Studio. Reinstalles the Android Support plugin. Nothing works. Updated Android SDK. Nothing works – MSIslam Mar 09 '16 at 16:56
@MSI then ask another question. Add full error stacktrace and versions of Java SDK, Android studio and plugins. – Nick Volynkin Mar 09 '16 at 16:59

It seems to be due to virtual devices that are already created are causing problems.

How I solved this issue:

Delete all folders from C:\Users\<userName>\.android\avd
Recreate virtual device from avd manager

It can be solved by editing build.gradle file and synch your project again. I edited following line classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3' and it worked.

I solved this error by opening the AVD Manager in Android Studio and uninstalling and reinstalling my emulators.
