Android Studio produces the following error:

The ADB binary at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe is obsolete and has serious performance problems with the Android Emulator. Please update to a newer version to get significantly faster app / file transfer

I tried to check at: SDK Manager -> SDK Tools -> Android SDK Build-Tools (link to that answer). But the last update has been installed already.

P.S. I know, such a question already exists (link to that question), but there I can't write a solution that helped me, because I don't have enough reputation points. So, I'll write here the solution, maybe it will help someone...

The Android Studio should recheck SDK (it should help, at least it helped me)

Go to:

SDK Manager -> Android SDK Location: (Edit) -> Next -> Next -> Finish

SDK Location doesn't have to be changed.

  1. Open SDK Manager
  2. Click on --> SDK Tools.
  3. Check--> Show Package Details. (Look at the bottom right corner)
  4. Under--> SDK Build-Tools, scroll to the bottom and check the last item. (when I checked it was 19.1.0)
  5. Click on--> Apply.
  6. A dialog box appears just click OK.
  7. It begins to install.
  8. After installation gets completed just click--> Finish.

in short, I also have that problem. I accidentally solved by switching the graphic card from Integrated to Dedicated Graphics Card on my laptop setting. That is it, no more error pop up.

in long, I was trying to the get the emulator run faster and less lag. I am using Android Studio 4 with Win 10 on lenovo notebook with Intel and AMD Graphics Card. I accidentally found this switching GPU method and it's work for me. I don't know why or how it is related to adb.exe. I tried to switch back and forth GPU several time to confirm it already.

Give it a try and kindly let me and other knows Thank you

Fiddling with the SDK manager did not work for me. Changing the emulator device Graphics from Automatic to Hardware fixed this issue for me.
