( The answer is to the point, and I don’t understand why it has negative vote). I downloaded the emulator archive directly from the given link, but now the question was how do I get android studio to detect it, I tried extracting it to SDK folder but android studio would again try to download it, after searching a bit, I found out here, that I also need “ package.xml” and need to change revision version in XML to the downloaded emulator version.Īnd that’s what I’ll be guiding you through today, although I don’t think it need detailed explanation, and you can read original answer here.

I was installing android studio and it required to setup sdk, download emulator and platform tools etc, while downloading emulator, android studio showed no progress and after 3-4 attempts at it failing, and wasting my network data for nothing.
