react native - cant launch emulator on Android Studio - Unable to locate adb err

Question

Can't run any android app because it is unable to locate adb. When I click on "launch this AVD in the emulator", I get an error message "Unable to locate adb". I did look in the Android/Sdk/platform-tools, I have an "adb" executable. I tried to uninstall the folder and reinstall it - didn't help. I use Android Studio 4.1.1 on Windows.

Thanks in advance.

I suppose your error happened several reasons.

• First, didn't find adb.exe in system path.
• Second, the antivirus remove or blocked your adb.exe.
• Third, adb.exe is damaged.
• Fourth, some other reason.

Open Studio settings-->System settings --> Android SDK --> select SDK tool tab -->> select "Android SDK platform tool" and install.
