xamarin android emulator not able to start - xamarin

I am unable to run my Xamarin project in the android emulator there is no start button just an error. The repair option is grayed out and the only option I can do is Duplicate which says I need to repair? if I try and install a new device I get an image failed message.
Is there anyway to fix this? Or delete and reinstall?

Select x86 instead of x86. HAXM works with x86
Check your installed SDKs in Android SDK manager within Visual Studio
if API 28 is missing download it. You need below 3 highlighted in order for x86-64 to work
If above doesnt work
Best option now is to repair Visual Studio with Android SDK
If that does not work uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio.

Cant download andrioid emulator in Visual Studio 2019

I'm trying to learn Xamarin but I cant seem to install Android emulator (not talking about the standalone version) Visual studio. I keep on getting the errors:
Install Android Studio and install the android packages from there. The program takes care of a lot of the initialisation process when installing the Android SDk, platforms tools, and the emulator. It seems to do a better job at it than Visual studio.
From the screenshot, the manager is being downloading the SDK Platforms 29, you should wait for other processes be finished. Then click the option of Android Emulator and Apply Changes to check whether it works.

Xamarin in Visual Studio 2017 - Installing the NDK and HAXM

I've set up Xamarin in VS through the Visual Studio Installer. I selected the Android NDK 13b and also selected the Intel HAXM.
Problem is:
1) The NDK does not show up under any selection.
2) Android device manager keeps stating that HAXM is not installed.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling them and even restarting my system, but it still isn't working. As a result, I keep getting errors when I try to run the Android Device Manager or launch the emulator.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'm half a mind do to a total reinstall

No emulators showing up for in the Run menu for UWP app. :(

I'm building a UWP app and want to test it out on a mobile emulator.
I've installed the newest SDK and Mobile Emulator found here:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive
I've also installed all the packages I would assume needed in Visual Studio 2017, but no emulator options are showing up in my run menu.. I have updated to the newest version of Visual Studio and even tried the same things in the preview, but with no luck.
I believe I have the right settings enabled in my BIOS and I'm currently running VS2017 on a Windows 10 Educational PC updated to the newest version.
I don't get why I'm not seeing any emulator options??
run visual studio installer
Select individual components
Uninstall all emulator in the emulators(this step is option, but I've found out few times I nee uninstall first before install the emulator)
Install necessary emulator which you need.
Make sure you are on dev mode in windows 10 and switch on hyper-V
In my case I had to select the correct build platforms. When ARM is selected there no Simulator available in the Run sub menu. But when I selected Any CPU, x86 or x64, the Simulator appeared.
As Miao say, you need to install the simulator from the Visual Studio Installer

Xamarin Studio cannot find Android tools/devices

After installing Xamarin Studio, I've found it to miss Android related items such as Android SDK Manager under Tools menu:
Additionally I cannot run the application on an actual device, nor see any emulator:
Please note that I've developed Android app using Eclipse prior to this so I have everything properly setup (including device driver, ADB, Android SDK/NDK, etc), and have also made Xamarin Studio work on another computer. The problem is that it refuses to work on this particular computer, and uninstall/install it didn't help.
How do I fix it so that Android tools are shown in Tools menu and I can run Xamarin applications on an emulator/actual device?
The following steps resolved the issue for me:
Uninstall Xamarin Studio
Uninstall x86 JRE/JDK 1.6 installed by Xamarin Installer
Run Xamarin Installer and let it reinstall both JRE/JDK & Xamarin Studio
Don't know why the Xamarin installation wasn't working correctly the first time, nor why the above steps work, but it worked.
