Hi @wtto00 !
Thanks issue.

Under what conditions does this Issue occur?

[wtto00]

Hello, thank you for your reply.

I would like to start an emulator in CI. Please wait a moment while I write an example to reproduce it.

[wtto00]

When installing an SDK, I must add the parameter --sdk_root otherwise it will throw an error could not determine SDK root.

jobs:
  # This workflow contains a single job called "build"
  build:
    # The type of runner that the job will run on
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    # Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
    steps:
      - name: Setup JDK 17
        uses: actions/setup-java@v3
        with:
          java-version: 17
          distribution: temurin

      - name: Setup Android SDK
        uses: amyu/setup-android@v3

      # Runs a set of commands using the runners shell
      - name: Run a multi-line script
        run: |
          sdkmanager --install "system-images;android-31;default;x86_64"
          avdmanager -s create avd --name Android_Emulator --package "system-images;android-31;default;x86_64"
          $ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator -list-avds
          $ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator -verbose -avd Android_Emulator

---

When I added the --sdk-root parameter, the SDK installation was successful.

But how do I use the installed SDK?

When I use avdmanager -s create avd --name SomeName --package "system-images;android-31;default;x86_64", it shows an error Error: Package path is not valid. Valid system image paths are: null.

Thanks for the demo!

I understand the problem.
The implementation did not work without --sdk-root parameter.

I have also found another problem and will fix it in V3
