Can't find android devices after moving Android directories

Tell us about the problem

I moved the Android (containing android-sdk and AndroidStudio directories) and .android directories to another hard drive because of space issues. I changed all environment variables that were linked to the previous location. (ANDROID_HOME, ANDROID_SDK_HOME and 2 others in the PATH) When I run tns run android, I have the following error Cannot find connected devices. and there indeed isnt any device found when running tns devices. Also, tns doctor finds no issues. Note that everything was working as intended before moving the directories and changing the env variables.

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

Android

Please provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

• CLI: 3.4.0
• Cross-platform modules: 3.4.0

Please tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

1. Install all the dependencies with @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://www.nativescript.org/setup/win'))" as told in the Windows Quick Setup
2. Move the Android and .android directories to another hard drive
3. Run tns run android into any NS project you have

I imagine I must have missed something to change but I can’t find what.

Regards.

@NickIliev It appears that the combination of Nexus 5X and the API 27 was the problem. I changed for a Nexus 6 and it’s working. I can’t find why the combination doesn’t work anymore though. Thank you a lot for your help through this issue! 😃

@Nqsty FYI: sometimes the newly created emulators are popping up a dialog that requires user interaction to grant authorization (just like the first time authorization for USB Debbuging on a real device), so maybe that was the case. I had similar cases where the prompt on the emulator has blocked the execution of any tns (or adb) commands so I had to explicitly grant access (by tapping the option in the prompted dialog).
