Hello everyone,

I am new to Android development and I need some help.

I am running Android Studio Narwhal 3 (version 2025.1.3) on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
I have an Android project that builds and runs successfully using Gradle, but when I try to run the app:

• No physical device is detected

• The Android emulator does not appear in the device selection list

• Because of this, I cannot run the app on any device

What works so far:

• The project builds without errors

• Android Studio opens normally

• Running adb devices in the terminal does detect my connected phone

• Opening chrome://inspect/#devices in Google Chrome also shows the device

• USB debugging is enabled on the phone

Problem:

• Despite ADB and Chrome recognizing the device, Android Studio does not show any device or emulator when I click Run

I am not sure if this is a configuration issue related to:

• Android Studio using a different ADB

• Emulator setup

• Run/Deployment configuration

• Android Studio settings

• Ubuntu permissions

Could someone please guide me on what steps I should check or how to fix this?

Thank you in advance.
