Android Emulator not running for Cordova App - adb -s emulator-5584 shell cat /proc/cpuinfo

Question

I'm trying to make my environment work with Cordova and Android emulator with no success. I have installed the Android Studio and I can successfully start the Android Emulator.

I have created a cordova application with the command below:

cordova create myApp

I added support for the Android platform:

cordova plataform add android

I had the following output:

Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@~6.2.2
Adding android project...
Creating Cordova project for the Android platform:
        Path: platforms\android
        Package: io.cordova.hellocordova
        Name: HelloCordova
        Activity: MainActivity
        Android target: android-25
Subproject Path: CordovaLib
Android project created with [email protected]
Installing "cordova-plugin-whitelist" for android

   This plugin is only applicable for versions of cordova-android greater than 4.0. If you have a previous platform version, you do *not* need this plugin since the whitelist will be built in.

--save flag or autosave detected
Saving android@~6.2.3 into config.xml file ...

Then I try to run the application:

cordova run android

The emulator starts, after a while, that I have the error below in the command prompt:

No target specified and no devices found, deploying to emulator
No emulator specified, defaulting to Nexus_5X_API_24
Waiting for emulator to start...
Error: Failed to execute shell command "getprop,dev.bootcomplete"" on device: 
Error: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe: Command failed with exit code 3221226356

Does anyone knows how to fix this error?

Some others environment info:

C:\>node -v
v7.4.0

C:\>cordova -v
7.0.1

C:\>java -version
java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

Edit 1

I have done those steps:

Uninstalled "Android SDK Tools"
Uninstalled "Android Studio"
Deleted files from "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\sdk" and "C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio" files (Because some maybe in use during the uninstallation)
Installed Android Studio
Updated Android Studio

When I execute the command below, I have more information about the error:

cordova run android --verbose

With this output:

Command finished with error code 3221226356: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe -s,emulator-5584,shell,cat,/proc/cpuinfo Error: Failed to execute shell command "cat,/proc/cpuinfo"" on device: Error: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe:Command failed with exit code 3221226356

When I execute the command below, the adb shows the emulator cpu info, after that, the process stops and the windows ask to break or debug

adb -s emulator-5584 shell cat /proc/cpuinfo

I had an advice to install Android SDK in a smaller path. So I changed the default installation from: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\sdk To: C:\Android\sdk The Android Studio was installed in : C:\Android\Android Studio The Gradle in: C:\Gradle\gradle-4.0.1\bin I had the same error. — mqueirozcorreia
I found this answer to work: stackoverflow.com/a/56474669/1766526 It only requires downgrading 3 adb files, not the whole SDK platform. — ExactaBox

Downgrade your SDK platform-tools to rev25.0.1.

If you dev in windows, you can download it in https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r25.0.1-windows.zip

delete or rename your old platform-tools folder, and extract the downloaded file to it.

Works for me!
