Problem

I use IntelliJ as main tool to code everything that can be related with the JVM, including Android apps.

When started a few months ago, didn't set any virtual device with any of the android tools and used Genymotion instead.

At date accomplished to get my first job as developer and used the virtual devices for the first time, so tried to make an installation in my machine, but have the option disable:

What I tried

The app it's executed, have configured and Android and Java SDK's, have the global variables in my machine configured.

Everything works, just the option seem disable.

I tried other posts in StackOverflow (like this) and followed a tutorial in GeekforGeeks, but everything just show that the manager should be enable.

Edit

About my IntelliJ installation, here are te specifications:

Solution

Well, after almost a month, finally resolved this problem.

For anyone wondering, all you have to do is set a correct and updated location of your Android SDK, and set the Android Facets to enable the device manager:

1. Android SDK: Go to Settings > Search for Android SDK > Enter the tab and select Edit > Set the correct path to your SDK and select the desired options to download or update > Follow the steps and done.

2. Android Facets: Go to File > Select Project Structure > Go to Facets > Set the Facets for your project (The Facets are customized for every project, search for documentation to see how to setup)
