Android Studio - VkCommonOperations.cpp:496: Failed to create Vulkan instance

Good day,

I use Android Studio on Linux Ubuntu and I get this error when emulating AVD using Nexus 5X API 29 86x:

Emulator: emulator: ERROR:
VkCommonOperations.cpp:496: Failed to create Vulkan instance.

I do not know what the problem is, everything is updated. I don't know how to fix it. I use Kotlin for programming, so maybe it's not that. Thanks for any advice!

Hello,

by using the Kotlin programming language in Android studio it is not. This is caused by API 29. To fix the error, follow these steps:

Download another device with a different API, feel free to API 28 and the error should stop. It is done here:

Android Studio
Open AVD (Android virtual device manager)
Create a virtual device
Choose a phone
Select API < 29 as the System image
Download
Try it ...
