'I can get any emulators running in vs code
When I ever I try to create a new emulator I get this error I can get any emulators running in vs code. I am getting No suitable Android AVD system images are available. You may need to install these using sdkmanager, for example: sdkmanager "system-images;android-27;google_apis_playstore;x86"”
Solution 1:[1]
Open Android Studio -> Configure -> AVD Manager -> Run Your Virtual Device
Visual studio code -> View -> Command palette... -> Flutter: Select Device -> choose your android device
Solution 2:[2]
As explicitly stated, you have No suitable Android AVD system images available. Create the AVD through Android Studio first so you can easily download a system image with a click.
Solution 3:[3]
You have to start Android Studio run the emulator first, before running a flutter project.
Solution 4:[4]
Android Studio has changed, the new way to do this is:
From there you can
- Select which image you want to download (downloads are massive, be warned)
- Then click "next" to create the device
- Reload VSCode, and your device will appear!

Follow the following steps:
1-Check if there is the path for Android SDK under System Environment Variable PATH(Open Windows Control Panel and go to System (Control Panel->System and Security->System, select Advanced system settings, click on Environment Variable, In System variables section click on 'Path'). The path for Android SDK is usually C:\Users\{Your laptop username}\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\bin.
If it is not there, find the Android SDK path and it (pointing to your SDK tools bin location)
2- Run Windows Powershell and run the following command: sdkmanager "system-images;android-27;google_apis_playstore;x86"
If it starts downloading then wait until it is finished and and run the sdkmanger command above again and finally go to VS code and click on ctrl-shift-p and write Flutter: Select Device-> Create Android Emulator and it will not show the error message.
3-If you get this error after running the sdkmanger command : Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema Then you have to install multiple versions of Java because there is something wrong in the last version of Java. Download Java8 JDK from Oracle and install it. Then, copy Java8 JDK (it is usually C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_271) and go to Environment variables (following the instructions in step 1). In system variables click on JAVA-HOME and paste the copied path of Java 8 instead of the path of last version and click on Ok.
4-Click on Path (in system variables) and search on the path of last java version, click on it and paste Java 8 bin location (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_271*bin*) and click ok.
5-Exit the cmd and launch it (if you were using it before) and run the command: java -version You should get the following output:
java version "1.8.0_271"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_271-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.271-b09, mixed mode)
Thus, we have installed Java8 JDK.
6-Now run Windows Powershell and run the following command: sdkmanager "system-images;android-27;google_apis_playstore;x86" and it should start downloading.
7-Go to VS code and click on ctrl-shift-p and write Flutter: Select Device-> Create Android Emulator and it will not show the error message.
8-You can delete Java8 JDK and JRE now and reset the path of JAVA-HOME (copy the location of the last Java JDK and paste it there) and the path of Java bin to the original Path (System Variables->Path and change it to the Java bin location of the last version)

I was getting the exact same error as I was running out of space in my home folder. Cleaning up some space help me fix this issue.
Solution 7:[7]
First you need to set PATH in system environment variable so, How to do that ?.., See here.. go to system environment variable then click to "environment variables.." after that you will get this screenenter image description here
and then click to the PATH once and then click to edit button. After that there will be another screen in which browse option will there then you just browse to the path where you unzipped the flutter zip folder. and then select the bin folder uynder the flutter folder and then click ok and your flutter path has selected now,
after giving the right path you just to windows shell or flutter terminal and paste this
sdkmanager "system-images;android-27;google_apis_playstore;x86" there and do enter after some time it will get downloaded and you can create new emulatr
