Error: "SDK emulator directory is missing" in Android Studio on Linux

Sorry for my bad English.
i had this problem in windows 10, but may be my solution works for you.
i search about this problem for 3 days! and found out this issue occurs because of:

  1. You are using bad VPN:
    for checking this run android studio and manually TYPE (in next item you will know why i am telling this) file address being download in browser. if you can download it, your connection has no problem.
    for example https://dl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-2.xml
    Android studio download progress image
  2. Your regional format is not to set English:
    as you can see in previous image, link contains a number (...addons_list-2) but because of regional format it not shown in English format and so it can not be downloaded. i used fiddler to recognize this; in fiddler link contained a "?" instead of "2"; so just change you regional format

    It seems that you have given the reason but not the solution. Does your 'regional format' mean system setting or software setting?
