Android emulator won't start automatically

I’ve installed Android Studio and expo can run properly if I manually go to the AVD Manager and start up an emulator there first, but if the emulator isn’t already open I get an error:

Couldn't start project on Android: No Android connected device found, and no emulators could be started automatically.
Please connect a device or create an emulator (https://docs.expo.io/workflow/android-studio-emulator).

What setup or commands does expo need to be able to execute the emulator automatically? I have the android platform-tools directory in my path so I’m able to execute adb, although I had to add it to the path manually.
