After updating to Android Studio 2 when I try to run my application and choose an emulator, I wait for the emulator to start and it suddenly gets killed. I can see the emulator process for some minutes but never the GUI. In Android studio, I get the error
android studio Error while waiting for the device: The emulator process for AVD was killed
This happens even if I run the emulator outside Android Studio. I have tried both an Android 6 and an Android 4.4-based emulator.
Running on a Windows 7 x64 PC. Similar post to another StackOverflow post which was closed. I have tried various ram, VM heap, and resolution settings.
I hit this issue trying to run Android API 30. In the end, I had to upgrade Android Emulator to 30.1.5 (it was 30.1.2 before this).
I had the same issue, the problem was there is not enough space in my disk drive.. you can see details about your specific situation in layer 'Event Log' this layer regularly is at the bottom on Android studio, it was my output Log:
"02:45 PM Emulator: emulator: ERROR: Not enough space to create userdata partition. Available: 3310.363281 MB at /home/user/.android/avd/my_Nexus_5X_API_27.avd, need 7372.800000 MB."
I had just 7 GB free, so just delete some GB's in my D.D. and it's working fine.
For me it seems it was a problem that OpenGL didn't work on my machine. I fixed it as follows:
Go to: Tools > Android > AVD Manager
Press the "edit" (pencil) icon next to your AVD
Change "Graphics" to "Software".
Check the free space of the emulator installation drive is more than 5 GB
Install the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator worked for me.
This worked for me:
Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools (tab) -> Deselect 'Android Emulator' -> OK
Now, when you try to run your app, or launch device from AVD Manager, it will give the 'Install Emulator' error -> Click Ok.
This will automatically download the correct version.
For Android Studio v4.1 and above:
Menu -> Android Studio -> Preferences -> Tools -> Emulator
Uncheck Launch in a tool window option.
This issue happens when you have two Android SDK installations on your machine and the environment variable "ANDROID_HOME" points to the wrong location.
To fix it go to Android Studio settings, find the proper Android SDK location, update the environment variable and restart Android Studio / your PC.
I resolved the same issue by updating the Android Emulator.
Steps:
1. In Android Studio Go to TOOLS
2. SDK Manager
3. Android SDK
4. SDK Tools
5. Update the Android Emulator.
Then it will Run.

Faced a similar issue, tried the above solutions as well and it didn't work.
Would like to suggest a simple solution which could help if the above suggestions didn't address the issue.
Solution - Try cleaning up space in the system. My problem was I had only 1GB left while trying to launch the emulator after cleaning up space got 8GB and was able to launch the emulator.
In android studio version 4.0 (WINDOWS), I could find the solution by just checking android studio welcome screen and clicking on the "Events" dropdown AFTER trying to launch the emulator (hence after getting the error):
the events section clearly shows that ANDROID_SDK_ROOT was not set in my system.
In a nutshell, whenever you see such error when starting the emulator, just check the "events" section in the welcome to android studio screen to find the real problem.
Beware that if ANDROID_HOME is not set properly, it will still tell you that ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is broken.
In my case, after installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 (both x86 and x64 version), the issue is solved.
But wait! Why did I know this? I will tell you my experience.
When your program meets a bug, the first thing you need to do is finding the log to debug. But where is the log file that records all the events of the Android emulator? Click Help→Show log in Explorer. And then a new window is oepned, where a file called idea.log is located, and that log file is what we are looking for.
But this file may has recorded too much verbose info, so let's do following processes to get a more simple one:
·Exit Android Studio
·Delete the idea.log
·Open Android Studio
·Click Tools→ AVD Manerger
·Start one of emulators you have created, and needless to say, the error will occur again. But the idea.log will be created and the error is recorded into the log file now!
·Exit Android Studio.
·Open the idea.log and begin to analyze it.
·Search "emulator", and in my case there are 2 messages catching my eyes:
INFO - manager.EmulatorProcessHandler - Emulator: E:\cache\SDK\emulator\emulator.exe -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd Nexus_5_API_22
INFO - manager.EmulatorProcessHandler - Emulator: Process finished with exit code -1073741515 (0xC0000135)
Obviously, the "exit code 1073741515" is something important, and actually many people have asked what it means in StackOverFlow, but unfortunately, I can't find any useful info about it. So let's pass it and focus on the first message.
Open the command line (Press "Win"+"R" → Enter "CMD" → Click "OK"), copy the above message E:\cache\SDK\emulator\emulator.exe -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd Nexus_5_API_22
and paste it to the command line. Press Enter.
I totally didn't know what this command meaned, but it's reasonable to deduce that Android Studio ran this command and resulted in the error, so I will try to reproduce the issue.
After that, an error window pop up, saying "...VCRUNTIME140_1.dll is missing...". I know I have been close to the answer. So I serch "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll Missing" on google, and people said that "downloading and installing both the x86 and x64 versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 Redistributable will resolve this problem".
So I download both the x86 and x64 version and install them. After doing this, I run the emulator again, and everything goes well.
You need to update the following tools.
Please check your free space on your disk also. I had a same problem and finally I got I need to free up space to fix this.
If you're on the Apple Silicon (M1) chip, make sure you're using an ARM64-based emulator:
If you're not, create a new Virtual Device and use the arm64-v8a image from Other images.
Go to: Tools > Android > AVD Manager and Press the "edit" (pencil)
icon next to your AVD , Change "Graphics" to "Software".
work on my Windows 10 machine and ubuntu 18.04
If your username is not in ascii/ has spaces then this may help, as I tried all of the solutions here and couldn't fix this problem:
Note: I found this solution on this video, suggested by a user called "tatachka", this is her comment (she kindly let me share it here).
For example, I had this path
c:\Users\Таня.android\avd\Nexus_One_API_24.avd My name in Windows is
Таня, written in Cyrillic in windows encoding (cp1251). I changed the
path to e:\Distribu\AVD.android\avd\Nexus_One_API_24.avd I moved
files from disk C there and edited Nexus_One_API_24.ini changing the
path in it and everything worked.
How to change the folder path: My computer -> properties -> advanced
system parameters -> environment variables - > lower 'New...' button:
variable name: ANDROID_SDK_HOME variable value: e:\Distribu\AVD
(in my case)
After the reboot, a new folder(.android) appears in the folder
e:\Distribu\AVD containing the 'avd' folder
EDIT: For clarification, the idea here is that you don't want the path to have non-ascii characters. I moved it to C:\programs_that_cant_read_hebrew (and preformed the other steps) and it worked just fine.
EDIT: changed "English" to "ascii/ spaces" after the comments
I get this same error if you upgrade the emulator to version 30+ and run mac < 10.15
You see the real error if you run it from commandline
~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator -avd <name>
emulator: Android emulator version 30.5.3.0 (build_id 7196367) (CL:N/A)
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/IOUSBHost.framework/Versions/A/IOUSBHost
You can fix this to upgrade to Big Sur or downgrade the emulator with these steps.
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-darwin-6885378.zip
unzip emulator-darwin-5395263.zip
mv ~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator ~/Library/Android/sdk/previous-emulator
mv emulator ~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator
cp ~/Library/Android/sdk/previous-emulator/package.xml ~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/package.xml
Check if it succeed:
cd ~
~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator -version
28.0.25.0
~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator -list-avds

Edited April 8th 2021: I updated the emulator link to a newer version as mentioned in the comments
My case was: GOOGLE PLAY.
My virtual device was Pixel 4...
As shown on pic, Pixel4 has Google Play support, so that it give this error: " The emulator process for AVD Pixel4 was killed."
It gives error on Android Studio 4.1.1.
So that, I created a new virtual device(Pixel 4XL) and selected "SOFTWARE" for emulated performance...
Because this device doesnt have Google Play support, it worked for me.
Simple solution 2021
Go to AVD Manager
Find the emulator you are trying to use and then click on the down arrow
Select the option Show on Disk
delete every file that ends with .lock
Runs again the emulator and after this will initialize
goto tools>android>sdkmanager and update emulator and install related API level.It worked for me
This was working for me. You must update to android studio to latest version and then follow step below to update sdk tool:
Tools -> SDK Managers
Select Android SDK
Tab on SDK Tools
Check to update options available.
Press ok button
After that this procedure will take you some minutes, after it completed, everything will works fine.
I know so many people have given answers to this question many have valid points as well.
I have tried all the above possible ways, but it was not working, after reading logs from the android studio, I came to know it was a storage issue, for the emulator keep 11 GB space free and it will work.
Despite the question has been asked specifically for Windows, I will give my answer for MacOS 11.4 Big Sur, since this thread is the first hit on google when searching for this issue, and none of the answers already given solved the problem for me.
I found the solution to my problem here - for retention reasons, i will repeat the detailed steps anyway:
open Terminal and go to the directory /Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/qemu/darwin-x86_64/
create an xml file named entitlements.xml with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>com.apple.security.hypervisor</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
resign the emulator
codesign -s - --entitlements entitlements.xml --force qemu-system-x86_64
start the simulator
For me it was a problem of available space left in my computer and deleting unnecessary files solved the problem. Causes are vary from situations and you should see event tab which detailed event log are showed.
To summarize the above:
Install and reinstall HAXM 7.5.6 (only available version) under 'Android SDK' settings. Try downloading it manually, even other versions (they don't work with Android SDK), installing it from the Android/Sdk folder, etc. sc query intelhaxm in cmd should show if it is running correctly.
Virtualization is enabled in your BIOS and has been tested
Made sure the PATH variables are correct (ANDROID_HOME / ANDROID_SDK_ROOT) but NOT (ANDROID_SDK_HOME) to the folder in your settings per Here. Otherwise, you will see EVENTS on the Android Studio splash screen.
Try unchecking / rechecking Launch in a tool window in Emulator settings (and even Enable Device Frame in AVD settings)
Try rebuilding in several different combinations of android, different phones, etc (but with same levels and packages ... 30 for example)
Try Rebooting in several different configurations
Make sure all SDK Tools are up-to-date, and even try a fresh install of Android Studio. However, tried removing all of them, and adding them back.
Check your space, try to have 25GB maybe or more free
Check for Virtual Box, Antivirus Software, etc.
Open Android Studio with Administrator privileges
RUNNING ON DUAL MONITORS / DOCKING STATION ?
A) Run the emulator with everything unplugged, then plug back in your monitor! (Odd I know)... OR Better yet...
B) Create a New Hardware Profile, which will enable you to change Graphics: Automatic to Software.
In Android Studio Go to Help -> Show logs in explorer
Try to run the Emulator again of the errors are as below :
handleCpuAcceleration: feature check for hvf
cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed
cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed
Then install Microsoft VS Code and go to below path
C:\Users<User>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code
Copy the vulkan-1.dll and paste in below path
C:\Users<User>\AppData\Local\Android\emulator\lib64
For me this solutions worked
For me, just deleting ANDROID_SDK_HOME from the environment variable list solved the problem
I tried every single answer in here but none of them worked, but finally I got it working when I run it on an emulator device with Android API 28. I think the problem is the emulator device couldn't run Android API 30.
I think this is problem of Android studio 2 Update or Problem to solve please Update also Android sdk version also then work properly.
I'm building an app in Android Studio (beta) 0.8.9, though I can't seem to get emulators running. I've made a Nexus 4 and 5 emulator through the options, but I can't seem to get them started. It shows this in the Run App tab.
Waiting for device.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\tools\emulator.exe" -avd smallEmulator -netspeed full -netdelay none
So either it's not starting up, or I'm just an impatient SOB.
I've also downloaded Genymotion and started up an emulator through that, but now Android Studio doesn't recognize the emulator anymore. I try to run my app and check for any running devices, but it doesn't show up, despite the fact that it actually is running.
I've added the Genymotion plug-in, to no avail. No idea what went wrong.
I also have a One Plus One, which I'm not sure how I can debug on that. They don't seem to have drivers for that and haven't immediatly found anything on Google so far.
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I fixed my problem. I used Genymotion to fix the problem. The running emulator wasn't turning up, because the android SDK's weren't linked to one another. Genymotion and Android Studio used different ones. So I edited Genymotion's settings to use the same one of AS and now it works!
First of all, update android studio. Check if the emulators run from the AVD manager outside Android Studio, I mean by starting it up manually from ur SDK installation folder (AVD Manager.exe) . Check the path of ur emulator in .ini file in C:>Users>user-name >.android>avd. U can make a system variable for ur SDK folder "ANDROID_SDK_HOME" and place the .android folder's content there (the whole .android folder). Sometimes "resetting the adb" after u run emulator may work.
There may be an easier fix than what was previously mentioned. Try opening Android Studio, go to File, Settings, plugins. Select the “Browse Repositories” button at the bottom of the page. Scroll down the displayed page to find “Genymotion”; select it and install it.
When it has installed, restart Android Studio. Again, go to File, Settings, then go to Other Settings. Genymotion should show up as an option. There will be a field that asks for the path to the Genymotion folder.
Mine was: C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion. At any rate, enter the path, click Apply or OK and Android Studio should recognize Genymotion (You may need to restart AS once again). Now you should have a small red icon on Android Studios tool bar; when you hover over it a pop up that identifies it as “Genymotion Device Manager”. Click on it, select a device to load, click start and allow the virtual device to start completely. Now run your Android Studio project; the Android Studio “Device Chooser” will pop up. You should see the Genymotion device you’d started previously, select it and you’re good.
Hope this helps…
I have a problem with AVD. If I launch it from eclipse, load well but doesn't appear in screen. After that, I try it from terminal but I got the "Segmentation fault" message. Reading another topic I read that it is problem with 20 version of android SDK and to fix it, I should try: .../tools/emulator-arm #nameAVD. It works.
But I still have a problem, I need launch AVD from eclipse to debug applications! Can somebody help me?
Thak you a lot.
Can you tell us a bit more about your system, build, and what version of Android/Eclipse you are using?
if not, try uninstalling and re-installing eclipse, but use the Eclipse Classic version from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
then if it doesn't work still, try to delete and redownload the android SDK.
if that still doesn't work then chances are you have something wrong with your system settings
======================
EDIT*** here is a possible TEMPORARY solution..
only use Eclipse to clean/Build your projects, and use your terminal to install your app onto your emulator.
to build an APK without running, right click on your project, go to "Android Tools" and hit "Export Unsigned Package", which will prompt you to store the APK on to some place. Then, open up your AVD emulator and terminal. on your terminal, "cd" into the directory that you saved your APK file (like inside /...../Your Project/bin/) and then run the terminal command "adb install yourAPKfileName.apk"
this will automatically install the newest APK to your emulator and run it. since this process for building is a little slower than usual, i would recommend only building/running when you need to, and always export the APK to the same place, and have your terminal open to the same place, so that when you press "up" on the terminal, it repeats the last command you used :)

Not able to launch android emulator
Starting the Android emulator in SDK tools, revision 12
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing I followed the instructions here for a windows 7 machine using a 64 bit operating system. It's a clean system install. I first installed the Android SDK and then installed Eclipse and then installed the ADT Plugin.
At first, simply nothing was happening. I'd click window-> android and it'd bring up the list of emulators I had made. I'd select one then click start and nothing. ADB.exe wasn't even in my systems resources. I made sure Kaspersky had added adb.exe to it's trusted list and tried again, still no dice.
I then saw an article saying I should move adb.exe from platform-tools to just tools so I tried that. That made it switch from doing nothing (and reporting nothing in the console or logcat) to where it is now. It says
invalid command-line parameter: Files.
Hint: use '#foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.
please use -help for more information
Any more theories on what I can try would be greatly appreciated.
For further clarification the foo message happened with platform of 2.3.3. or 3.2 selected. When trying platform 3.0 it went back to nothing.
I had the same problem which was quite annoying me until I found a "fix" (well it does not solve the problem at its roots but helps a lot anyway):
Simple create a batch file with the following content:
CD "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
adb kill-server && adb start-server
Of course you have to adjust the correct android platform-tools path.
So whenever a running emulator is not recognized by Eclipse or DDMS simply run this batch.
I had this trouble when my SDK was installed in 'Program Files'.
The invalid command line parameter was the space in the program files part of the argument. I guess Android coming from a Linux world means that whitespace is it's enemy! Despite this being the default install location.
I moved the whole SDK (emulator included) to the root 'C:\' drive. It then started working a treat.
There is bug on the windows version.
Open a command line prompt in the /tools/ folder (which you can find in the sdk folder) then run the emulator-arm.exe -avd nameOfYourVirtualDeviceHere
(btw this will not fix the real issue but allows you to continue to work)
