Android Emulator closed because of an internal error: GPU Found

I haven't been on Android Studios in a number of days. When I went back on my emulator kept getting killed. I deleted all my emulators and the AVD manager folder in .android. After selecting that the emulator graphics be Software GLES 2.0 the emulator works and can run the application but it is very, very slow. Only a week ago the emualtor and Android Studios worked great.
I am receiving this error messaging now after re-installing an emulator with API level 28 (Pie):

Answer that work [28. July 2021]
First of all update your graphic card with the latest driver. (Graphic Card Model can be checked through your Device Manager)
Type in your explorer the following path, where <pc_name> need to be replaced with your individual name:
C:\Users<pc_name>.android
In the above mentioned directory we will put a .ini file that I prepared and is ready to download here. This file will disable your Vulkan driver and enable your GLDirect driver that your AVDs don't lag anymore. (watch image below)
Start your AVD and you will be able to use it without any troubles.

There is a missing or corrupted file amdvlk64.dll.I fixed this by given steps.
Download amdvlk64.dll from This Link , this is for 64 bit OS, you can search fro 32 bit also.
After Download, extract the folder on your desktop.
Open Extracted folder and Copy the amdvlk64.dll file.
Now Paste this file in C:\Windows\System32
Again run the emulator, hopefully it will run.

In my case I resolved this by performing the pending SDK Tools updates in the SDK Manager.

I get this error (Emulator is closed because of internal error: gpu found)
suddenly while I am running my code. So how I solve the problem is,
Go to AVD Manager or (Virtual Device Manager).
Edit your AVD or (Virtual Device Manager).
Select 'Software GLES2.0' option on Emulated Performance.
Click Finish.
Start AVD again

Download and install this vulkan-dll driver.
There are those who think that the comment I added is a virus, I researched the subject a lot and finally reached the address, almost 48 hours later, so I installed my emulator, my aim is just to help.

For me, the same error showed even though I have NVIDIA GPU.
Restarting the system after the NVIDIA driver update fixed the problem.

I installed Android studio in Windows 10(AMD Ryzen), the following one helped me to run the emulator smoothly. Once you installed Virtual device from AVD manager successfully, then your emulator will popup the above error like Android emulator closed....amdvlk64.dll not found and amdvlk32.dll not found.... when you try to run your code. Just follow this steps to avoid those error, hope it works:
Close your Android studio and also emulator error popup. Go to
Control Panel.
Select Programs --> Programs and Features --> Turn windows feature
on or off (which lies in the extreme right side of the screen).
A popup appears, in that check the Windows Hypervisor Platform and
Virtual Machine Platform, then click Ok.
It ask you to restart your system, allow to restart.
After restart, now open Android studio and run your emulator, hope it will
run smoothly.

At times the error might be caused by the wrong system date/time set on your computer. Try updating the system date/time and restart the android emulator. In my case it was caused by the wrong system date/time.

run android emulator on mac

I am trying to run a phonegap application for android on my OSX.
when I try to run phonegap through CLI I get this
No target specified and no devices found, deploying to emulator
Error: No emulator images (avds) found.
1. Download desired System Image by running: /Users/susanne/Documents/roger/02_Onni/09_development/application/android-sdk-macosx/tools/android sdk
2. Create an AVD by running: /Users/susanne/Documents/roger/02_Onni/09_development/application/android-sdk-macosx/tools/android avd
HINT: For a faster emulator, use an Intel System Image and install the HAXM device driver
I have done no 1. but I cannot find the 'android avd' file mentioned in number 2. Also even though I connect an android device it does not find it.
I would be very happy if anyone could help. This is probably not a phonegap specific question but rather an Android question.

This problem is because of you didn't created device. So you have to firstly create the device in android sdk.
For creation of android device you have to install the avd first.
i have some screenshot hope help you.
Prepare your Android API like this:
Then go to Tools->Manage avds :
In my case i have created 2 devices already. go to Create:
and then add specification that which kind of device you want here is dummy for your understanding :
click Ok and your device will created. then run your app again.
thanks.

Android studio 1.x AVD not running?

I'm a newbie android developer ,since i upgraded to Andoid Studio 1.x from beta ,things became a lot easy , creating the AVD and managing SDK is managed better by the IDE now ,
I used the Default Nexus 5 config to setup an AVD,however can you please tell me how to safely turn it off ,I cant find any poweroff button , i have Intel HAXM set up and working fine, I got an error saying AVD instance aldready running etc asking me to delete the avd from user/android/avd/... which i did ,
WHen i created it i can run it just once, when i close and reopen studio and try to run again i get the following message
AVD Nexus_5_API_21 is already running.
If that is not the case, delete the files at
C:\Users\S****\.android\avd/Nexus_5_API_21.avd/*.lock
and try again
And what system image to use for the AVD, whats the difference between the ARM ,ATOM 86,ATOM 64 and googdle API images for the same android version, i use a windows 8.1 PC 64Bit running on a vt-x suported intel core i5 , 4200 u processor , which image should i use ,
Please Note i couldnt find solutons elsewhere and i doubt its an offtopic question as its about setting up a programming tool.
Btw the task manager shows a 32 bit emulator running
Thanks!

Here you Are :
when you click on turn on/off button emulator will be start/finish , also Remember after start emulator for first time you don't need to reOpen it!

Delete all files and directories with extetion .Lock at C:\Users\user_name.android\avd\emulator_name.avd\files.Lock and try Again.

Go to Tools>>Android>>Enable ADB Integration select this, It worked for me.

make sure sdk and avd manager added to your IDE correctly.
answer of your second question is,when you play your app in IDE a emulator will be run and on emulator toolbox you can turn off or turn on your emulator and also you can see your app running or not

I meet this situation today, but the file *.lock was deleted (not by me) when i run this emulater failed with error tips like
AVD Nexus_5_API_21 is already running.
If that is not the case, delete the files at
C:\Users\S****.android\avd/Nexus_5_API_21.avd/*.lock
so in the end, i duplicated this emulator and located the copy emulator's location and find the .*lock file and then i deleted it and it worked.

Installing apk on emulator in mac

I have followed following tut to install messaging-simulator.apk on my Nexus 7 emulator of adt sdk...
http://www.orhancanceylan.com/installing-and-testing-apk-files-to-the-android-emulator-on-mac/
But, after the device (virtual) is launched (which is annoyingly slow), no further action could be performed from terminal as it gets stuck or no progress is shown. (Basically, I am stuck after ./android command. Nothing can be entered in terminal after that. How do i resolve this?

If you can't type a thing in the terminal - just open a new Terminal window and type it there.
A few tips that will speed up your emulator
Make your emulator as intel x86. and check Use host GPU
Install HAXM from the sdk manager
make the settings like this:
I use mac to develop Android.

Thanks a ton to #Uriel Frankel. Yet, all those tips and tricks given by him did not work out for me due to low memory in my macbook.
So I have used Genymotion emulator(http://techapple.net/2014/05/3-best-android-emulators-for-mac-os-macbook-run-and-install-android-app-on-your-mac-os-x-macbook-airpro/) instead of default android emulator and successfully launched the app by installing it.
You can all try above solution first and if it did not work out, use Genymotion, it's cool :)

genymotion: "player.exe sttoped working"

I installed the package of GENYMOTION for windows(7) from their official web. It installed me the Oracle VM VirtualBox and the Genymotion. After that I opened the VirtualBox and then the Genymotion and downloaded the Galaxy Nexus-4.3-API 18-720x1280 and some others (all with API 18).
Then I tried to run it but after a while appered a message saying: "player.exe stopped working". I've been a lot of time trying to make it work but I really don´t know how to fix it...
Here I leave a link to my logs:
genymotion.log-> http://www.javieravello.com/genymotion/
genymotion-player.log-> http://www.javieravello.com/genymotion-player/
Thanks!!

I solved it!! As it says in their FAQ:
When you start a virtual device, you got an error about OpenGL initialization.
This is probably due to an outdated video driver, or a very old video chipset.
Try to update your graphic card driver using the latest version provided by your manufacturer (available on their website).

Firstly you have to know your video cards name and version.
In Windows you can learn by this way
Control Panel -> Display -> Change display settings -> Advanced settings
after that you search google for updated driver and install it.
I fix this problem by this way.
My video card is Intel HD grapshic 3000 and I download this
driver and fix my problem. I hope you will solve this problem.
