My AVD in android studio is not booting or opening it just keep on loading it takes forever and I tried a lot of things but nothing seems to be working.
I am using Windows 10, 4GB Ram, and am using the latest version of android studio.
may be the ram of your virtual device is higher and makes your PC busy, so you can decrease the ram of your virtual device or download other virtual devices which doesn't take more ram .
Another option is to use GenyMotion , it is a virtual machine provider software that you can integrate with android studio easily, it's very fast , it's as just like an actual device , you can download it from here

I am new to android studio, and I do not have an android phone, so the first thing I actually tried to do is to try out the emulator before I get any further into android studio, but I am facing alot of problems.
When I press on the RUN button, I do find a "Nexus 5X API 27 X86" by default, when I run it, well here comes the problems. Sometimes it runs and opens properly, but without being able to find my app on the device, sometimes the app opens automatically. The device is always so slow, most of the times when I try to open an app, I get a msg "APP(google most of the time) has stopped working" or "Android is starting.." out of nowhere, and that same msg sometimes pops out automatically when I first run the emulator. Sometimes I get "Application Installation Failed" error, found some solutions saying to trun off instant run, I turned it off and I still get the error sometimes.
Generally, it is just impossible to start coding with such device, I had an android phone before and it was much easier.
As far as I know, my laptop should easily support both the android studio and the emulator.
One more thing, whenever I try to set up a new device on kitkat or something, the device doesnt come alive, just a stuck black screen with a logo in the middle.
My laptop:
Intel Core i7-5500U 2.4GHz
4gb RAM + 8gb RAM
Nvidia GeForce 920m - 2gb
64bit
And yeah, HAXM is installed.
Android Studio 3.0.1
Any assistance would be appreciated.
You can try genymotion if you feel android emulator is slow. https://www.genymotion.com/
you can find the difference between the android emulator and genymotion.
android genymotion vs emulator
Emulator's now is much faster and better then genymotion,just create your own device going to avd manager and then try to run it,one more thing , did you turn on intel virtualization in bios ?
My sincere thanks for your reading this.
I have just installed Android Studio and am attempting to run the default Hello World! script that is present when you create a new project.
Every time I try to run the the program in an Android Emulator my Emulator crashes and I get the error "Android Emulator Closed Unexpectedly" Every. Single. Time.
I have the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) installed as suggested:
I try to run a Nexus 4 emulator with 512 mb of Ram and it never works:
When I run this I get:
During this, my system physical memory peaks at 80% but never goes to 100 (which I would expect if it were crashing).
I have searched similar questions including
Android emulator crashing on Windows 7 64 Bit Android 4.0 emulator always has a crashing Launcher? Android studio emulator fails to start with memory limit related error message and they say to lower the memory size (which is what I am trying to do). Unfortunately this isn't working
Any idea how I can solve this issue?
My computer specs are as follows:
64 Bit Windows
6gb Ram
Intel Core i3
I downloaded and installed all correct versions as instructed here: https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html
In my case, this issue took the whole weekend to solve.
All options I tried, until:
Android Development Studio prompted me to update the Android Emulator Version to 25.3.1 (no idea what it was on before as I didn't check this before). This was a download of ~170mb.
Once I downloaded and installed the update, the emulator now seems to run OK on low memory settings - settings in keeping with the answer to this question here: Android emulator generates a very annoying error
I am now running with settings:
RAM memory to 5012
Virtual heap 32
Internal storage 200 mb
External storage 64 mb
So basically, it was a complete fluke that this worked.
To anyone that gets this error after rooting the android image, (if using snapshots). You need to start the virtual device with the -writable-system parameter like when you rooted the device, excerpt from docs.
Snapshots
...Starting a virtual device by loading a snapshot is much like waking a physical from a sleep state, as opposed to booting it from a powered-off state.
I was also having the same problem, Every time I was starting Emulator, it was closing unexpectedly. then I tried to change the Emulator Performance in settings of AVD Managers; In Software it's not working but in Hardware it was showing blank black screen.
Then I realized, there might be some issue with Graphics Card(mine NVIDIA GeForce 940MX), It was showing this error
After Updating/Restarting the problem was not resolving, then I Disabled then Enabled the Graphics Card Driver in the Device Manager and It worked!!😊
LONG STORY SHORT: Check, the problem might be due to your Graphics Card!😐
in my case, i attempted using gennymotion [ you may install it asking google genymotion . com] this could serve as alternative.
if gennymotion after installation returns this error message "the version of openGl supported by your graphics card is too old:Genymotion requires at least openGl 2.0 support. "
then know our challenge is arising from not having required graphics driver
either you checkout this link [https://buffered.com/support/solve-opengl-error/] on how to resolve it in steps.
or you download the graphics drivers using the links below
Here are the links to the 4 most prominent graphics card manufacturers in the world:
Intel: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
restart your systems after installation of the appropriate graphics driver and continue your project .
I am facing new issue after updating the Android SDK.
I am clicking on the Run in the Android Studio.
1) It opens emulator but during loading the emulator is getting crashing..
Crash Log along with image is attaching here..
Did you try to address the warning message? I suppose you don't have enough RAM left after allocating ~3GB to the virtual device . Especially if you are using a Mac with less than 8GB RAM that's an overkill (I haven't tried if it's at all possible to allocate more than 2GB even if you had enough RAM). Try to reduce the emulator RAM to 2GB and see if that fixes the problem.
This existing stackoverflow question link should help
avd device setup choose emulator device with least resolution, it uses less space on disk
Tip: How to make Android Emulators fast?
I would suggest having an alternative emulator always..
you can't depend on one, get Genymotion emulator
install genymotion plugin for Andriod Studio/eclipse from plugins
You also need genymotion installed on your system, download genymotion
I am using 'android studio' for first time . Trying to run emulator but its take hours , doesn't show android mobile. Only its showing 'Android' in large text.
I read many blog and article , including
How to fix: "HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode"
But still don't have solutions.
Any help please.
Thanks
The HAXM memory limit has to cover more than the memory assigned to you virtual device.
According to the log above, the amount of memory assigned to the device ("AVD RAM size", set to 1536MB) exceeds the memory limit of HAXM ("Max RAM size", currently set to 512MB). You have to adjust that: by running the HAXM installer, you can set the "Max RAM size" limit to 2048MB (or more should your physical machine be able to handle that) instead of the 512MB currently handled.
-> HAXM installer documentation: for Windows - for MacOS X
If your physical machine cannot afford assigning 2048MB or more to HAXM, assign as much as you reasonably can to HAXM (mine is 1024MB), and assign less memory to your virtual device. Be careful though, on my side I couldn't have a API 23 emulator running well with less than 768MB assigned (and 64MB for the heap).
-> To change the memory settings of your virtual device, you have to go to the "Android Virtual Device (AVD) Manager", and then to edit your device. I highlighted this in the picture below.
I'm using Eclipse, but the process should be similar under Android Studio.
If you wish to work with Android Studio built in AVD then consider installing Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM). To find it, open Tools>Android>SDK Manager, then scroll down on the screen to Extras. You will see it as a last option. This would speed up things for better.
Much better solution will be to use genymotion. You can install it for free and it's way faster.

So I just bought myself a new machine and the emulator keeps on crashing or working really really weird while crashing. I had a laptop that ran the same emulator above fine and that laptop it nothing in compare to my new pc in terms of hardware,so I dont quite get it. I tried running it with different RAM / SD CARD / INTERNAL STORAGE settings,but none seem to work out.
Im on Windows 7 Ultimate running on 65bit.
Here is my last settings,

And here is how my emulator actually looks like when running it

Uninstall and Install it again
Check if HAXM (driver and option in AVD) is enabled but the best solution (for me) is Genymotion.
https://www.genymotion.com/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#!/
Genymotion virtual devices are more faster than AVD, they use VirtualBox + Android x86 Image, performance are so good.
With this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952 you have full support for native library and you can install playstore etc.
