For some reason ever since I updated Android Studio to version 4.1, whenever I try to run the emulator I get this error:
Error while waiting for device: The emulator process for AVD Pixel_2_API_29 was killed.
I have tried reinstalling android studio, cold booting the device and literally everything I could think of.
newbie here but wanted to learn more about developing apps, so downloaded Android Studio to do an intro lesson and was frustrated by the same issue -emulator was "killed" before opening. Well, I think I saw a vague suggestion somewhere to uninstall Emulator using SDK Manager (SDK Manager - System Settings - Android SDK - SDK Tools), then reinstalling from same place (SDK Manager). Voila! It worked for me. The emulator works and I see my virtual device. As a newbie you can imagine how cryptic this all was for me, but it's one way to learn, I guess!

I am new to Xamarin and ran into immediate trouble while doing a basic Hello World example. When I click Debug, the Android emulator starts but never finishes even after 20 minutes. The emulator just sits on a black screen. I never see the Android boot sequence. I can build the solution with no errors. I can also open the emulator by itself through AVD without any errors. My laptop is VS 2017 Community, Win10 Fall Creator, i5-6200, 8GB RAM, GeForce 940M, and 50GB free on SSD. I have tried:
Reinstalling VS
Reinstalling Java SDK and Android
Updating Android SDK packages
Changing registry location of SDK
Turning off Fast Deploy
Creating new AVD's
Try updating your SDK's its under Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager.
This happens to me before, i did reinstall only to find out it was the emulator issue. to avoid yourself in reinstalling the visual studio and save you time... you can try it on your actual android device. then let me know how it goes. hope it helps.
After wasting many hours on this, I finally can across the answer. You can't use the standard AVD and SDK managers. Google removed support for them after SDK Tools version 26.0.1. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/get-started/installation/android-emulator/
If you need to make an Oreo 8.0 or 8.1 emulator, install Xamarin Android SDK Manager. Caution, this will prevent you from using the built-in AVD and SDK managers. From then on, you will use this new SDK manager and the command line to create and launch AVD's.
For a while I was able to run my app in the android emulator that was installed with Android Studio.
I have since updated SDKs and installed some x86 emulators with SDK manager and now none of the emulators will run properly no matter what I do..
They won't run if I select the run button in android Studio and they won't run if I select the run button I AVD manager.
If I view windows task manager I can see the emulator starting up but they just crash before the emulator window appears.
So what do I do here? Uninstall bloody Android Studio and start over???? Because nothing else that I have googled on this problem works.
All the solutions others have proposed appear to be very vague and a result of random trial and error rather than inside knowledge.
I have tried deleting my emulators and creating new ones.
I have tried wiping data in AVD manager.
I have tried changing the SDK versions in the emulators.
I have tried switching between ARM and X86 system images.
I have tried switching between 'Software GLES' and 'Automatic'
None of them fixes the problem.
The emulators start up in task manager but crash before anything becomes visible while android studio waits in vane for the device to start up.
Ok so my Visual Studio Android emulators stopped working this morning. First I was was receiving a networking error and so I tried to delete and re-create them, but the creation keeps getting stuck on "Copy .vhd files and creating virtual machine". The last time I tried it I let it sit on that step for over half an hour, and that was after trying first this Visual studio (2015) emulator for android not working - XDE.exe - Exit Code 3 then this Visual studio android emulator will not start fully
Oh and I completely uninstalled and re-installed Visual Studio Emulator for Android.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I finally got a VM to download and execute after reinstalling Hyper-V (un-check Hyper-V from Windows Features, reboot, re-check it, reboot). I've gone through many of the referenced cleanup steps many times prior to trying that, though I did perform a repair of the Visual Studio Emulator for Android and deleted all of the device profiles just before reinstalling Hyper-V.
I'm using android studio about 2 weeks and everything is going right until I try to create a new app and the android studio ask me for updates to API level 22 and I did it. After this update my emulator doesn't load my app anymore, the emulator opens but the app doesn't show up and even appears at emulator.
Log:
Device Nexus_5_API_21_x86 [emulator-5554] is online, waiting for processes to start up..
I try to uninstall and install again the android studio but even reinstalling with API level 21 keep not working.
Even the default Hello World application doesn't load and not show up at my emulator.
I had the same issue, and was able to work around it by manually starting the emulator first, then running the app and choosing the running emulator
I had this same issue with my first app on android studio 2.1.2. I just tried to run it and see on emulator screen but app didn't show up there.
Remember to check the messages panel it saying something wrong with my java version. I had installed JDK 7. I installed JDK 8 and that fixed the problem.
I am trying to run the Android emulator on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine. I have installed the Android SDK, JDK, Eclipse, and the Android plugins for Eclipse. From the SDK Manager, I have installed the Android SDK Tools, as well as all of the files for Android 4.1 (API 16).
From Eclipse, when I want to open the emulator I select the AVD Manager and click on a device that I have created. The AVD Manager says that the virtual device is a valid device. When I launch the machine, a box pops up that says "Starting Android Emulator," and there is a loading bar right below it. The bar will get to about 95%, and then the box will disappear and nothing will happen. There will be no errors and no messages in the console output box in Eclipse. I get similar behavior when I try to launch the emulator by running an app from Eclipse.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the SDK to a new directory, as well as downloading a different version of Eclipse (I am currently using Eclipse Java EE, earlier I was using Eclipse Classic 4.2). I also tried downloading the API 15 platform and using that as a virtual device, and I still have the same issues.
I have checked my task manager, and the only new process that is ever created is adb.exe, and this only happens when I try to run my app, but not when I start the emulator on its own.
Any idea what might be causing this, or what methods I might use to troubleshoot this that will actually give me some kind of error message, rather than just disappearing and not doing anything? Thanks.
Edit: When I try to run the emulator from the AVD Manager directly, I get the same behavior as when running through Eclipse (loading box pops up, then disappears, then nothing).
Try to use BlueStacks emulator instead standart. It work much more faster and reliably. You can download it from http://bluestacks.com. After installing reboot the system. I think all be fine.
I had the same problem. Enabling Host GPU emulation worked for me.
