I have a problem when I tried to start my AVD in android studio. It was working fine but all of a sudden it just turns black. I have tried to restart my pc but it didnt help. Any solution? Or is there any AVD application that I can use because android studio's AVD is kinda slow.
This also happens to me from time to time. To fix this, open your AVD Manager. Then, click the arrow to the far right. Finally, click Cold Boot Now.
I will say it will be better if you use physical mobile devices and the step to use that is mentioned below:
Pre-requesting:
Android Studio
USB cable
Android Device
Steps:
Enable USB
debugging(Link)
Automatically get device driver install on the system.
Run your app using a connected device. check ou this link
Why I am suggesting to you because this will improve your productivity of coding.
If you want multiple device testing then only go through Virtual emulator such as BlueStack, GenyMotion, AndY which I used and prefer more due to of less memory uses.
You can try Genymotion instead. It is faster than android studio's AVD and easy to use. Also in some cases, you might have riot vanguard (riot games anti cheat system), and you need to uninstall it to use android studio's AVD.

Whenever I open the AVD Manager and launch any one of the virtual devices I created, the emulator starts and closes immediately. When I run the virtual device in AVD Manager for the first time I get an error message that QEMU has stopped working.
I have given the right path to the JDK. More over, I have tried to install Android Studio again and again, but still its not working. I am using Windows 7(32 bit, 2GB RAM, without graphic card).
Is there need of graphic card to run emulator? If not, what should I do the run the emulator?
In AVD manager open settings for your virtual device.
In the Emulated Performance section open the dropdown for Graphics.
Change it from Automatic to Software.
Hit the Finish button to save new setting and try starting the emulator again.
I finally found the solution here: https://www.bram.us/2017/05/12/fix-for-the-android-emulator-crashing-during-launch/
It seems to be an incompatibility with other software, such as Docker, Oracle Virtual Box and other products that use VCPU. In my case, it seems that VBox and/or DraftSight caused the issue. I don't get the error when I terminate those applications first.
After trying Vahid's answer, it stopped crashing. Unfortunately it was lagging badly. After installing the NVIDIA drivers for my card (I have a 1060), I was able to change the setting to Hardware again, and now it is much smoother.
In most cases the solution provided above by #Vahid would work but if for some reason you still want to use hardware for graphics. You can try upgrading graphics drivers and make sure to set your graphic profile aka GPU workload to Graphics instead of compute. This settings can be found in Nvidia control panel or AMD Radeon software settings, not sure if this would work for integrated graphics.
I have installed the latest Version of Android Studio. Now I like to set up an Emulator. I had used the SDK Manager to load the Intel Atom Image, and set up an AVD.
I think I have done this like in all other Examples but if I start the Emulator, all what I can se is an empty home screen without any other icons or setting. I thought the emulator would be like an real device, or quite close to it.
Maybe I think wrong?
But I had seen videos where the emulator is like an real phone.
What can i do to get my emulator to an pretty phone? :)
Thanks all.
Check if in your emulator parameters the "hardware buttons" are checked. However, sometimes android studio emulators are giving some errors. You can try download Genymotion emulators for android, if you don't lack ram it will work out pretty well for you.
i'm using titanium appcelerator for developping an opp on android but i think this question can be answered by any android developper and anyone else using the android emulator.
It's already too long to wait for the emilator to be ready and for me always the first execution which makes the emulator for the first time stops on the "waiting for the emulator to be ready" step and i have to restart the app again and if the new launched app will start a new emulator instance it will be worst.. So is there a way to force always using the already created emulator instance ?
you mean emulator?
If there is an emulator, it will not start new one .
Do not close it .
I would suggest that you install Genymotion to use for emulation. Titanium Studio will see this as a device, rather than an emulator. On the flip-side, I'm not sure if debugging works with it yet. You may need to look for mods to make to get this working.
After installing Genymotion you select some emulators from their available list. You'll start the Genymotion emulator yourself, rather than Titanium Studio starting it for you. Titanium Studio's list of devices will need to be refreshed or restart Titanium Studio. Run your project. Titanium Studio sees the device more like a physical device, so it won't keep opening a new one on you and speed up the process a bit.

There my be a more official way to fix the Android interaction, rather than my idea of side stepping it.
Simple :
Goto Terminal/command prompt
Type in adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555
Now the emulator will be seen as device to Titanium studio, enjoy!
I'm using IntelliJ Idea 13 to develop Android applications on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. But my virtual device never starts despite there is no error.. its screen always stays like this:
My Android target level is 4.4 (API 19). How can I solve this issue?
Edit: Here is my AVD details:
I Recommend you look at this post to a similar question.

they are using eclipse but you should be able to view the logcat, other posts say first load can be ridiculously long.
the spec of your PC may come into play as this post https://superuser.com/a/347298 explains the way the emulator converts to arm opcode: direct quote:
To use emulator more effectively, this is my experience:
Don't close emulator everytime you run your application.
Scale the emulator screen smaller.
Disable snapshot (Yes, it's useful but it takes time to close the emulator).
Specify a file path for SD card image file. I use only one SD card for many AVDs.
If you got any problems in adb, just reset adb, don't close emulator.
Open few programs in your operating sytem.
If you are using Windows, don't ever close emulator. Do it combined with Hibernate of Windows.
My AVD has started after I check "Use Host GPU" option from "Emulation Options".
I'm a newbie for Android development. I want to run a Hello World on the emulator in Eclipse as my starting point, but the magic words never show up. I just follow the tutorial, Launch the Android Virtual Device Manager, Create a New AVD and Click Run.
But Everything is fine if it runs on a real device. Is there any special setting on Mac?
Please help.
You have to wait a long time util it appears. I'd advise you to use USB debugging and a real device. It works much faster than the emulator. In addition you can use the app with the normal gestures and all the sensors like camera etc.. But as I said: it's much faster than the AVD.
Check Console tab in Eclipse for information about APK upload and installation progress.
Is there any special setting on Mac?
No there is not. Settings are pretty much the same on all platforms.
