I have 8GB RAM and there are a lot of installed programs on my hard drive. I have only 2GB remaining on my C: drive.
Everything was running fine until I installed "Bluestack", now I get the following error:
ERROR: Not enough disk space to run AVD 'Nexus_5X_API_28'. Exiting..
Seems like a good time to sit down and do some spring cleaning on your hard drive.
Also if you need to increase the RAM of your Android Studio emulator (not that that will necessarily help in this particular situation) try this:
Go to Tools->Android->AVD Manager, there's something a like pencil to edit your AVD click on that, then in the pop-up window click Show Advanced Settings and there you can change the RAM size.
You have installed bluestack which reduces your storage. AVD needs free space for running. Because it has to store a lot of things in the time of testing/running app on it. Without available storage how could it save data? you have to delete some files from your hard drive for making storage for the emulator

I get the following error message when trying to run the emulator from Android Studio:
Emulator: emulator: ERROR: Not enough disk space to run AVD 'Nexus_6_API_28'. Exiting...
I tried to increase the size of RAM space but it didn't help.
Software: Debian, Android studio virtual device.

The issue is not with the amount on your hard drive but the setting requesting how much storage space is required by the emulator.
In Android Studio, follow these steps to reduce the hard drive space requested by the emulator:
Click Tools -> AVD Manager
Click the edit icon for the emulator
Click the Show Advanced Settings
Under Memory and Storage, reduce the Internal Storage, specify something like 2048MB for an emulator that comes with Google Play store or less for emulators without the Google Play Store.
Try to run again and see if it works.
If the above doesn't work, try wiping out the user data from the emulator. You can wipe the user data from the actions sections on the AVD Manager screen.
It's not about RAM, if you are beginner just use the recomended amount of RAM when creating new AVD. In order to solve your particular problem, Go to the disc where is stored your AVD files, mine is in this Path:
E:\avd.android\avd\Nexus_5X_API_27_1.avd
and free up some space on that hard drive. Do not delete anything from avd folder ! If you do not know on which hard drive is stored your AVD files, go to Tools->AVD Manager
Choose your emulator and in it's drop-down list press the Show on Disc button. It will take you to that hard drive, then just free up some space. Not sure about minimum space, I have 20Gb and it works perfectly, you can start from minimum 5Gb. Also in that drop-down list try to Wipe the Data first and run the app, before trying to do all mentioned above.
Just follow below steps
1 Increases the size of Internal Storage in AVD
2 Free the C drive in your computer at lease 5-10 GB.
The Emulator will run automatically. Hope it helps
I solved the same problem by delete some virtual device from AVD and it's work well
A more stable and reliable solution is to change your AVD path to another hard drive because the default AVD path is always on main drive, can be easily

Tutorial
Quick answer:
Delete your AVD and recreate a new one.
Deleting all the virtual devices from Avd manager, and installing required ones helped me. Although I followed all the above mentioned steps one by one. I advice you guys to try this out if nothing works.
Check the Event Log of your Android Studio. It might tell you the exact reason. In my case it said
Emulator: emulator: ERROR: Not enough space to create userdata
partition. Available: 5753.562500 MB at
/home/xxxxxxx/.android/avd/Pixel_3_API_30.avd, need 7372.800000 MB.
So I freed up some space, and it worked.
just free some space in the hard disk for the emultor internal storage.
Simply wiping data of emulator is working.
The problem I am having is that when I try to run my application onto my android emulator I get the error of: There is not enough storage space on the device to store package:/data/local/tmp/Mono.Android.DebugRuntime-debug.apk. Free up some space and try again.
The emulator runs fine, its when I try and deploy the app that it gives me the message. I know that it has something to do with space on the enumlator. I have tried to see what I could find on here but none of it seems to work in this case. I have looked up some of the same questions on here but so far they have not been effective. I have tried to uninstall apps, clear data, change the size of the sd card and ram, also I have tried to make the java heap bigger. At this point I do not know where to go from here.
I am pretty much asking what can I do from here to try and fix this issue? I will provide pictures of the setting and the exact output messages since there where no error messages technically. I am using visual studio enterprise 2017 and using Xamarin Forms.
Pictures here:
This is a picture of the settings for the emulator
This is the second picture of the settings for the emulator
This is the picture of the Output window where I get the message
I had a similar issue (not Xamarin forms, just Xamarin app in general)
After resetting the device in Android Device Manger I set the DataPartition via the GUI to 2GB. Restarted the device but the dataPartition was still 200mb. (seen in the hardware-qemu.ini).
I noticed the Device Manager wrote to the config.ini the line
disk.dataPartition.size=2 GB
So what I found worked for me was.
Factory Reset the device
Manually edit the config.ini to read 2000m not (not 2 G)
disk.dataPartition.size=2000m
Restart the device
Here is a screen shot of my emulator on a Mac.
Stupid question your pc does have enough ram and local storage right ??
part1:
part2:
What also helped was factory reset (too many test apps installed)
So, like a lot of people starting Android development with Eclipse, even with a fast machine, I notice that the emulator runs frustratingly slow.
I search SO for any tips to make it run faster and I run across this question, whose top answer suggests a couple of things, including making the AVD have more RAM. They suggest 1024MB:
Sounds good. But when I try to launch it, I get this:
Failed to allocate memory: 8
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
If I set it to 512MB (up from the default 256MB) it launches fine.
But why, on a Windows 7 x64 machine with 12GB of physical RAM can I not allocate 1024MB to an AVD? Is it an Eclipse limitation? Emulator limitation? Java limitation? I presume the person in that other question got it working but I've yet to figure out how and most of the responses I see elsewhere say "yeah dial it down to 512MB" which is not the answer I'm looking for.
From Galaxy s3 emulator:
There is a common problem when setting up the AVD that you have to manually edit the config file to fix. File is located at C:\Documents and Settings\username\.android\avd\name_of_avd.avd\config.ini
Change the memory settings from
hw.ramSize=1024
to
hw.ramSize=1024MB
(Do not enable word wrap in notepad).
Save the file and reopen the avd.
This worked for me.
Weird, but this worked for me on Windows 7 x64 machine with 16GB of RAM. You do have to add MB at the end of "hw.ramSize" in config.ini.
I had the same problem like OP wrote. Also, if you need 2 gigabytes of RAM, write 2048MB and simulator will run from Eclipse.
I have the same problem occasionally, and I'm unable to tell you exactly why this problem occurs, but it seems that the AVD won't start if it has been allocated more then an X percentage of your available RAM at the time of starting.
If you lower the given amount by just 50mb, you'll often notice it will run just fine. Or, similarly, if you close a few programs to save some RAM, it will also boot up perfectly fine.
I know it's not ideal, but I suggest to just lower the allocated RAM in small amounts until it boots up. I wish I could give a better answer but I haven't been able to find a reason myself either.
Try starting the AVD without Eclipse to remove that Factor.
This can be done by navigating to your SDK-Path/tools and open Android(.bat?) and then select the AVD manager.
I would recommend opening a command shell, navigating to the path and then run
emulator -avd AVDNAME -scale 0.7 -no-boot-anim
You can also try starting it without the scale parameter or maybe even a lower number.
On Windows, emulating RAM greater than 768 may fail depending on the system load
Open C:\Users\your user.android\avd\yourAVD.avd\config.ini
change
hw.ramSize=1024
to
hw.ramSize=1024M
this worked for me :-)
hope it will help!
I'm using the Android emulator running API version 15 from the SDK tools and in the console I'm getting this error:
[Date - Emulator] ##KBD: Full queue, lose event
I can't click on anything obviously. I googled it and the only solution is to delete the emulator and recreate it. This works for a while but then I have the same problem again.
Does anyone know what causes this error and how to fix it?
You can try the following to clear the old data and applications (your emulator will return to its default settings and data)
Tools --> Android --> AVD Manager
Then select your Emulator
From Actions column hit the arrow and select Wipe Data
I was facing same problem, There is Nothing RAM problem.
Solution is here's
Go to Tools -> AVD Manager ->Find the emulator which you are having this error -> Right click on your emulator and click on COLD BOOT NOW.
i probably figured it out. try this:
While creating the android virtual device, you must have given its size in KIBs or upto 32 mibs as shown in one of the tutorials on web.
now delete the previous device and make a new device giving its size as 512 MIB. It solved my problem.
Hope it'll work for you also, just give it a try.
I have ran into the same problem and I realized that I had dedicated only 256 MB of RAM for the virtual device. It had simply run out of memory.
Here's the solution:
-Go to Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager
-Find the emulator you are having this error on.
-Click to the "edit" button next to it. (In 3.0, this appears as a green pencil)
-Click "Show advanced settings"
-Scroll down and assign some more RAM to the device, 1GB should cut it, 2GB is definitely enough if you are running a simple app. I would also recommend assigning 512 MB of heap.
-Hit finish. Exit the emulator and restart it.
You should be good now, I hope it's been helpful. Happy coding!
this is a bug in android emulators. i also had the same problem. use 64bit linux for development to minimize such issues.
** freezing problem is there on 64-bit linux machines also, but the frequency of such problems is highly reduced. also emulators behave notably faster.
Sorry, I don't know whether this will help you... I had many problems when I try to run the emulator in Apple Mac mini. Whenever I run the emulator, machine asked me to restart. When contact Apple support, they told me it's a problem with less Memory. Just check and see how the memory is utilized by the emulator.
This is a common issue if you not provide enough resources to your virtual device or your virtual device is stuck some how.
Any one of these solutions should work
if you don't have anything useful in your virtual device, you can wipe it. by simply going to
Tools > Android > AVD Manager
Then select your virtual device
Right click select Wipe Data
Each time you start a virtual device it maintain state and pre installed apps in its memory so a cold boot will also be a good option.
to cold boot simple follow first two steps from above and select Cold Boot Now.
Now you are good to go!
I'm beginner on Android applications. I followed the steps in tutorial and prepared development environment on Vista (Eclipse Helios + Android SDK 12 + JDK6).
I created a minimal AVD with 32mb SD card and 128mb ram, enable snapshot.
and set current AVD in run configurations of application as automatically.
Emulator is extremely slow and CPU usage 100% shared by eclipse and emulator,
memory consume is also in limit.
Do you have any suggestion to optimize it? It's my first step in development android app, and i don't want to be discouraged.
Thanks a lot,
Semanur
You can use Bluestacks App player or Youwave For Android.
Those emulators are very much faster than eclipse emulators. You will find that they are most likely runnning your app on a real phone.
Emulators use significant resources but with a medium computer it should run ok.
Try creating a new emulator instance with default settings, HVGA and no snapshot and no sd card.
Use android 2.2 for this test.
This one should run pretty smoothly on a medium computer.
Let us know the results.
As everyone else has stated, the emulator is terrible for testing. I'd suggest debugging on a device, even if that means only being able to test one API and screen size.
Launching from a snapshot is also a way of cutting the loading time and resource load on the CPU. I found it to still take a considerate amount of time still, but it is less than half of what it took before.
you can download and install genymotion virtual device,, it is 3x faster then normal AVD
