So I am quite new to Android development but I have Visual Studio 2017 installed and am trying to compile and run the default "Hello World" app just to make sure all of the mechanisms are properly in place for my compiler.
Whenever compiling, the emulated device shows up for a second then goes away. Am I missing something?
Here are the settings for my emulated phone:
I did discover that it does work when switching the CPU to ARM instead of x86 but then I get slower performance. Any ideas why?
It turns out that my HAXM version was not up to date. Per Code-Apprentice's advice I tried to launch the loaded devices using command line:
How do I launch the Android emulator from the command line?
This led me to see that there was an error with my HAXM version as it displayed the following error:
Incompatible HAX module version 3, requires minimum version 4. No accelerator found.
In order to update my HAXM I did the following:
I deleted the folder C:\Windows\System32\DRVSTORE\intelhaxm_
I deleted the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\intel
From the SDK manager I went to Tools > Extras > Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) and installed it.
From there I went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and launched intelhaxm-android.exe and selected uninstall. After uninstalled I launched intelhaxm-android.exe again and installed.
After the above, my x86 emulated device will now launch

All AVD images work on my machine except for Android 9.+ (Google Play) & Android 9.+ (Google APIs) (the Android Studio emulator for Android Q beta).
I just downloaded the most recent images. From android-Q/google_apis_playstore/x86/build.prop:
ro.system.build.version.incremental=5506116
ro.system.build.version.release=10
ro.system.build.version.sdk=28
I am using Android Emulator version 29.0.11.
However, when I start these up, I see the device frame with a black screen. I get no error message, just nothing. It stays like this indefinitely.
Is there any way to debug this or is this a common issue?
Update: on another device (same image), I got the following screen instead of a black screen, however, there is still nothing I can do:
You need to configure correctly the Hardware Acceleration for your Emulator. Please, follow these steps:
1) Install the Intel HAXM driver if you are on Windows and have Intel, follow these steps:
Open the SDK Manager.
Click the SDK Update Sites tab and then select Intel HAXM.
Click OK.
After the download finishes, run the installer. Typically, you can find the installer in the following location: sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm-android.exe
Use the wizard to complete the installation.
After installing Intel HAXM, confirm that the virtualization driver is operating correctly by entering the following command in a Command Prompt window:
sc query intelhaxm
You should see a status message that includes the following information:
SERVICE_NAME: intelhaxm
...
STATE : 4 RUNNING
...
For Linux, check this link
For Mac, check this link
2) Open AVD Manager on Android Studio:
Edit the Virtual Device where you set target Android Q
Click Show Advanced Settings.
Set Graphics to Automatic or Hardware.
In my case all other emulators started, except Q. I have all needed SDK and AVDs.
But every time emulator didn't start without any error.
I saw Emulator in Android Studio doesn't start and found a way to understand a reason. I started from avd path:
D:\Android\emulator\emulator.exe -avd Pixel_2_API_29 -netspeed full -netdelay none
and got an error: PANIC: Broken AVD system path. Check your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT value [D:\Android]!. In PANIC: Broken AVD system path. Check your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT value I found that we should read config.ini inside 'Pixel_2_API_29.avd' folder and detect the line
image.sysdir.1=system-images\android-29\google_apis_playstore\x86\
I understood that I missed android-29 image in SDK path!
I knew that moved SDK and AVD folders from C:... to D:\Android, but SDK was kept in two folders.
And I forgot to change one system variable (ANDROID_HOME):
So I changed it to D:\Android and restarted the PC.
After restarting I deleted old SDK folder (in 'AppData\Local\Android'). Then I started again:
D:\Android\emulator\emulator.exe -avd Pixel_2_API_29 -netspeed full -netdelay none
Android 11 (R) emulator was not working for my case. I fixed it with the following steps.
Step 1:
Go to SDK manager -> SDK Platforms and install your required API level ( Like Android 11.0, Android 10.0, etc. For my case Android 11.0 was not installed that's why it was not working )
Step 2: Go to SDK manager -> SDK Tools and install Intel Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installed) if not yet installed. If you are a windows user then make sure that windows firewall is deactivated for a while otherwise it will not be installed and generate an error.
Step 3: Wipe data and Cold boot the device from ADV manager.
If the above steps are not worked then Invalidate caches and Restart your android studio as well as the PC.
I fixed it by reinstalling Android Studio entirely.
Actually, I just wanted to reinstall the Android SDK, however, you seem to need to install a stable version of Android Studio for that. After that, I set everything up the same way again and ran the beta version and now it works.
Had the same problem on macOS. Found out that I didn't have enough space on disk to create 'userdata partition'. So check that.
where is problem?
emulator: incompatible HAX module version 3 requirs minimum version 4
emulator: no accelarator found
emulator: failed to intialize HAX: invalid argument
Open SDK Manager and update HAXM.
Tools > SDK Manager > SDK Tools > Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)
First of all go to Tools>SDK Manager>SDK Tools.
Then you can see the list of SDK developer tools available.
The tools which were already installed are checked and others are unchecked. Moreover, you can see the status as 'Not installed' or 'Installed'.
Most probably, 'Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)' is checked in your system. First uncheck it and then click on Apply button. Then program will redirect you for uninstallation of the accelerator.
After you get the message as Uninstallation successful, tick the checkbox again and click Apply button which will trigger the installation again.
After installation Go to Tools>AVD Manager and run whatever Virtual device you want.
I had faced the same error in the past while I was running Android Studio on my windows and after that I did research on the issue and I realized that I must start the HAXM installer manually so that I can use it:
I went to my Android SDK folder in my case it was C:\Users[user's name]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\ and there I found that intelhaxm-android.exe file, I clicked on the file and allowed it to finish
The installation process after that I launched my avd device again then it ran properly for me.
Hope this solution will help you in resolving your issues.
In my case after updating HAXM installer through SDK manager,
I installed "intelhaxm-android.exe" (In windows OS) from path:
\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
try this one:
Turn on "virtualisation" option in the BIOS setup while your PC/laptop boots up .
If its already switched on,
re-install haxm.exe and while installing, increase the size allotted to it. At least 2 GB.
now, it should run properly.
I too had the same issue. As the error message states, the installed HAX module is older version and cannot be compatible now. Go to Tools--> SDK Manager--> Click on SDK Tools tab and you can see the 'Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)' will be having an update.
Just check the check box and click on Apply and it will install the newer version. That's it.
Tip: Updating the remaining items is a best way to protect yourself from the future error.
For Windows and VIsual Studio:
It turns out that installing and uninstalling HAXM from the Android SDK menu does not mean installing or uninstalling in reality.
Everything worked for me before, but I did not return to this for a long time. So, I had HAXM installed, but the old version. For some reason, Visual Studio could neither update nor uninstall it. When installing a new version, the old one was not replaced and was considered a priority, so installing the new version without removing the old one did not help.
So, how I fixed the error:
"Removed" HAXM via Android SDK menu.
Checked Device manager for HAXM entry (I did not delete anything here because I did not find it)
Removed old HAXM folder from C:\Windows\System32\DRVSTORE\intelhaxm_*
Launched the broken old HAXM installer to remove HAXM registry keys. Before manual intervention, he did not want to work, citing the absence of some kind of .msi file.
Rebooted PC
I made sure that the old HAXM was removed from the system with the command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\emulator> .\emulator-check.exe accel
"Installed" HAXM via Android SDK menu. (At this step, nothing was installed - the command from the previous step still reported that there was no HAXM.)
Installed HAXM from Intel official repository: https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases
With command from step 6, I made sure that HAXM was installed correctly (for example, the output on my PC is shown):
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\emulator> .\emulator-check.exe accel
accel:
0
HAXM version 7.7.0 (4) is installed and usable.
accel
After that, emulator should work. Perhaps Android Device Manager will glitch showing that the device emulator is already running (but I did not find qemu* and emulator processes). Probably, this can be solved more accurately, but I just deleted the existing device and created it again.
According to my AS SDK manager, Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer) version 6.0.1 is installed.
However, if I attempt to 'run' my app, then choose an 'available emulator' (eg, nexus one api 23), I get the error: intel haxm is required to run this avd.
A couple of days ago I was not having this problem (I was able to use an emulator).
Also, according to my System Settings/Android SDK, I have Android 6.0, API Level 23.
I am using Win XP, with AS2.0.
You have to install it.
Go to your sdk manager and then select it to install it (look at the bottom). Then you have to go to the folder in which the android studio is installed then look for extras/intel and then install it.
There can be a couple of problems when this happens. You have to run your BIOS to activate virtualization technology (look how to go to the BIOS), and deactivate your antivirus while its installing. (Also you should deactivate the option about virtualization technology).
When the HAXM its done, open your android studio and try to run your application, it's gonna work this time!
(I had the same problem few days ago).
I ever see Avast! doing wrong with Intel HAXM (did you just installed it ?) on a friend's laptop.
What i would suggest is simply to unistall/reinstall it in "Settings/System Setting/Android SDK".
Personnally at the HAXM "installation" from AndroidStudio it was downloaded only. I managed by going to "C:\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager" (or the corresponding path onto your computer) in order to run the installer manually.
The reason is because you have installed Avast. You have to uncheck this option: Enable hardware -assisted virtualization
Sorry for this title but I'm just so mad because not any of the emulators seem to be working for me. Here are the reasons:
Built-in Android Emulator - too slow, it won't even deploy the application, stuck at Starting emulator ..., mostly gets the error Emulator cannot be started with VS (unknown provider)
Genymotion - i thought this is my hope but the virtualbox for some reason gives me Blue Screen of Death hence not being able to use this really good, best recommended emulator
BSOD Technical Information: STOP: 0x0000003B (0x00000000c0000005, 0xFFFFF880010C9710, 0xFFFFF8800DFB8690, 0000000000000000)
XAP or Xamarin Android Player - uses VirtualBox as well, won't let me run the emulator, a dialog box appears saying Failed to start the virtual machine. This indicates you have just installed virtualbox and need to reboot your computer. Rebooted/restarted the computer a thousand times, same error.
This is too much pain for me as I'm still a beginner in Android Development but seems like it hates me so much.

Btw, I'm working my Android app in Xamarin Visual Studio 2015.
Let me know if I missed any specific details.
Install Intel hardware accelerator manager (HAXM).
It can be downloaded using the android sdk manager. Once downloaded you have to run the installer manually. The installer is located in you android sdk folder, in /extra/Intel subfolder.
After it is installed, any android simulator using an x86 image will run full speed.
Also make sure HyperV is deactivated, and that virtualization is enable in the machine's bios.
Well, first it will be better to check out if all Android SDK packages were properly installed. To do that locate on your computer a software called "Android SDK Manager" and run it. It will shows the status of several different packages.
Check if you already have installed:
1) Android SDK Tools 24.4.1 and 24
2) Android N (API 21)
3) Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)
If you don't have installed, then do it selecting them and clicking on "install packages" button.
Restart Visual Studio and try to run a simple/demo app.
This question already has answers here:
Android Studio on a hardware that does not support virtualization technology
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am new to android development. I have downloaded android studio, followed all the instructions. I could create a sample application and run it successfully.
However the problem started when I try another application or relaunch the same application, it fails to run with the errors:
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!
When I checked in the SDK manager, Intel x86 emulator is already installed.
Then I tried starting the AVD manually, which failed with the same error
Then I went to SDK path, and try installing "intelhaxm-android.exe" It threw error "This computer does not support Intel Virtualization..." error.
EDIT 1:
My system configuration:
Dell Inspiron 5110 4core I5 2nd gen processor with 8 GB RAM
Windows 8.1 ultimate
I could locate Hyper-V manager showing up the system and Hyper-V is not running on this box
So, I believe my system is possibly ready for virtualization. If so, why I am unable to run the Intelhaxm-android.exe? Is there a setting or two I am missing. Or does my system missing any hardware to enable haxm?
Please install Intel Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer)
closes the application from emulator and relaunch or try this Error in launching AVD with AMD processor and this Update to Android SDK Tools 23.0.5 and avd doesn't start ;)
The SDK Manager will download the installer to the "extras" directory, under the main SDK directory. Even though the SDK manager says "Installed" it actually means that the Intel HAXM executable was downloaded. You will still need to run the installer from the "extras" directory to finish installation.
Extract the installer inside the "extras" directory and follow the installation instructions for your platform."
