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 ?

Well I created a new AVD from AVD manager that is "Nexus 5x API 25". When I Launch the AVD in emulators it gets launched and stay for while (30 Seconds) and Shutdown Automatically.
I tried editing the Ram Size in Config.ini of AVD, but still the same problem.
My computer Configurations are:
Intel Core i3
Ram Size: 4 GB
HDD: 500 GB
Solution.1
By setting the Graphics option on the Android Virtual Device to Software instead of Automatic or Hardware. Once you did that the emulator device started up great and everything worked.
Or
Go to Menu->Tools->Android and uncheck the option Enable ADB Integration Run the application. Now the emulator will be launched, but app will not run. Once the emulator is fully launched, check the Enable ADB Integration option and re-run the app. Now the app will be launched in the already running emulator.
My Android emulator was shutting down almost as soon as Android Studio started it.
I went to the Android Virtual Device Manager and under "Actions" for the misbehaving virtual device, I selected "Cold Boot Now". This seemed to resolve my problem.
I am using Android Studio 3.1.4.
I'm in the same boat with a late 2019 version of Android Studio (v3.5.2), and I've been using it a couple of years, so it seems like a new problem to me. I am able to resolve it by either 'wipe data' (undesirable, often) or 'cold boot' (from tools->avd manager) and then running the app. However, this is not a permanent solution, because it always comes back. I usually wind up doing the cold boot thing once, then be careful not to close the emulator while I am debugging so it is good until next session.
I will note i noticed Android Studio was HIGH on memory usage (which is more difficult to notice in SSD times, because you don't "hear" the hard drive thrashing from swapping memory.) Android studio itself noticed the abnormally high memory usage and reported this to Google (presumably). I wonder if low physical memory is/was the issue.
Update: I just had a BIOS update for my notebook, and afterwards, I do not seem to have the same problem. It is not clear if there was a BIOS problem (virtualization, which emulator uses, is a BIOS option) or if it was just the reboot which temporarily cleared up memory (my original guess).
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
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.

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.
Because the emulator was really slow I installed the intel x86 emulator. I changed the settings in my emulator (ARM to intel atom). Now when I run a project it takes me to the emulator selection screen and when I select it, the project starts running, but the emulator doesn't pop up.
I tried switching the cpu back to ARM, but it still doesn't work.
When I close Android studio it asks me if I want to disconnect from the project so I'm sure it is running.
I came across a few posts that said to give the device 768 ram, but that didn't work.
Anyone knows a solution?
I was facing the exact same issue, but for me reducing the device RAM to 768 did fix it. Therefore I'd suggest continuing to decrease the RAM values and trying to launch it.
How about to use Rock speed Emulator - Genymotion?
I know it sometimes take time to launch emulator and launch app in emulator too. But it depends on your configuration of your PC and settings you have done in Eclipse or Android Studio.
For example: You may have kept "Build Automatically" ON and it sometimes slow down running time.
My current rep is not high enough yet to comment on another answer, so I am adding a new "answer" to +1 Paresh Mayani's answer to use Genymotion. I only recently discovered it and found it to be much much faster than the emulator. Instead of emulation it runs an Android rom in a VM using VirtualBox. I've found that it runs full speed on my machine and is just as fast in debug mode as normal mode, which is impressive since even my Nexus 5 struggles when connected to a debugger.
In my case also x86 was creating problem, I installed Android 5.0.1 armeabi-v7a and have set 768MB as RAM size and it worked.
Try to check and run the emulator ie. store a snapshot for faster startup...
I have tried that by checking the button and works fine.
If you're using an AMD machine try using the "ARM EABI v7 system image". For an intel chip use the "APIs Intelx86 Atom system image". Also, try a different tablet from the Android Studio settings e.g(Nexus 6), as the API level might not be supported from in the Nexus5 VM. You will also have a little wait time for the android emulator, mine takes about 7mins
My Android emulator beachballs on startup almost every time I try to use it. I'm currently using Android Studio 0.2.0 build 130.737825 on OSX 10.8.4. It seems like it will launch into Android once or twice, then if I close and reopen, it hangs on the black screen before the Android splash screen. At this very moment, it's been hung for about 15 minutes. I don't see anything useful happening in Console. And Android Studio is fine. It's just the emulator that hangs.
The android emulator is pretty much unusably slow. I recommend using genymotion instead of the emulator. Genymotion runs the android device as a virtual machine, so it's basically like having a real device running. And it's super fast.
Android's emulator is slower than Apple's simulator. you can refer to here to know why. But you can actually enhance the virtual device(x86 not ARM) performance, if you install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator(HAXM) which can be found in Android SDK Manager.
