I was working with Android Emulator in Visual Studio for Mac with Xamarin. It was quite fast and everything was working fine. But once I closed it before it completely loaded, and now it does not boot, staying frozen on the black screen with Android word on it.
Can somebody please tell me what could have changed when I closed it and where I can fix it? Thanks in advance.
Had the same problem once.
It turn out that the settings was lost.
Tap on your emulator in the top left console.
Then Manage google emulator
Choose ur emulator > Edit And return initial settings.
Hope that helps
If it does not work u can try to make new emulator.

My android emulator was working fine. Then the next day when I started king on my app the emulater showed a blank black screen. I tried to run another app I was working on same thing. Tried to create a new app and emulator same thing.
If the XML file is still showing you a view of what should be there I'd say its an issue with the emulator your using, try the nexus 5X and let me know how you get on.
Alternativly you can use your own phone by enabling developer mode turning on usb debuging and plug it in to your computer to run the app off of.
Would have put this as a comment but dont have enough cred :P hope it helps.
remove emulator from avd manager and make a new one
I'm developing an Android app with Android Studio and the emulator. In the last months, I notice that when I rotate the emulator to the app behaviour in landscape mode, the screen is splitted.
It's not a problem of my application, I tried with Gmail app and other and the problem persists.
I tried to change OpenGL config but nothing changes. I'm working on a Mac Book Pro with Big Sur. Any idea about to solve it?
Thank you in advance.
I did face the same issue:
Recreating/Resizing Emulator did not help.
To fix it, I just clicked the zoom button and everything is working as intended.
Zoom option:
After clicking zoom, it works:
Resizing the AVD worked for me, just drag the corners to make the AVD smaller or bigger. After resizing it the split screen should go back to normal. If the problem persists try making a new AVD.
I encounter really strange behavior with android emulator. First of all, I am using extended monitor for development. So i code on my laptop and check the app on emulator on second screen. For some reason, I can't see emulator again after disconnect vga cable but I can see emulator is running on taskbar. Somehow, I can't bring emulator out on desktop screen or move to another screen, it just hidden and I don't know how to bring it out. It already happens to me two or three times. Can somebody help me out? What can I do to solve it?
Below is screenshots of my desktop with emulator running.
alt+tab
avd manager
It happens again when I change to another monitor for extended screen. I try what #Zoe suggested press ALT+SPACE to move but it doesn't work because move is grey out.
So my solution, I created two emulators, for two different monitors.
I am not sure why I got downvoted though.
as already told in the title, I have an issue regarding the preview tool of Android Studio.
As I install the program, all works fine. I can create layouts and previewing them without any trouble. The problem comes when I restart my computer. Every time, the preview tool disappears (grey unselectable menu option and no other buttons to activate it around) and I can't manage to make it work again, unless I re-download Android Studio and I re-update the SDK. It's really annoying, because it's difficult to project a layout without restarting the computer, looking at what you are doing or loading it every time on the phone.
I've attached a screenshot, can anyone help me? Does anyone know a solution?
as you can see, there is no preview and no button to activate it
What about clicking on the design tab at the bottom of the editor ?
so I just recently (yesterday) started developing on the Android platform. So far I have created a Hello World application as described in their tutorial, but it does not run. When I run it, it waits at the blinky Android screen, then finally moves to the screen where it says Android in a fancy font and its kind of glossy and silver but never moves from there. What have I done wrong? Thank you.
That just sounds like the Android emulator isn't starting properly.
If you run adb logcat from the command line, or open "LogCat" view in Eclipse, do you see any messages appearing? You may have to select the "emulator-5554" device first from the "Devices" tab first.
Try exiting the emulator and eclipse both, and then restarting eclipse and running the project once again. This worked for me.
