I have been using Eclipse and then Android Studio to develop a small app and it all (including the emulator) seemed to go reasonably well, until downloading the latest updates for Android Studio.
Now when I try to run the AVD emulator it gets stuck on the android logo and continually refreshes the screen with a white flash, which looks like it is in synch with the logo refreshing, but doesn't get any further.
I have tried numerous different combinations of device, API, resolution, wiping data, running the emulator from the command line, RAM et. al. for the emulator and different resolutions and refresh rates on my Windows 2008 R2 workstation but nothing works. Can anybody suggest where next to look?
Android studio requires a good integration of hardware as well as OS to run properly running emulator see how munch RAM does it takes run emulator during installation of emulator and use a low quality of emulator first because both android studio and emulator requires different memory space. Coming to the OS and studio works better on UBUNTU, LINUX etc instead on windows and using and if u don't have enough RAM u can use pend-drive as ReadyBoost.

I'm using a Windows 10 machine with Intel Core 2.20 GHz processor (x64-based processor) and 8.00 GB of RAM and I've assigned 2048 Mb of RAM to the emulator.
So, in my understanding the machine is not that bad to run the emulator quickly. But, emulator response time is too long and also utilizing 80% of CPU, 95% of Memory and 100% of Disk.
Also, tried to assign less RAM from AVD manager to the same emulator but still the same issue and sometimes only white screen is appearing on the android emulator. I have android studio 2.3.3 and already tried to enable/disable the "Instant Run" from the settings but no success at all.
So, is there any possible way to fix this issue, or at least want to know why speed/performance of an android emulator is too slow instead of some external emulator such as Genymotion.
I've spent days on internet and on stack overflow but couldn't find a similar issue/solution and didn't understand the reason of slow performance of android emulator.
You can use Nox Player App and use it like hardware device. You will be able to debug your code as well.
I was wondering if there was a way to run an Android emulator on another computer than the one I'm coding / building the app from. I have a very nice computer with good components and I want to code and build from it, but I don't have an Intel CPU, which means I cannot use VT-x. Therefore, I'm trying to launch the ARM emulator, but after waiting for about 5 minutes, it still wasn't launched (the android booting screen was still shown).
Therefore, I'd like for my computer to deploy the application on my laptop's Android emulator, because it has an Intel processor. I'm coding in Android Studio. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks a lot,

I'm trying to run the Android SDK AVD Emulator on my Windows 10 Machine with an i7-6700K and a Geforce GTX 970. I activated Host GPU and Intel HAXM is operational as well. Performance looks generally good, but for a reason that eludes me the emulator hangs every 3-4 Seconds for about a second, then continues normally. As the effect is hard to describe accurately, I made a short video to illustrate the effect:
https://youtu.be/Dl1pxTRIu_c
As I tried to show in the video, even the virtual keyboard below the actual phone emulation is affected by this "hanging". I already tried deactivating my virus scanner (Avira Free), with no effect. There is also nothing running in the background using too much CPU resources (or, any at all, according to the Windows Taskmanager, the system is jumping between about 6% and 15%). Neither using another SDK image nor another device or resolution seemed to help either.
Any help in improving this is greatly appreciated, thank you!
Install Intel HAXM from android sdk it speed ups android emulator

Why is the Android emulator so slow? How can we speed up the Android emulator?
I have intel i7 quad core with 4GB of ram but when I try to run my app on the emulator, God it takes a hell lot of time. Some times more than 5 minutes. I am not emulating any game or graphics intensive thing. I am learning android so just trying simple aps but still it is very slow. Moreover today I found this emulator has stop playing any music or sound I used the in the programs, I made previously. What can be the reason of this weird behaviour and slow speed.
How can I fix it? I am on Windows 7
PS: when I try to type in an app from user keyboard, the emulator doesn't take any input unless I use the emulator keyboard. Can I change its settings to take input from keyboard.

Open android sdk manager, in extras, install "Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager", and use x86 images (there are two available, one 2.3.3, one 4.0.3) provided by intel.
On windows, android SDK Manager only downloads the installer of IntelHaxm, so you have to go in and install it yourself. Usually you can find it under
android-sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and install IntelHaxm.exe as admin.
4GB of RAM imho is not enough, windows 7 and eclipse together takes more than 2GB out on my system. 8GB is minimum and the more the better.
The emulator has always painfully slow for me; I've never gotten any of the standard speed suggestions to work. However, if you have a device available, testing directly on it is much, much faster.
I have installed Android SDK on my computer. I have a intel i7-2600 processor and a Zotaxc 460 gtx fermi and 12 gb of ram. Basically saying, it shouldn't be running slow. Any suggestions on how to speed up the apis? or is it just slow?
Assuming you are referring to the Emulator and not Eclipse or something, you can speed up the Emulator a bit by choosing a smaller screen size for the virtual device, like HVGA instead of WVGA, etc. But that only goes so far. The emulator is just not very fast right now. They are working on it, however. I believe they show some of their early work in this Google I/O session.
If you mean the AVD (the android device emulator) is running slowly, then it is behaving as expected. Perhaps you have an android device you can plug in and run your app on? I would recommend you download developer drivers for whatever device your using instead of the bloated ones they try to get you to download.
Good luck.
Here is some usefull question that is about speed of android emulator:
Why is the Android emulator so slow? How can we speed up the Android emulator?
Eclipse performance can by improved by setting eclipse.ini. For example I have set -Xms512m
-Xmx2048m. Without this options, Eclipse has too few memory to open my project.
Disable the boot animation with -no-boot-anim, "Disabling the boot animation can speed the startup time for the emulator."
