For some reason my emulator isn't working (even though it previously worked just fine). The emulator launches but my app doesn't. The errors are:
emulator: WARNING: VM heap size set below hardware specified minimum of 256MB
emulator: WARNING: Setting VM heap size to 384MB
emulator: WARNING: Classic qemu does not support SMP. The hw.cpu.ncore option from your config file is ignored.
emulator: device fd:1140
HAXM is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode
emulator: HAXM does not have enough memory remaining to load this AVD.
emulator: AVD RAM size = 1536 MB
emulator: HAXM max RAM size = 512 MB (for all running AVDs)
emulator: Try creating an AVD that requires less RAM or re-running the HAXM installer to set a higher memory limit. The HAXM installer may be found at ....
emulator: Failed to get Hax capability:6
It was working fine (app and everything launched), but these errors appeared about today. How can I fix it?
image here Android Emulator Firstly run,but after some seconds its automatically stopped.
To Fix this problem you need to graphics driver installation of your computer.
Build was successful but when I tried to run the project using AVD, it shows the following message. I'm not sure what went wrong.

You need to adjust your adb ram size.
First open android studio.Then at the top icon bar you can find this icon.Click it.This will open all available virtual device you have.Select your virtual device and at the right you can find this icon .Click it.This will open a new window.At the bottom of this window you can find this .Click it.Then there will be a section like this .Then change RAM size 1536 to 512.Like this .Now click finish and run your application.
Edit:
If your target api is upper than 19 then you need to adjust your haxm installer ram size because when you run your app the avd ram size will increase to 1 GB.
So how to adjust your haxm installer ram size.Follow the step mentioned below.
If you install android studio by it's default position then you can find haxm installer in this locaiton
'C:\Users\Niyamat\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager'
Go to this location(make sure you change userName Niyamat to your username).Click "intelhaxm-android" and run it.Then an alert dialog pop up like this click yes.Then click Next.And finally click Set manually.and remove 512 and add 1024.Something like this .Then click next then install.Wait few seconds for install.And that's it.I think now you can run your app on your virtual device.
Hope this help!
HAXM RAM size should be more than AVD.
Better decrease the RAM size of AVD by editing the emulated device or the other way increase HAXM RAM size.
HAXM RAM size should be more than AVD. Decrease the RAM size of AVD or increase HAXM RAM size.
To reduce ram of avd (Wich I recommend)
Go to your avd manager. Delete the emulator and create a new one. However for the new one make sure it's ram is less than 512 mb.
hi im new to to android studio and programming.
i wrote a simple hello world program, when i click on run and select the default avd device it gives me the following error
"D:\Users\Brian Fernandes\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator.exe" -avd Nexus_5_API_21_x86 -netspeed full -netdelay none
emulator: WARNING: Requested RAM size of 1536MB is too large for your environment, and is reduced to 1152MB.
Cannot set up guest memory 'android_arm': Invalid argument
Error accepting connection, aborting
i reduced the ram now i get the below error
Cannot launch AVD in emulator.
Output:
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!
i have installed haxm yet its giving me this error
Help me resolve the error.
First reduce the size used by this emulator, or try to use an other emulator system image with minimal config to test your Hello Android application.
I advice you to use an Android powered device later when you get ready and when u're a ninja android developer :)
Personally I've had a lot of problems with AVD emulators. I'd try out genymotion as an alternative. https://www.genymotion.com/#!/ This is what I use for all my android development and it's never given me any errors and is faster than avd.
Reduce the RAM for emulator in between 512 MB to 1 GB.
In a Windows environment you cannot use more than 1 GB of ram for emulator.
Whenever I am running my Android application in Android Studio , I am not getting output on my AVD , instead I am getting error in consle
emulator: device fd:680
HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode
emulator: The memory needed by this VM exceeds the driver limit.

One more issue is whenever I am running application in my phone after the execution of 2nd or 3rd application I am getting error that
unfortunately app has stopped
Assuming you have downloaded HAXM using AVD Manager or manually from any website.
While installing intelhaxm_android.exe(C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager) put the RAM space allocation to default which may be 2GB.
I was facing the same problem but it worked after re-installing with 2GB RAM space instead of 1GB which I initially selected. For complete guidance you can refer to: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows
I'm trying to create an emulator with 2047 mb ram.
When I run it, I get this error:
[2011-02-22 14:24:14 - Emulator]
[2011-02-22 14:24:14 - Emulator] This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
[2011-02-22 14:24:14 - Emulator] Please contact the application's support team for more information.
[2011-02-22 14:24:26 - Emulator] Failed to allocate memory: 8
I understand that lowering the number will make it work. But I'd rather have it with more ram, so I can test a game I'm developing. I'm assuming with more ram, it would run faster...
Has anyone got 2047 mb of ram on the emulator? If so, how? What settings did you use? Did you change anything special on your computer?
Using windows 7 64-bit, updated to the latest android sdk. Also I have over 8gb of ram available. I do have one device (motorola milestone) to test on, however since it is a network-based game I need at least one other client (hoping to use the emulator) to run with in addition to my phone.
Solution to running a faster emulator:

Runs my game a lot faster, comparable to phone quality.

I see that people still come here and comment on this answer, and I have done more research on this issue. I present to you the results of my findings.
NOTE: These tests were run on my computer, your computer may be different.
Running an Android 2.2 (armeabi) emulator with Property 'Device ram size' = 2048 will
fail, just as before
Running an Android 2.2 (armeabi) emulator with Property 'Device ram size' = 2048 MB will pass, however if you actually check the ram on the device, its around 128 MB.
check 1: Settings > Applications > Running Services - add all the numbers on the bottom of the screen
check 2: run the following command in adb shell: cat /proc/meminfo/ and note the MemTotal field
Running an Android 4.1 (armeabi-v7) emulator with Property 'Device ram size' = 2048 will work, however if you actually check the ram on the device its around 512 MB
check 1: Settings > Apps > Running tab - add all the numbers on the bottom of the screen
check 2: run the following command in adb shell: cat /proc/meminfo/ and note the MemTotal field
Running an Android 4.1 (armeabi-v7) emulator with Property 'Device ram size' = 2048 MB will work as well, but with the same results as 3.
Conclusion
Adding 'MB' as noted in some of the comments below may allow your device to be launched, however it doesn't actually have 2 GB of RAM. Even with a 4.1 Emulator, the RAM Size is at 512 MB.
Recommendation
Please use an actual device for testing.
I also get this error. Use RAM 512.
I was also getting this error message after upgrading my Android ADK Tool to 20 (even though I have more than sufficient RAM). No changes made to the 'Device RAM size' property helped (whether higher or lower, or with "MB").
What did work for me is running the emulator at the command line and specifying the RAM amount there (less than the default in my case); for example:
emulator -memory 512 -avd my_avd
Add in Run Configurations window the parameter
-memory 512
See screenshot for reference
Solution is that you go and edit the config file for that perticuler avd in .android folder in your user folder in c drive
with RAM = 1024 MB instead 1024
The problem is MB is not there...
I had the same problem but then figured it out. The problem was in the amount of ram I had specified for the virtual machine, and it was 1024MB by default, now I changed it to 512MB and it works; though my pc has 8GB of RAM.
I had the same issue but before I got the issue it asked me to capture a video source. I disabled the camera support and I was able to use 1024MB of RAM. Using Windows 64bit, Xoom (Android 3.0). i hope this helps for anyone with the same problem.
Edit the Device settings and change the RAM allocation to a lower number. If it was 1024 or More, reduce it to 512Mb or 256Mb.
You can Change it in "Edit Android Virtual Device (AVD)" dialog's Hardware Section --> Device ram size
I changed my monitor's DPI settings from the launch options of AVD and syncronized it with the original and current setting of my monitor, and it works for me.
I was getting "failed to allocate memory: 8" errors as well. I have W7-64bit and 8GB of RAM. I found that by running AVD "as Administrator" the error disappeared, allowing the emulator to launch.
Simple computer reboot helped me after I installed HAXM and got that error :)
I had to do this Go to "Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager -> Chose your device -> Edit -> Advanced Settings -> Change the RAM parameter to 512 Mb.
