I downloaded the new android 5.0 sdk and sys-image, but if i would like to start an emulator with android 5.0 it not start just show me a black screen, whats the problem?
You have to turn on the option "Use host GPU".
On my Mac I had already enabled Use Host GPU and that did not help me. I was using CPU/ABI: Intel Atom (x86_64) and then changed it to Intel Atom (x86) and then it launched.
Android SDK Platform-tools r21 or higher is required.
Android SDK Tools 23.0.5 or higher is required.
I have Intel HAXM up and running fine on Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit (Core i3-2100 3.1 GHZ, 4 GB RAM).
About starting an Android emulator Intel x86 for API 21 with Use Host GPU enabled,
I had started it in just a first try using JDK 64-bit.
I can not start it even though waiting for a whole day using JDK 32 bit.
I hope this helps.

all!
Today was my first time installing Android Studio on my Windows 10 Home Edition laptop and things became complex quickly. Android Studio seemingly installed, but Intel HAXM didn't. (Error message is below.) Further Googling showed me that Hyper-V wasn't available on Windows 10 Home Edition and was seemingly forcibly removed/super disabled on a recent service pack release.
How important is HAXM for Android development since I lack an Android phone? If I don't use Android Studio, what Android emulator and version should I use?
Thankee!
HAXM is a cross-platform hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor), widely used as an accelerator for Android Emulator and QEMU. It has always supported running on Windows and macOS and has been ported to other host operating systems as well, such as Linux and NetBSD
It is Intel's virtualization extension for Android Emulator on x86.
You can use an emulator with the ARM image instead of HAXM provided that you installed it in your SDK manager.
Check your SDK manager and install the ARM image for the API level you want, then go to the AVD manager and make a virtual device using ARM as the CPU.
Note: ARM images are not available in the latest API levels, but it is available on API level 25 below
I think you don't need it for work with Android Studio.
If you don't have an Android Phone, you will need to set up Genymotion.
I have installed MS VS 2015. I've installed xamarin with all required staff like Android sdk etc. I have this options for xamarin project:
For both options I get this errors:
2>emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
2>Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
2>CPU acceleration status: Android Emulator requires an Intel processor with VT-x and NX support. Your CPU: 'AuthenticAMD'
How to fix it?
You find the details in this answer on stackoverflow:
In current AVD manager you can't. You just have the opportunity to use
ARM images which will not need hardware virtualization.
but, have you tried the Visual Studio Android Emulator? This emulator is a lot faster then the images from Google and it's free. We use this Emulator and it works like a charm.
Check the system requirements to ensure, the emulator works on your machine.
Edit
To enable Hyper-V look at this detailted answer. But note:
You must be running Windows 8 Pro or Windows 8 Enterprise. Hyper-V is
not available in basic Windows 8. Same applies to Windows 8.1.
Your CPU may not support Virtualization Technology (VTx)
I am novice to Android development. Recently installed android studio and trying to have AVD up and running. Here is what i have
Windows 8.1 Pro
Android Studio 0.8.14
Android SDK Tools : 23.0.5
Android SDK Build Tools : 21.1.1
Android Platform-tools : 21
Since i want to use JellyBeans i installed Android 4.1.2 (API 16 ) ( installed all 7 modules )
Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM) installed.
Usb driver installed.
When i try to install HAXM i get following error
I was reading release notes for HAXM and found following. Under known issue section
-HAXM driver does not support emulating a 64 bit system image on Intel systems based on Core microarchitecture (Core, Core2 Duo etc.). All systems based on Nehalem and beyond are supported. (Corei3, Core i5 and Core i7 machines).
Q : Is there ANY other way i can run AVD without buying a new Computer ?? It looks like i have to buy a computer with Coreix series processor ??
Your processor doesn't support Intel Virtualization technology support which is needed to launch emulator. Intel Core2 duo 8400 does support this.
Not sure about the core thing. But I was able to use it after uninstalling hyper-v. You can do so in turn on/off Windows features.
I have Installed HAXM for linux 64bit and KVM installed successfully.
Hardware supports VT.
VT enabled in bios.
Installed Intel x86 Atom System Images for desired API's.
Still can't change CPU/abi to Intel x86 using ADV Manager.
This was working for my previous machine with eclipse Indigo,Now not working with ADT bundle From Developers site
ADT Bundle
When you create your AVD, be sure to select the API level for which you have an x86 image installed. In your screen caps above, you show that you have x86 images installed for API level 15 and API level 10. If you are creating an AVD with API level 19, you will not be able to select the x86 image since it is not installed.
It was problem with ADT version.
I updated ADT version to latest 22.6 and now it is working properly.
Thanks for advices though.
can you check your permissions for your SDK folder ?
ls -al /home/pankaj/PankajWorkplace/DevelopmentTools/sdk/system-images/android-15/*
Maybe your AVD Manager doesn't use the right location. If you launch it from eclipse, is eclipse configured to use the Android SDK in /home/pankaj/PankajWorkplace/DevelopmentTools/sdk ? You can change this path from eclipse Window -> preferences -> Android.
I've installed the new tools without problems. I've installed the Intel HAXM. I've verified (with sc query intelhaxm) that the Intel service is running. I've also confirmed the machine (a Lenovo ThinkCentre) supports Intel Virtualization Technology.
So why in the AVD Manager is the CPU/ABI field fixed at ARM for every single platform version of Android?
At the time of this writing, the only available x86 emulator image is for Android 2.3.3 (API Level 10), listed in the SDK Manager as "Intel Atom x86 System Image". Hopefully others will become available in the future.
BTW, for those reading this question and answer and going "huh?", the r17 edition of the Android developer tools added support for native x86 emulators, which will run somewhat faster than their ARM emulator equivalents.
You can download Android emulator images direct from Intel's website. Here they have a KitKat image that looks to be API 19 (4.4).
Just to keep this question up to date:
Like CommonsWare said, at the time of that writing, the only Intel x86 images available were API 10. Some time ago Intel started updating images in sync with SDK releases.
In order to use the images, you may download them from the SDK Manager, or follow Intel's Instructions (4.3-specific, but apply generally).
Despite what you use, note an important point of the instructions:
select non-"Google APIs" targets (e.g. "Android 4.3 - API Level 18") - the AVD Manager won't let you change CPU to x86 unless using vanilla droid targets.
I had a startup issue on ubuntu as well. To get it working I used the -disable-kvm option. Took three days to find this solution.
./emulator -avd i -noaudio -nojni -netfast -show-kernel -verbose -gpu on -cpu-delay 0 -qemu -m 512 -disable-kvm
