I am trying to start the android emulator from eclipse. I chose the Nexus7 as my device. Everything seems to loads fine. The phone then goes through the steps as if it were an new installation and asks me to cover the screen with my palm to dim the screen. How do I simulate covering the screen with my palm since I can not get past this step?
I just downloaded eclipse with android bundle so I have the most recent version of everything.
Can you check your target in AVD.
May be you select your target as Android 4.4W.
W means wearable.
Try to change that target to 4.4.2 or any other target.

I used Android Studio before and setup buildin device (Pixel 3), I remove "Enable device frame" option for saving screen size.
All works fine.
Today I tried to setup a device with a new screen resolution (iPhone 11 Pro like - 1125x2436). I delete old Pixel 3 and created a new device, remove "Enable device frame" option, start. After progress bar appear the end, the emulator is closed and error appear:
"The emulator process for AVD devicename was killed."
I trying some google, updated Studio, rebooted PC (Linux), created new devices, but nothing helped.
I tried chose "Enable device frame" option and pick a skin. After that emulator successfully started (!).
Can anybody explain why emulator not starting without skin? Can it be fixed somehow?
Just fixed the issue.
For some strange reasons emulator launch without device frames after I changed screen resolution from 1125x2436 to 1126x2436.
I made an android project in android studio & test it in real device it works fine but now i have not real device with me & want to run the project in Emulator. I install the AVD & intelhaxm-android.exe from the directory
C:\Users\INZI\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
after that I created Virtual Device to test the app but when I run this it shows black screen with android printed in the centre of the device but does not show the home screen. I tried it with the
Visualization technology Enabled in BIOS setting. what should I do now I waited about more than a half of the hour but its same.
Please help
Thank you in advance
I resolved the mentioned problem Emulator was not showing the home screen because
I have more size of virtual Device than Haxm
I haven't completely downloaded the API with which I was testing.
Now I set less size of Virtual Device & test the app with the lower API that I fully downloaded .... now its working fine.
If I were you, I would try Genymotion which is a much smoother emulator than the default. Furthermore, you will not run into any problems while setting it up as the program handles everything for you. Of course, as you become more experienced, you will want to debug your apps on a real device but as you do not have access to one, Genymotion is your best option.
When I open the android emulator, it stays on a black screen.
The app I'm testing is small and basic.
I have the arm* type downloaded, and I set it to 300 RAM, but still nothing.
Emulator have many issue if you want good & fast emulator then uses genymotion Download from link https://www.genymotion.com/#!/. you will get different type of device and fast devices then emulator.
Recently upgraded from API 16 to 17. Has been retaining all AVDs that were added before and they were working fine after the upgrade too. But today I deleted all old AVDs and added few new ones, each with each device specification available. Earlier, the booting time was around 5 minutes for AVDs with recent versions (4.1.2) and around 2 minutes for AVD with 2.3.3. But now, AVDs with 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 takes 10 to 15 minutes to boot. Moreover, it fails to load launcher. When I touch on the launcher button on the Home screen, it loads the list of Apps and displays a usage tip, "To add an app to your Home screen, touch & Hold it" over it. So far expected. But touching on "OK" for this tip leads to "Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped" error. Not touching on anything leads me back to the home screen.
Tried unchecking AVD options, "Hardware keyboard present" and "Display a skin with hardware controls". Still the issue remains.
It was a memory issue. Problem fixed on incrementing the default value of VM heap by a factor of 16. (16 to 32 and 32 to 48).
I know this should be more a comment then an answer, but I'm too new to StackOverflow. Hopefully a mod transfers this answer.
Are you using an Intel image? Because those ARM images are really slow. When you want to use an Intel image you should also install HAXM (https://stackoverflow.com/a/10772162/1741111). Be sure to select it the right settings. 768 RAM is the maximum on Windows.
These are my settings:
Yes, same issue on my latest SDK for Android 4.4. I am running the "ARMeabi-v7a", from the AVD (Android Virtual Device) Manager.
Every time I started the emulator, it would crash once you selected the apps screen, and tried to launch an app. The emulated app launcher would crash with
Unfortunately, the Launcher has stopped.
Really a pain.. I am running at the API level 19, so probably due to internal program bloat...
Once I raised the VM heap memory from 16 to 48, I noted that a special help program runs, with a big outline of a hand pointing at the "Downloads" app, and explaining that you can press and hold any app to move it to the main screen.
I am running on a WIN-XP (32-bit) old dual core Centrino Toshiba Satellite Pro, so maybe on newer 64-bit machines, the error does not show up. But thanks, Rajeesh.
I just used AVD Manager to edit the parameter screen for the ARMeabi-v7a emulated target device, and now the emulator launches successfully, and I can see (and run) my first "Hello World" app, built with the Eclipse ADT stuff. - Mark_L
this may be a stupid question, but I've been doing Android Development for quite some time but just installed the new version of the SDK and ADT Eclipse plugin.
I've noticed that when I create a new AVD I can choose a specific device, I.e. Nexus 7 or Nexus Phone. I've selected the Galaxy Nexus but the emulator doesn't fit on the screen so I can't see the bottom of the device. At the moment I'm working on my Desktop which has a 21 inch monitor (1600 x 900) not the most highest spec in the world but I want to be able to fit the device on the screen. I also have a secondary screen which I usually keep the emulator on so I can see the code and the emulator, handy for debugging purposes, but this screen is much smaller and only has a resolution of 1280 x 800. At the moment, it would be impossible to press on the back and home buttons, and if I do development on my laptop, which is obviously a much smaller screen, probably wouldn't be able to see most of the device, as the AVD doesn't seem to scale to fit the screen.
Is there a way that this can be done. Below is a screen shot of how the device looks on my screen.
Right click your project -> Run Configuration -> select target -> in additional emulator command line option text box, type '-scale 0.75' and run your app
For those using Ionic CLI or other solutions, the following worked for me:
ionic run android -scale=0.75
In Android Studio, the option is set in the AVD Manager, under "Startup size and orientation".
