I've read the comment of Prashanth Sams in this question here.
What's bothering me is that when i run my new AVD, it doesn't work now and it's all black. It was working way back when im still using ARM based AVDs. I'm using Eclipse IDe btw, and have all updated updates.

I know there are similar questions on this topic. I have tried them all but nothing seems to work permanently. It seems it doesn't follow any pattern. sometimes for a long time it works just fine and sometimes out of a blue it just stuck and I couldn't make it work no matter what I try. It's really frustrating for me because I need my emulator to test different flavors simultaneously.
So please any one have any ideas?
If you are using windows and you have selected any RTL languages in the regional setting in windows setting, just change back to english (or any non-RTL language) as you open android studio (or while compiling gradle if you are not using offline mode). It is a weird bug that I thing have something to do with parsing.
I have started learning android myself, I have setup the enivronment I am following this link, I have successfully created Hello World app,but when I am running it,the AVD is appearing with black screen with just android word on it.
I have followed each step mentioned in the link,but no luck there is no error in console too, I saw solution in this link and I have waited so too long but its still showing just android word and not Hello world.
Also Please suggest some good book/tutorial for android
Restart your AVD, it takes some time in the beginning. You need to have patience and wait till the home page comes in the emulator. If this doesn't work try to use another Android AVD as mentioned in the above ans.
Also you should prefer Android Studio over eclipse.
Android is the intro of the emulator for some reason your emulator cannot starts,restart your emulator or create a new one. I recommend you use GenyMotion for Android emulator . Some good tutorials for android:

I am using ubuntu 12.04,and Eclipse Platform Version: 3.7.2, I have one issue which i observed occasionally on my system I dont know whether this issue is common and did't find any related question so asked.. problem is - "when I tried to launch android application using emulator(API level 17 Nexus 4),it runs fine no problem and emulator is in front of me, But the moment i open other window like browser,editor it hides and i am not able to see it.." Log says that emulator is ruuning but dont know where it hide.
If someone else is facing this problem, it could be due to memory overwhelming. To solve, in Ubuntu, go to Home/.android/avd/Pixel_X_API_XX.avd
and delete the *lock files, then Run the emulator as usually.
Where I wrote Pixel_X_API_XX.avd it means, for example : Pixel_2_API_32.avd
Bye bye
The title pretty much says it all. I was making a simple Hello-world app and after having recompiled it a few times the newest versioned stopped showing upp in the avd. It was stuck with the same version no matter how many times i tried recompiling. After having uninstalled the app in the avd, relauched the avd a couple times, etc it started working normally again and updated for each recompile.
Now i just started a new project, added a few buttons and stuff to it and this problem appears again. No matter what I do, it just shows the state of a newly-created project without any editing. I.e with a textfield saying something like "hello*name*activity"
Edit: After playing around a bit more i.e. uninstalled the app in the avd, wiped userdata in the avd, restarted the avd, restarted eclipse, it still just showed the helloactivity-text instead of my app. Finally i rebooted my computer which "solved" it. Very annoying. I can especially imagine this being frstrating when you're not even sure if it's the new or the old version of the app shwing upp, like when trying to fix a bug.
Any idea as how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance!
I have run into this with Eclipse's incremental updates, try a clean build, uninstall the app (I see you already tried this) from the avd and finally file a bug report.
I am trying to test my app on android emulator. So as soon as, i am choosing run the application, a new window pops up on the screen and after taking 1-2 minutes, it goes not responding.
I also tried running the emulator separately using AVD manager. Using this, i am able to start the emulator; but after 3-4 minutes - it goes "not responding".
OS- Windows 7 32 bit [ intel pentium 3.00 GHZ + 2GB RAM]
Java - 1.6
Android SDK - i have the latest SDK with 3.0 OS
IDE - eclipse Helios Service Release 2.
Plz help, i am unable to do anything.
Update: can you guys point me towards other 3rd party emulators which i can use?
Update2: My emulator is taking too much time in launching now. Can this be a cause? If yes, then how do i decrease the boot time?
(This isn't so much of an answer, but might go some way to figuring out the source of the problem; I'd comment on the original question instead but don't have enough rep to do so)
I keep having this problem too. I have an app with a few activities, one of which contains a layout with a Canvas which runs its own thread to do drawing processing. All of the activities run fine except for this Canvas activity which seems to crash the emulator in the way the OP described (the emulator .exe itself crashes rather than the application within the emulator) if left to run for a few minutes. As far as I can tell I'm not doing anything unusual with the thread - I copied the Lunar Landar example in the SDK and worked from that so I'm doing everything "by the book". The app runs fine on real devices.
So, while I realise the OP may be long gone, could anyone else with a similar problem confirm that the affected Activity is using a Canvas, drawing Thread, or anything like that? This problem is a real pain and I can't find any other discussions/solutions for the matter.
EDIT: I recently did a complete, clean re-install of the most recent versions of Eclipse and the Android SDK with all the updates and that seemed to solve the problem. Guess there was a bug in an older version of the emulator that was fixed in a more recent release.
Have you enabled snapshots. If you enabled it then you can be trying to open a incorrectly saved snapshot. If so, while starting the emulator with launch options, uncheck launch from startup
#mudit:remember Android 3.0(Honeycomb) is dedicated entirely to only tablets and not the mobile phones..
Does the emulator prompts you "not responding" in your app or when you just start the emulator without launching an app, too?
A strong advice: you don't need to restart the emulator for every app launch, just keep him running (maybe you already do that).
Does the logcat show some errors prior to the "not responding"? Have you tried creating another AVD?
