i want to set up an android emulator, i downloaded android 4.4 (kitkat), tools, and all the extra's
the emulator is loading forever, its already loading for 2 hours, the android startup boot logo is not laggy, so the emulator is not slow.
I rebooted multiple times, and tried different devices
my emulator:
device: 10.1" WGXA (tablet) (1280 x 800: mdpi)
Target: android 4.4 - API level 19
CPU: ARM (armeabi-v7a) <--- cant change this
Memory Options: RAM:768 VM Heap: 32
Internal storage: 4096
Emulation Options: use host GPU
Computer specs:
4.2GHz 8-core cpu
4GB ram
and lot more
if i look in task manager it is using 15%cpu, 470MB RAM and 0MB disk speed
when you're using the Windows OS, you have to set the RAM to 512Mb in order to get the AVD to run properly.
Hope this helps as 2 hours is an awful long time for the emulator to load.
Had the same problem, try starting the AVD on its own and wipe user data before trying your app.
you are running these settings
10.1" WGXA (tablet) (1280 x 800: mdpi)
CPU: ARM (armeabi-v7a)
use host GPU
you must have a SUPER COMPUTER.... try a lower resulion start with 800x400,
if you have an INTEL pc,
download the "INTEL" engine from the SDK-MANAGER.API19
then use "use the GPU" setting and choose the "engine: intel" setting when creating an emulator
if you have a non-intel, then im sorry, stick with 800x400 resolution
Open android sdk manager
Extras-> install Android Support library
I had a problem on Windows 8 64-bit, with fresh installation of Eclipse and Android SDK - Virtual device was starting "forever".
I found this thread http://gotoanswer.stanford.edu/?q=android+emulator+forever+launching and link to
Can having spaces in the android sdk path cause problems in eclipse?
Solution: I moved Android SDK from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
to
c:\android-sdk
Changed location in Eclipse, and this fixed a problem for me. Now AVD launches normally. I have not found any other comments on the reason or explanation.
I hope it will help someone else.

I've no issue launching a Wear VD but I can't get a normal Android to start...
Working on Windows 7 - 64 bits, with Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 (so no 64 bits emulation) and 6Gb RAM.
When I try to launch a virtual device with avd,
If I try with Intel Atom (x86), I get stuck on the Android screen :
Using Google APIs Intel Atom (x86), it stays stuck on the final loading screen :
Android is starting
Starting apps.
Here are the settings :
I've tried to :
lower the emulated RAM under 768 Mb as advised (stuck earlier (at Optimizing app N of 74))
maximise emulated RAM (2048 Mb)
but that doesn't fix the problem...
Any ideas?
Okay its not the previous HAXM errors of 2015 as it was escalated with Intel and they fixed it asof summer 2015:

But that was a different set of CPUs than the on you listed
Probably since you have Windows 7 64-bit the feature may be disabled in your BIOS. The way to enable it in BIOS will be different due to the OEM of the laptop or desktop computer but usually can be found at the OEM's website as its a common asked question.
I'm trying to start an AVD in Android Studio, but it just open a "Splash Screen" (where is written Android), and after, there's no progress.
I searched about it, and I found some discussions about Intel's HAXM (Android Emulator with HAXM freezes on Mac OS Yosemite), I proceeded the installation, but didn't work.
Is there any another config that I should check it out?
That's my AVD settings: API 23 Nexus 4 1GB (RAM) 64MB (VM heap) Graphics: Hardware - GLES 2.0 Multi-Core CPU is checked
Intel x86 System Image (to Android 6.0) is installed too
I'm using a MacOS 10.10 (Yosemite) with 4GB (RAM)
Do you have Docker for Mac installed by any chance? I was just facing the exact same issue and stopping Docker fixed the problem...
As I'm not allowed to comment on the above answer, just to add my own experience. Both Docker and minikube - which will admittedly run it's kubernetes containers using docker - need to be stopped for the emulator to work.
I am using Android Studio in AMD processor system and the emulator is running very slowly. In the emulator i have allocated RAM size to 1 GB and system image to armeabi-v7a of API-level 23 but still the emulator comes after delay of 10 minutes.please help me in it
Well I suggest you to use Genymotion for Android Studio. Blazing fast! Just needs one time installation. No more AVD pain.
Features
System Requirements
Microsoft Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10 (32/64 bit) 64 bit CPU, with VT-x or
AMD-V capability, enabled in BIOS settings Recent and dedicated GPU
400 MB disk space 2GB RAM
You can use Genymotion which runs very smoothly. Also, you can update your Android Studio to latest version, update your gradle version to latest version. Remove all your old emulators and create new emulator which is fast compare to other old emulators.
As far as I know, all emulators like Xamarin Android Player, Genymotion, Nox, BlueStacks, ... using x86-based system images because they are about 10 times faster than ARM-based system images.
if it's not necessary to use ARM-based system image you can use another emulator like Genymotion or Xamarin Android Player or Nox (I prefer to use Nox) but if you need an ARM-based emulator try enabling Snapshot or Use of host GPU when creating a new Virtual Device to get faster operation.
I am a new learner of android development .When I was creating an AVD then it said that "on windows emulating RAM greater than 768M may fail depending upon system load.Try progressively smaller values of RAM if the emulator fails to launch" . respective screen shots are as fallows :
warning
stuck:
I tried to decrease the RAM size after that and tried 400 instead of 1024 but it couldn't open the AVD home page .I waited more than one hour but all in vain .I am using Android 4.4 API level 19 .I don't know why this happening and stuck at this situation.I want to know that where is the problem ,why it's not running .My PC configuration is :
OS: Windows 7 RAM: 2 GB Processor : Core2Duo
AVD is quite slow at times. Tips to speed it up significantly:
Download the Intel x86 Atom System Image from your Android SDK Manager for API 19
Then download and install

If you have a graphics card I would try to enable Host GPU option
Example settings for your AVD:
- CPU/ABI: Intel Atom (x86)
- Emulation Options: Use Host GPU
Eclipse AVD :- I cant create an Android 4.3 virtual emulator
I have installed all the required SDKs
and when I try to create Android 4.3 emulator with the below configuration, it doent work. I simply get a blank screen. Can anyone please help me out. If I try to edit the Avd device, it shows a message that "no device is selected."
device:- Nexus 7 (7.02", 1200 x 1920: xhdpi)
target:- Android 4.3
CPU: ARM
Eclipse Kepler 4.3.2
All the required sdks are isntalled
If you got Intel i3, i5, i7 processor on your PC try setup Android HAXM emulator.
This happened to me from time to time. Check the amount of memory you are giving to that emulator, as using Windows can be problematic if it is more than 768 Mb. Changing this value sometimes do the trick, but sometimes I'm forced to erase the whole emulator, and make a new one with a fine memory value lower than 768 Mb.
