I've always used the android emulator from the AVD manager and it's working fine, but today I was trying to open it and it wasn't working. It only showed this screen and an errors messages.
I got these erros from eclipse:
Updating the ADT and SDK generally solves this kind of issue.
Re-start the emulator then-after.
This will certainly help....
Make sure the snapshot checkbox of that AVD is not checked.
If yes then just uncheck the checkbox.
Go to AVD Manager -> Select the device -> click Edit and uncheck the Enabled checkbox.
Also try setting the RAM to 512 Mb.
I hope this works.
EDIT :
Please make sure Use Host GPU is checked. Cause checking it enables the hardware OpenGLES emulation.

I faced a problem while lunching android emulator... but i fixed it by creating New Android Virtual Device

Currently I have a strange issue on Android Studio 4.1 with my emulators. When I'm trying to change the orientation to landscape the ui of the emulator is completely breaking... This is how it looks like:
Has anyone an idea why this is happening? I changed the emulator performance in the AVD settings to "Software" after that it does not happen but it is very slow.
As already pointed out, setting emulator graphics options to "Software" helps as a temporary fix.
I would like to add that if you can't change the settings in the AVD Configuration (in my case graphics were automatic, the field was readonly), you can do that manually:
on AVD Manager, right-click on the desired device, then "Show on Disk"
look for the config.ini of the device and open it
change "hw.gpu.mode = auto" to "hw.gpu.mode = software"
This worked for me. Hope it helps someone else to avoid headaches.
Hoping you are referring to emulator UI broken ,like this image
For me, clicking on zoom button seems to fix the issue.
I can't change the graphics to software as I'm sure this is the fix for my AVD not launching.
The option is greyed out (see screenshot). Has anyone has experience with this? I couldn't find anyone who had the same issue.
I'm running the latest version of Android Studio on Ubuntu 17.04.
Actually, this problem seems to be limited to devices with Play Store available, so Nexus 5X and Nexus 5 images will be forced to use Automatic Graphics, but all other devices allow you to choose either Automatic, Hardware or Software graphics.
edit: I've just tested this today and it seems to no longer be the case. At least on MacOS with Android Studio 3.3.2, I can now make a Nexus 5X image with Play Store and Hardware Graphics. I'll do more testing at home later, on Windows and Linux to see if it's related to OS or graphics drivers.
I also think it's related to whether the Playstore is contained or not, but I cannot explain why.
Dielson Sales already gave the answer which worked for me - unfortunately only in a comment to this answer. I just thought it's worth to make a "real" answer out of it:
Edit the config.ini file of the AVD. Under Linux it's located under /home/<user>/.android/avd/<AVD-name>/config.ini
(in my case <AVD-name> is Nexus_5X_API_29.avd).
In a text editor change the lines
hw.gpu.enabled=no
hw.gpu.mode=auto
either to
hw.gpu.enabled=no
hw.gpu.mode=off
or to
hw.gpu.enabled=yes
hw.gpu.mode=host
This setting remains even if opened in the Android Virtual Device Manager of Android Studio. It's just not editable there.
I also tried this, which I found in another AVD:
hw.gpu.enabled=yes
hw.gpu.mode=software
But this is then changed to "no" / "off" by the Android Virtual Device Manager.
I didn't look any further so far. hw.gpu.mode=off worked for me. Otherwise my whole Kubuntu hangs (using the Nouveau driver, not the NVidia driver)
Seems like the problem was with the choosen VM. If I choose a Nexus 4, it runs just fine.
I am little late on this thread but following are my findings and solution. I am using Ubunut 18.04 and faced the same issue. The solution is to edit AVD and under Emulated Performance, change the grpahics to Software. The problem was that this option was disabled for me. I was unable to change graphics drop down.
I did some more research and found that while creating AVD if you choose default/existing device definition on first screen, you will not be able to edit graphics drop down.
The solution is to create a "New Hardward Profile" while creating AVD and use your new profile. Now, you will be able to edit "Grahics" drop down.
Hope this helps....
It seems all emulators with Play Store cannot emulated performance. I am using AS 4.0
Open Android Virtual Device Manager Android Studio, change VMHeap to 512, RAM to 4096 MB. Then restart Android Studio.
I think It's just a bug!
Solved the issue by selecting any virtual device had the option enabled and after finishing the installation I just clicked on edit and reselected the device I wanted and the option was still enabled.
Click on edit button from here.
Then change the device to the one you want.
For those who are still searching for solutions on how to make it work with an image containing google play store: install / update your GPU drivers solves the problem. On my Ubuntu 20 this was the issue.
I'm working on mac os - after i upgrade my os my emulator stoped working and one of the solution was to change the graphic settings from hardware to software - since i couldn't - came here ---> turns out Android Emulator HAXM on macOS High Sierra is left out from security reasons

I managed to connect my webcam to android studio's emulator, however I am keep getting these wrong preview from the camera.Does anybody know the possible cause of it?
May be following will work for you
1.Open AVD Manager:
2.Add/Edit AVD:
3.Click Advanced Settings in the bottom of the screen:
4. Set your camera of choice as the front/back cameras:
hope it will help you..
UPDATE
try with delete the old AVD and create fresh one with these configs.
Just started getting this. No idea why.
I tried 3 different new devices and get this for all of them.
Just use Genymotion as your emulator. Fast and easy to use. You just need virtual box to install it.
Please go to the SDK manager and check if the components have been downloaded properly or not.
You might need to remove and re-download them as this happens if the image was corrupted.
I just started getting something similar too.
If I set the scale option to 'Auto' everything works as intended. I assume Google have mode some changes but not updated everything properly.
Reinstalling the Android SDK worked. Took a few attempts to get it right. Had to uninstall and then reinstall. Picked x86_64 image in the end
Then I was able to go to my various virtual devices and use the Repair Device links as seen here to fix them:
After searching a lot, I found out this link : http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/sdks/sony-add-on-sdk/install-the-sony-add-on-sdk/
Following the steps as per the instruction, I have created AVD for 1080x1920 screen resolution,i.e., Xperia Z. But still when I try to run this emulator, it display nothing but a blank screen, seems not working at all. Also checked the "Use Host GPU" option. But no result???? Can anyone please help me.
Thanks in advance
I also had this problem, then I found this solution.
I checked "Use host GPU emulation" option for avd. Also keep in mind that your system must have graphics card (GPU) installed in it.
use the following steps to make avd for s4 or any type:withe help of genymotion third party pulgin:
