In my PC, I can create any medium density emulator(e.g. 1280x768) and run it properly. But when I am trying to run any emulator of high density or extra high density emulator, it is showing black screen only, it is not loading anything and I cannot run any app there, if I try to run any app, it is giving "Error type 2". What is problem? Is it any hardware limitation?
I too face this type of problem earlier. But I have rectified this by using VirtualBox.
Install virtual box
check this for how to use virtual box as android emulator
I installed different add-on like Samsung Galaxy, Motorola Xoom, Xoom2, Xoom2Me etc and create AVD using them, it solved my problem.

I'm trying to run the emulator in Android Studio. When I run the avd for Nexus 5 API 8, the phone image appears, but the screen is blank. Some research uncovered that the nexus screen may be too dense to display on my 1368x768 laptop screen, so I tried creating smaller density avds such as 4" wvga nexus s and 3.4" wvga. When I run these, I get the error "failed to create drawable" and no phone image pops up. When I connect my LG phone via usb in developer mode, the app works fine on the phone. Why can't I get the emulator to display the app output?
I had a similar problem and the solution was to disable hardware rendering.
Steps:
Open Tools\Android\AVD Manager
Edit the Virtual Device (Click on the pencil)
Change Emulated Performance - Graphics to 'Software-GLES 2.0'

After installing Genymotion or AVD Emulator on Windows 10 they got a strange resolution (can´t post images due to my reputation).
I have already tried to custom devices and their resolutions. AVD Emulator has the worst resolution, even outside the device screen, where native android buttons are (on/off, keyboard...). Anyone else with this problem?
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.
I am trying to run my app specifically on Galaxy S4. But I do not have the real time device. So, I'm trying to create the emulator for Galaxy S4. I have a normal Core I3 system with 4GB RAM. It doesn't have any graphics card and all.
I am finding the ways for installing the Samsung Galaxy S4 add-ons to my sdk. But I am not getting it.
I referred these links,
Android Galaxy S4 Emulator Not Opening
How to test android app in Galaxy S4 configuration using emulator?
http://developer.samsung.com/android/technical-docs/Using-Samsung-Emulators-for-Android-Application-Development
http://developer.samsung.com/board/list.do?ctgy1=1&ctgy2=1&menu=EN01010301&srchYn=Y&pageIndex=1&pageSize=10&search=
However, I am unable to get any results with these.
Then I referred this alternative for Galaxy S4 i.e., installing Sony add-on for Xperia Z which has the same config as S4. And I am able to create a Xperia Z avd. I have checked "Use Host GPU" option also. But still, the screen appears to be totally black.

So can any body tell me how to install S4 add on so that I can create an emulator for it.
Update:
RAM Allocated: 256MB
HeapSize: 64
And I have modified the screen size to 4.0 inches to adjust to my system.
This is how I created my S4 emulator and working perfectly.
Go to "Android VirtualDevice Manager" -> Device Manager -> New Device and fill in like this:
Or follow this tutorial:

You can check Samsung RTL. It will be very useful for testing. Just create a new credential and use any of available devices.
Try using Genymotion. It provides a built-in image for Galaxy S4/HTC One/Xperia Z (running Android 4.2.2). While it does not emulate any S4 specific software, it does provide a pretty good hardware match.
I am on mac-OSX and setting "Use Host GPU" solved the problem
I a few days i will get a new Samsumg Galaxy SII and now i want to try developing apps for Android, so i installed eclipse and the ADT however the emulator seems to be painfully slow so i found a workaround: installing the generic x86 version in Oracle VirtualBox and connect it via adb connect <ip> to eclipse and it works extremely well.
However i am running in a "high res" version or something like that and i would like to scale it down to some more common resolution to imitate the resolution of smartphones like my Galaxy. Is anyone familiar with this customization?
I'm not sure how one can control the resolution at install. However, you if you run it live from the disk, you can highlight VESA mode. Then,
If you want to use higher resolution, you can edit the boot option by
pressing TAB, change vga=788 (800x600) to vga=791 (1024x768) or
vga=794 (1280x1024), and press Enter. You can also use vga=ask to see
all available modes. But please note Android will only work under
16-bit mode.

For 800x480, you'll want video mode 375.
I've tested on 2.2 and 2.3: "android-x86-2.3-RC1-asus_laptop.iso" and http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/detail?name=android-x86-2.2-generic.iso&can=2&q= and i can get that video mode to work fine. After entering vga=ask, hit enter to see all the modes, then enter 375.
