I'm a newbie that needs some help on getting the AVD running with my app. I've been developing C code for decades, but I have to admit the Eclipse/AVD setup has me stumped! I'm following the 'HelloWorld' tutorials on the developer.android website (and some others) and everything seems to be working OK, up to the point where I try to run it on the AVD simulator. I'm not getting any warnings, the Eclipse build/run output window says that everything is installed OK and the AVD does startup and run. Eclipse says that my app is loading, but it never runs. All I get is the simulator window with "ANDROID" on the screen and the buttons on the right-hand side.
I've got Eclipse Indigo and r18 of the Android PlugIn (I tried to install Helios, but the Eclipse website directed me to Indigo!). Is Indigo OK for running the simulator, or do I specifically need Helios? I also have Java 1.7.
The API level I have installed is Level 15 (v4.xxx of Android, I think). Don't know if I need a lower version to get my tutorial app to run, but level 15 is the only one I can select when setting up a device in the AVD manager.
I've been trying to get this going for days, trying all sorts of switches and buttons, but to no avail. Before I start uninstalling everything and reinstalling, can anyone advise if there is anything I might be missing, or has tripped over this problem themselves and found a way around it? Something that always trips up new starters maybe? Or do I need to go back to scratch?
Any help would be much appreciated.
How long are you leaving your emulator running after you attempt to launch your application? The Android OS can take a long time to boot up in the emulator. If it's stuck on the "ANDROID" screen then you're either not waiting long enough or there's something wrong with your emulator. It should eventually boot into the normal Android lock screen or home screen just like a device.
You can launch your emulator ahead of attempting to run your app by opening the Android Virtual Device Manager (toolbar icon in Eclipse, if installed properly) and then selecting an emulator and clicking the "Start" button. If you don't have any emulators listed, then you need to create one by clicking the "New..." button.

I am developing an Android app in Android Studio. When I try to run it on an AVD, the AVD screen shows nothing.
The device frame is visible, but there is nothing inside it. The message "waiting for target device to come online" doesn't show up either.
Furthermore, I am unable to edit the graphics in the AVD settings. I have tried running the program both normally and from the AVD manager, but it doesn't work either way.
Other solutions which I have tried (and failed) are removing C:\Windows\System32\Wbem from the PATH environment variable, ending the ADB process in Task Manager, and wiping data from the AVD in AVD manager. Oh, and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Android Studio but it still doesn't work, even for a basic Hello World program. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I faced this problem due to my ram several times and even after upgrading I had to make several changes. The best solution is to set up a new avd. use Nexus S, and a light image. Start with API 16 and when it works go ahead and create your desired AVD. Keep your eye on the pop up errors AVD shows like HAXM
It may seem silly but have you checked if the emulator is not locked?
Ok, when Emulator is not displaying anything and saying like, waiting for online,
after click on power button then what you have to do is Go to,
AVD Manager then in Actions section click on bottom triangle button and click on "Cold Boot Now" to make working your Emulator.
I just downloaded and installed Android Studio (v 2.3.3), and am starting to teach myself programming for Android by following Google's tutorials. (I finished the Java MOOC courses offered by University of Helsinki a little while ago). However, I can't seem to get the emulator working (following the instructions here). I chose the Nexus 5x (same as my phone), but it seems to be frozen on the boot screen. The animation has stopped.
This is what it looks like
I've tried deleting the emulator and recreating it again, but that didn't change it. I can't close or stop the emulator. I can't even kill it with the Task Manager (I'm on Windows 10). None of the buttons next to the boot screen do anything, except the three dots on the bottom, which open up the Extended Controls. The Android Virtual Device Manager won't let me start, stop, or delete it. The only way I was able to remove it and create a new one was to kill it by restarting my computer.
It's a fresh installation, and I'm extremely new to Android development, so I have no idea what to try next.
I'm new to Java, haven't used Eclipse in probably 2 years. We're starting up a mobile dev team at work, and I'm just going over the tutorials on the Android site:
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/running-app.html
Simply just created a project, launched the virtual device manager, have that emulator running, then click Run -> Run as Android application in Eclipse .
I've been staring at this screen for about 5 minutes now:
It says "Launching (100%)" in the bottom right corner of eclipse, and this Progres window just says Launching, but the emulator isn't doing anything.
I know emulators are generally pretty slow... But is this normal or did I do something wrong?
That happened to me too, and still does at times:
Close the emulator and execute the program again
If that didn't work, execute the program while the emulator is running. A new emulator will pop up, close the old emulator
If that didn't work, delete device and create a new one.
Also, is there anything at all popping up on the Logcat view?
I would recommand checking the list of process afterwards. Sometimes when i brutally terminate an app in eclipse, the process is still running.
But i'm on PC and i use an older version. Maybe it has been fixed.
Iv been searching on google for this problem but came with no similar problem from anyone else, so there was no answer. I run the emulator from the AVD manager, the loading bar goes almost to the end and then the window disappears and no emulator loads up. Only the AVD manager stares back at me. Anyone knows what could the problem be?
I also have Java ME installed with Java SE, thats for a different platform. Could it be that Java ME is interfering? The emulator works fine on my home computer and there is no Java ME there, but at work it wouldn't load. The whole android SDK folders at work pc and at home pc are both same copy paste from my old home pc that I used to bring to work before.
This problem wasn't solved and eventually did not occur after a system wipe (required for something else)
is it possible that the screen of the emulator itself just turned off, and you need to turn it on?
try pressing F7 to turn it on.
if that doesn't help , try to create a totally new AVD without setting anything there , and run it.
if nothing helps, remove the folder of the sdk manager and re-install it .
This is my first time running Eclipse on a mac. For some reason, when I launch an app in the emulator, while the console tells me that it successfully started the app, I can't see an emulator window anywhere. I know its running bc when I tried again, console told me "Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front."
How do I find the emulator?!
Did you try cycling through open applications with command-tab or clicking on the application icon in the dock? Running applications will have a bright dot under them.
Ok, I'm using MotoDev Studio. Apparently I had to click the little cell phone icon in the bottom right to bring up the emulator.
Thanks all!
