I have started a new emulator from 'launch new emulator' . But when I run another project later another emulator is getting loaded . Actually I wanted to use the same emulator itself.I there any option to reuse the same emulator and prevent new emulator being launched automatically.
Instead of Run use Run>Run Configurations>Target>Manual and manually select the AVD that is already launched.
I often have this problem when i both have the physical device( a real phone) plugged in the pc and an emulator. You can put the devices list near the console and logcat views, so you can select here the right device to use (install the app and show the logcat).
Go in window -> show view -> other -> devices.
From there you can select which device to use (if nothing is selected, a new emulator is run following the target option you set following Mangusto's answer)
You can select the emulator that you wish to make default from windows->android sdk manager->
edit the virtual device from that you can select skin you want. or set the dimension.
I think this can help you
Go to Run > Edit Configurations, choose your run configuration on the left side, check Use same device for future launches checkbox.

Android Studio 2.1.3 on Windows 10 64 bit.
I go to Tools->Android->AVD Manager.
It shows me an error "Android Virtual Device" failed to load - click Details to see the error.
When I click Details, it does not show any error.
When I click on Edit & try to turn of "Host GPU" & turn on "Snapshot" option, the OK button remains grayed out - so I cannot save the Snapshot Option.
The emulator itself runs fine - however, how do I turn on the Snapshot option.
Try going to your SDK manager and making sure everything is updated. Your options are slightly different and I believe it's because you are using an older version.
They now have the Emulator Accelerator. You can also select to run off of your hardware and choose the number of Cores from your CPU to assign to the virtual device.

I have several genymotion emulators for different API levels. The problem is this:
I run the app on a single emulator with the option 'same device for future launches' checked.
I open another emulator.
I run the the app again.
After this, the app only runs on the first emulator and I can't figure out how do I show the dialog (select target) again to run the app on both emulators.
Click Run → Edit Configurations...
Then uncheck Use same device for future launches
As mentioned by #B-GangsteR, you can also launch your app on multiple devices at the same time. To do this, select targets using ctrl key.
Note that even if "Use same device for future launches" is unchecked, you can't launch app on other device while it is still running on first device. So you've got to
terminate app on first device before running on another device,
or kill adb process (it will restart),
or run your app on multiple devices at the same time from the start (when choosing target, select multiple targets using 'ctrl' button or 'ctrl' + A)
In Android Studio 3.5 or above, the "Deployment Target" part of the configurations dialog has moved into the main toolbar.
Click Edit config beside run app.
Close the existing running app in all emulators to have this option even if the problem persist after doing configuration changes
You can change profiles by going to "Run" -> "Run..." -> "1.app" (click on the arrow) -> "Profile", then choosing which device (virtual or physical) you'd like to run on. This took me a while to find and I couldn't find anything like it in the answers above, so hopefully, I help someone out.
You can hold ctrl to select multiple devices (mentioned by #B-GangsteR).
In Android Studio 3.5, need to click on the Emulator name which is the left option of Run 'app' button.
You can select specific Emulator of your choice or multiple Emulator as well.
When I'm going to run my application a new emulator starts, despite that I already have an emulator opened! Since the time to load and launch the emulator is so long, isn't there a way to run an application in a emulator that is already opened? Thanks!
You can set the property of ur app as manual rather than automatic to run an application..
Just right click on the app, then Run->RunConfiguration->Target->Manual
So by doing this, whenever you run ur application,it first ask you at which emulator,you want ur application to run..
Thanks..
please right click on project from eclipse and then select "Run As >> Run Configuration "
this will appear one dialog from this dialog select "Target tab" then click on "Manually" option button.
after then click on run button this will ask every time to select emulator to run project
enjoy ..
To choose the target each time (this is annoying usually)
Go to the Run configurations of the project:
Go to the Target tab and choose manual
To make running a new AVD faster:
Go to AVD manager
Edit the AVD you want to make faster
check Enabled for Snapshot
I am running a performance test for my android application, want to know whether it is possible to run multiple emulators at once in Eclipse?
If yes, how do i go about doing it?
Create multiple emulators
Change android project run configuration, target as manual selection instead of auto.
Right click on android project -> Run As -> Run Configuration.
On Run configuration window select the project under Android application [at right panel]
Then select Target tab at left panel, and select manual option. that all..
Now whenever you run that selected project, the eclipse will pop up the window with list of running emulators and devices..
To run more than one emulator
1. Open AVD manager
2. select emulator
3. click on start -> launch
You can run multiple emulators by just calling run again, then in the panel "Android Device Chooser" you can choose another Android Virtual Device. To add new Android Virtual Devices to your Android virtual device manager, just click the device manager button on the bar at the top of eclipse, then in the next screen click new and create a new virtual device. The virtual devices go kind of slowly if there are many of them, but you can use multiple emulators this way.
Open AVD Manager. Create multiple AVD/emulator and run them.

Most of the idea is in the title, I just would like to know if it is possible to start 2 emulators at the same time with 2 different locale (to test the I18n of my app). If there was a way of doing it in Eclipse, that would be greater...
Something like
If you click the Button for starting the emulator in Eclipse (the litlle mobile phone) Eclipse should open a dialog that lets you choose which android virtual device (AVD) you want to start. You can create a second AVD in this dialog and then start them both after each other.
Now you have to change the locale of one of the emulators to the wanted language. The emulator should save this settings so you have to configure this only once.
In Eclipse, this is easy to do. Use the Android Virtual Device (AVD) manager to set up as many emulators as you want. Depending on whether you've updated to the latest version of the Eclipse plug-in, the button to launch the AVD manager will either be a black phone or the Android Robot's head above a black square with an arrow in it. Either way it's in the toolbar near the shortcuts for Save, Print, etc.
In the AVD you can create various emulators with different Android versions (download other SDKs in the 'Available Packages' menu in the left). Once you've created the emulators, start them with the button on the right. You can have multiple emulators running at the same time if you want. The emulators have a program installed on them already called 'Custom Locale' that lets you change their location information. You can't do this while creating the emulators, but it's saved when you do in the emulator so you don't need to do it every time.
After that, to choose which emulator your program will run on, change its run configuration Target to manual. This is done by clicking on the more options arrow next to the green 'Start Program' button, selecting Run Configurations, the Target tab, then selecting manual. You can also do this by right clicking on your project in the project browser (list on the left), and the option is under 'Run As' -> Run Configurations.
To connect adb to a particular emulator or device, use one of the options "-e", "-d" or "-s " as documented for the ADB tool.

In general the documentation is a great place to start.
