Does anyone know how to run the emulator within eclipse without using ADT. All I want to do is run the emulator with -partition-size option of the emulator and you cant do this by default. Im sure there might be a tricky way of doing this but googling doesn't give me any clues. does any one know ?
I also thought about running the emulator as part of a script and call the script within eclipse.
running on a mac bdw.
ahh found it.
Eclipse has "Additional Emulator Command Line Options" in Run configuration under the tab "Target".
This seems to be hidden on my eclipse which might be an eclipse bug. should've been a scrollbar or something.
anyways you can add any emulator options there which seems work well.

I just downloaded Android Studio and the simulator for some reason is zoomed in very far or has enormous text. I've tried everything on the right-hand bar to handle this and there are no menu bar options. How can I resolve this?
I was experiencing the same exact problem at first. After I had opened my project in Android Studio, the IDE installed a bunch of other libraries and tools; in turn priming the environment. To note, this was all after a fresh install of Android Studio. After the supplemental install, I then started the emulator from the AVD Manager from within the IDE. Afterwards, whenever I ran the emulator again I had experienced zero issues like this. I understand some of this sounds anecdotal but it seems that the Android Studio IDE helped sort this out for me at least.
I would also like to note that, if you experienced any warnings or errors when executing the simulator, it may also be an issue originating from the emulator's environment itself. Possibly tweaking some of the settings on the emulator could also help (i.e., memory/storage capacity).
I have some trouble about android studio. if anybody know this program, please read description of my problem.
I created empty activity project android 5.0(lolipop) and just click run by emulator. I already tried different kind of devices, but the error is the same. My friends have no problem like that.
please tell me what to do.screenshot of emulator error message and photo of log error
updated event log after trying reinstall emulator devices
Do you have Bandicam installed like it's suggesting? It's complaining about your Vulkan drivers ( you could update those) and Bandicam messing with them (you could uninstall that).
Alternatively you can open your AVD Manager, edit the AVD you're using, and set Emulated Performance: Graphics to Software (can't do it on every image for some reason - my API 29 Pixel 3 image won't let me change it, my API 30 Pixel 3XL image will). It'll run worse, but it'll run (well it should anyway)
If you use the flatpak of android studio on linux, run "flatpak update" and that should resolve your issues.
If you don't use the flatpak on linux, try restarting your machine and if that doesn't work, do a clean reinstall of your graphics driver.
Don't know why people keep trying to recommend software rendering, it's horrible and not at all practical, it's a barely working workaround not a solution.
I have created a VM Ubuntu 14.04 using Vmware Player, and I've installed the ADT environment for Android Development.
I have created a new Android emulator using the shortcuts present in Eclipse; when I tried to start emulator I got the following known error:
Starting emulator for AVD 'AVD_for_Nexus_5_by_Google'
ERROR: 32-bit Linux Android emulator binaries are DEPRECATED, to use them
you will have to do at least one of the following:
- Use the '-force-32bit' option when invoking 'emulator'.
- Set ANDROID_EMULATOR_FORCE_32BIT to 'true' in your environment.
Either one will allow you to use the 32-bit binaries, but please be
aware that these will disappear in a future Android SDK release.
Consider moving to a 64-bit Linux system before that happens.
I fixed it in both ways: putting a variable in my .bashrc:
export ANDROID_EMULATOR_FORCE_32BIT=true
and also setting the emulator option in the Eclipse preference dialog:
Nevertheless, every time I try to start the emulator I got always the same error.
The wierd thing is that if I try to start the emulator from a bash window, it starts normally.
This could have been a boring workaround, but I would have been happy anyway. The problem is that when I try to deploy an application from Eclipse, the emulator started in this way is shown as "Offline" and I cannot run any application on it. Possibly I can upload the apk into the emulator from the command line, but debugging the app would become a bit harder.
Has anyone got the same problem or does know how to fix it?
I found out a partial solution for connecting eclipse to the running emulator started by command line: the emulator MUST be started with no snapshots.
Indeed, if I start the emulator without snaspshots, it become "online" in DDMS, and I can finally use it.
Although this could be a bit annoying, because starting the emulator from scratch every time it takes a long time, at least I have a way to use it.
On the other hand, I don't know exactly the reason of this behavior, if someone has an answer it will be appreciated.
Moreover, I still do not have idea why I'm not able to start the emulator from Eclipse.
I am having a problem in running my app in Emulator. There are no errors or warnings in the code, its running perfect in device, but when it comes to emulator, it always crashes and the error message would be like this
[2012-01-16 16:13:55 - MyApp] Failed to install MyApp.apk on device 'emulator-5554!
[2012-01-16 16:13:55 - MyApp] (null)
[2012-01-16 16:13:55 - MyApp] Launch canceled!
I have tried the following things:
Run configurations > Target > Wipe user data > Run
Uninstalling the app and run it again
Restarting the emulator
adb kill-server && adb start-server
Creating a new Emulator and running the app in it
Restarting ADB
Restarting Eclipse
Starting the Eclipse after the emulator is launched completely
Increasing the ADB connection time-out to 1000
Restarting the System
Deleted the emulators and created new emulators and run in it after they are completely loaded
I don't know what else should I do. Sometimes if I run in a new Emulator the app runs for the first time and if I run it again after sometime, its the same crash report. I am not able to understand what is the problem.
Can anyone please suggest me what should I do now and where is the problem?
The Emulator used to work well before. This problem started a few days back.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks All.
Have you defined all of your Activities correctly and completely in AndroidManifest.xml?
Can you paste the definition of your AndroidManifest.xml here?
Try that.
More possibilities:
Real refresh of AVD. It is funny, but Eclipse remembers your emulator. And if you turn it off and on it will be the same old good (or bad) one. You could reinstall all Eclipse for a real refresh. Or use a shorter, but tricky way. Change the max VM app heap size of the emulator. (Android SDK and AVD manager - Virtual device - Edit) Create it. Now you have a brand new emulator. Funny, isn't it? Now you can change the heap size back, if you wish.
Really, I think, you can maybe change any emulator parameter for the effect. Only I stumbled upon it by heap size and stuck to do it this way.
Try to repair the path.
Set the path environment variable with the path of "platform-tools" and "tools" found in the "sdk-home".
On windows(vista):- 1.Go to "Control Panel\System". 2.Select "Advanced System Settings". 3.Select the "Environment variable". 4.Set the path environment variable under the system variable with values "SDKHOME\platform-tools;SDKHOME\tools". Where "SDKHOME" is the home folder of Android sdk.
Check,if APK version of the application sits with that of the
emulator.
Try to set a longer waiting time for launch.
Increase AVD heap and SD card
Maybe, it would be good to try to recall all the changes that were done before the problem appeared?
Oh! One more: Don't you have by accident simultaneously launched emulator and connected device? If you have the same application (ssame name) on both, they could conflict in a similar way! They simply won't let each other to be launched
If nothing helps:
I was already so tired of Eclipse errors, that I have installed the IntelliJ Idea IDE, too. Now, if for the same project applications behave idself differently on both IDES, the problem is in IDE setting or emulator. If the problem is the same on both, I look for a bug in my application or the external device. Once I had a problem in OS - had to restart Linux. But in your case it is the most probable, that the problem is in AVD. I am afraid, the only variant you haven't try yet is to reinstall Eclipse. Uninstall, remove everything from the application except code, layouts and Manifest, and install Eclipse anew. Or make other Eclipse installation, with its own workshop. You can try the last version. But if the problem is in some setting, you can set it again...
Sorry, I have put here all methods I used or found.
here you can find a similar problem and the proposed accepted solution:
Honeycomb preview - can not install my app on emulator under Eclipse
I hope this helps.
This could be due to Antivirus/Firewall software installed on your PC. Have you tried to disable it?
You should also ensure that versions of Eclipse, ADT and Android SDK are up-to-date and compatible. Have you tried to contact update sites in Eclipse and in Android SDK manager? By the way, what versions of the that software do you use?
Let's go step by step.....
1º- You should try to start the emulator without the application installed.
2º- Once it is running correctly, try to install another .apk(like for example one default one....)
3º- Now, try to run the .apk. If the problem continues, try to delete the current VM and install another new one.
Can you see Emulator in "adb devices"? If yes, can you install any .apk?
If not - you have propablly something wrong with sdk
As some people have answered already partly. Make sure of a couple things which are very important specially because of the latest Android tools releases which requires.
The latest eclipse version. Yes, very very important:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-371/indigosr1
Make sure you update the Android ADT plugin for eclipse:

I've encountered similar issue and that was what has helped. Restart your computer too possible?...
Use command prompt to start emulator
emulator.exe -avd google2.2 -scale 0.7 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
it may help you.
try cleaning your project or deleting the .APK file in the bin directory of your project.
When i am running my application. i am getting this problem "emulator.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience." How to handle this type error at the same time my logcat file showing empty. is any emulator installation problem? How to handle this can anybody help me.
thanks.
go to command prompt>> and cd path where your android install
cd d:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
run command
d:>adb kill-server
d:>adb start-server
Have you gone through these instructions
Try Minimum API level=8 (that would be Android 2.2.)
Failing that. Note the Eclipse and JVM versions in the system requirements. I would stick with Eclipse "Classic" (3.5) if you're just trying to get your feet wet. Ensure that your JVM version is compatible.
I got a similar problem with a Xoom emulator. Not sure what caused it, but removing the AVD and recreating it solved the problem for me.
Go to "Window" - > "Show View" - > "Devices"
After this you will be able to view devices in the bottom of your eclipse. Choose View Menu option and reset your adb. That's help you.
