Brand new to app development and am having a bit of trouble activating an Android Virtual Device (AVD) for Android Studio (Windows 10). I am trying to install HAXM but receive the attached message.
Upon going into my /installed programs/ directory to uninstall Microsoft Hyper-V, the program is not listed. Would the Hyper-V program be listed under another name, or rather, could anyone please provide feedback as to resolving this message? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
For AMD system, you can use Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) under Windows 10 since Version 1803:
To enable Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) do the following steps:
From the Windows desktop, right-click the Windows icon and select Apps and features.
Under Related settings, click Programs and Features.
Click Turns Windows Features on or off.
Select Windows Hypervisor Platform
click ok and reboot.
Now create a new Android Virtual Device (AVD).
Yes the same was here too,
Ok there are 2 ways of solving this ,
First you can go to BIOS and disable the Hyper V and enable the VT x for intel. If you had not the VTx or with disabling Hyper v nothing has solved then come to Second solution.
The second is there is not a solution available for you and your computer just like me. Your cpu and computer cant install HAXM which mean you cant install and run emulator , but hang on, google has added new property to emulators to run without HAXM and you need to install those package of SDK api which has Amd virtualization or non HAXM, also even this one has not helped me, so if you were like me then you can use physical device for testing or installing linux instead of windows and use Hyper v to run emulator in android studio instead of HAXM, and i prefer Lubuntu cause of speed it will gives you if you wantes to install.

I initially tried to install haxm though android studio. Not working.
I downloaded the installer for haxm though intel. Not working because: VT-x is not supported by this computer or it is being exclusively used by Hyper-V.
But vt is supported and it's not used by hyper-v.
I checked windows feautures and all hyper-v options/suboptions are off. I checked windows defender -> core isolation -> memory integrity and it's off. I have no other antivirus software that could possible block hyper-v, I have only windows defender.
I tried turning off, in case it's on, with command line and then rebooted and tried installing again.
I checked the bios/uefi and vt is enabled, mts (multithreading) is enabled.
I checked windows services and there was no service, relative to hyper-v, running.
I don't believe that there might be another software running in the same time which causes this problem (like amd driver (andrenaline), asrock rgb, or I don't know what).
Any idea?

(I am not sure if this post fits here but I have seen a couple of posts regarding installation problems of HAXM. I read them. Still, they're not helpful for my problem as it seems)
Do check the following things
go to BIOS of your system, if your system (laptop/desktop) have intel processor then enable the VT-X (virtualization technology).
if your laptop/desktop have AMD processor then enable HYPER-V form your BIOS.
This will fix your problem for sure. If not then try to update your BIOS.
Fixed it having the following settings:
Under advanced/cpu settings:
SVM enabled. MTS enabled.
Under advanced/northbridge:
SR-IOV enabled.
On windows:
Hyper-V off. Windows Hypervisor on.
On windows defender:
Core Isolation -> Memory Integrity: off
On android studio:
Settings/System Settings/Android SDK:
Android Emulator On
Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors On
(Check running services for related tasks. Check 3rd party software)
Reboot.
Don't try to install Intel x86 Emulator Accelator(HAXM) with AMD. There is no way to do it with AMD.
I'm using Android Studio on windows 10 currently. However, as I try to install HAXM via android studio, there is an error which always pops up "This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) or it is being exclusively used by Hyper-V. HAXM cannot be installed".
The weird thing is that when I checked my installed programs, HAXM is already installed by default. I have no idea why I am not able to upgrade. I'm using a decent gaming laptop with an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor.
Things I have tried :
I have already went into my bios and made sure all virtualization options were enabled and went to "Windows Features"and unchecked Windows Hyper-visor Platform but to no avail as the problem still persists
I recently had the same issue, and even though Intel virtualization was enabled in the BIOS and my Windows 10 doesn't have the Hyper-V option because it's the home edition, I wasn't able to use Android Studio emulators/virtual machines or upgrade/reinstall Intel HAXM. I then found out that an enabled feature on Windows Defender was the cause of the problem. Try the following steps (sorry, my device is in portuguese so the options might have another naming other than the direct translation to english):
In Windows Defender, go to Device Security (The one with a laptop icon).
Choose Kernel Isolation Details (first option).
And disable the Memory Integrity option if it isn't disabled already (in case it is, I'm sorry but this solution won't help you out).
If you have to change the option to disabled, restart your computer and try upgrading HAXM via Android Studio again.
I hope this helps. :)
In my case, after disabling Hyper-V in Windows Features I had to turn the antivirus (Kaspersky) off to install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM) 7.5.6 on Windows 10 Pro (1909).
IF u have AMD CPU you have to install Driver for AMD processor Check img
I have an Asus ROG Laptop.
at the boot setup, I see the option for virtualization
In the system, Hyper-v is disabled, by unchecking the features and running dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V at PowerShell.
but yet I get the installation Error
And also I should mention that Intel Processor Identification Utility App is showing
I still can't comment, but do you have avast or other antivirus software, sometimes it interferes with hyper v.
Otherwise, you could disable and reenable vtx again.
you have to enable VT-x (virtualization technology) and enable feature XD (Disable Execution Bit) in the UEFI/BIOS... then it should be possible to install HAXM and use it. one can get there, by pressing DEL or F2 before the boot beep (the key may vary, depending on the mainboard vendor).
I've just seen the screenshot; enabling CPU feature XD should solve the issue.
Intel HAXM requires the Android SDK to be installed (version 17 or higher). For more information, refer to the Android developer website (https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html).
After installing android-studio-bundle-141.2456560-windows.exe in Windows 7 32 bit ultimate (6.1 build 7600)

Note that I don't have Virtualization option in my BIOS setup if we consider that some advanced SoC will internally takes care about this virtualization
!!!But still android emulator is throwing the error
According to Intel's website, the Core 2 Duo E7200 does not support VT-x

Unfortunately you cannot run HAXM without vt-x. This means either you'll have to try a different emulation method or use a real android device. Using a real android device will always give you the best results, so I recommend going that route.
if you have not installed intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) then you need to install it from tools -> SDK Manager there you will find this HAXM installer
if it has been already installed then also the same issue is arising then go to the folder where SDK is stored for me it is
D:\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
and then run silent_install with administrator permission
and you are ready to go..!!!
First, uninstall your "intelhaxm-android.exe".
go to the BIOS and enable "Intel(R) Virtuallzation Technology".
again install "intelhaxm-android.exe".
create a new Virtual device and run.
I'm running Android Studio on a Ubuntu VMWare virtual machine. The problem is that when I try to run an app with the AVD emulator I get the following errors in the console:
/home/verite/Android/Sdk/tools/emulator -avd Nexus_5_API_22_x86 -netspeed full -netdelay none
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure KVM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: KVM is not installed on this machine (/dev/kvm is missing).
I've tried to solve the problem by doing this:
sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils
sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd
sudo adduser `id -un` kvm
and restarting, but it doesn't work. When I issue the command:
sudo kvm-ok
I get
INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
KVM acceleration can NOT be used
Could someone tell me how to fix the problem, please?
Thanks
I faced the same problem. I searched and I found the solution it works with me now:
In VMware:
Open Virtual machine setting.
Go to the processor.
Check the virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-RVI option.
Click ok and run the Virtual machine, it should work fine with you.
Hope that works with you.
This link HW virtualization in VMware (KVM - Android Studio) helped me to find the solution.
Bad news found in the Using the Emulator section of the official Android developer website:
Not Inside a VM - You cannot run a VM-accelerated emulator inside
another virtual machine, such as a VirtualBox or VMWare-hosted virtual
machine. You must run the emulator directly on your system hardware.
So it seems my best alternative is look for a real device compatible with the Android Studio for running the apps.
You have vCenter and vSphere Web client use this to edit the VMs config Right click the Your_Windows_GuestOs > Edit Settings > CPU > Check the box "Expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS
.
Install Android on a Cloud Virtual machine (AWS windows server)
Since my machine was slow with Android Studio I created a virtual machine on windows server on AWS with the best processor and RAM configurations, which gave me seamless programming and execution experience. But to use the emulator I face the error listed below.
Error:
Unable to install Intel HAXM
HAXM doesn't support nested virtual machines.
Unfortunately, the Android Emulator can't support virtual machine acceleration from within a virtual machine.
Here are some of your options:
1) Use a physical device for testing
2) Start the emulator on a non-virtualized operating system
3) Use an Android Virtual Device based on an ARM system image (This is 10x slower than hardware accelerated virtualization)
Since we can't connect our device to the Cloud machine, the option #3 is the best way to go.
Once the Android studio is installed,
Go to Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager
Click "Create Virtual Device"
Select which device you want to use from the list (i.e Nexus 5) and click "Next".
Here you're given a list of android release versions. Look at the ABI column.
Choose "Armeabi-v7a" for whichever API Level you want.
Hit "Next" and modify name/size, click "Finish" when done.
if 'Next' doesn't work, download the desired image and continue
I have android emulators running inside VMWare guest. It is utilizing Windows and not Linux, but the principles apply. As has been mentioned, the biggest item is ensuring the the VMWare processor setting for virtualization is checked.
Here are my specifics:
I'm running Win10 for both Host and Guest.
I have Android studio and android emulators running inside of a single VMWare guest which is being run using VMWare's player software.
Here are the versions:
Windows 10 64 bit both host and guest.
Windows 10 guest Ram 6 Gig
Android studio 3.3.2
AVD Emulator
VMWare Player 12, 12.5.1 build-4542065
VMware Number of Processors: 1
VMWare Setting for Processors: Virtualize Intel VT checked.
I faced this exact same error while running AVD in a cloud VM, adding a license solved it.
So, VMWare any cloud provider will not provide you the ability to create nested virtual machines. It is blocked by default so the Android studio would work but you would not be able to run an AVD, that’s not much useful.
To allow this you would then add the following license while VM creation-
https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/vm-options/global/licenses/enable-vmx
Note: This works only for GCP, you need to add different licenses for VMWare
This was just a short just of what you would do and the major steps involved, however, I highly recommend you to read this blog by me which provides a step by step guide to doing so.
I also urge you to check this answer by me where I explain this in greater detail for GCP.
