Since I upgraded my Android Studio installation to Bumblebee, the emulator has become unusable. It either crashes during startup or gets itself stuck so that the UI is unresponsive and the debugger either cannot install or cannot launch an app. The way in which it fails varies from time to time for no reason that I can understand. although different virtual devices seem to behave differently. I tried deleting my old virtual devices and creating new ones, but that didn't help.
I can't debug my code on a real phone because of a different problem, see my recent answer to Source code does not match the bytecode for Android's View.java.
When it crashes I send a crash report to Google, but they don't seem to be fixing it. The problems started with the first official Bumblebee release 2021.1.1, which seemed to have a complete new version of the emulator, and I'm now on the latest stable version 2021.1.1 Patch 2.
My environment is a Dell Precision M4800 with 16GB of RAM and an 8-core Intel processor, using an external 4K monitor and an external full-size keyboard, running Linux openSUSE Leap 15.3 with all recommended patches installed.
Does anyone have any suggestion short of throwing away my entire Android Studio installation and reverting back to Arctic Fox? Has anyone else seen similar problems?
Tintin's answer didn't work for me: Device Frame wasn't enabled anyway because I had noticed that it had caused problems before.
However the following sequence rather surprisingly, at least to me, did fix the problem.
First make sure that the toolbar is visible at the top of the emulator window: if it isn't, click on the gear settings icon at the top right of the emulator window and enable Show Toolbar.
Start up an emulated virtual device, and before it crashes click on the three dots at the right hand end of the toolbar: this will bring up the extended controls window.
Choose Settings from the list at the left of the extended controls list.
Set the OpenGL ES renderer to Desktop native OpenGL, and the OpenGL ES API to Compatibility (OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0).
Close the extended controls window and then close the Android Emulator window.
Check if there are any zombie emulator or qemu processes still running. If there are, kill them: you'll need kill -9 on Linux.
Try to cold boot an emulated virtual device: it will probably crash before it even gets started up properly.
Close the Android Emulator window and repeat step 6
Try to cold boot an emulated virtual device again, but click on the three dots quickly before it crashes.
When the extended controls list comes up, choose Settings from the list at the left.
Set the OpenGL ES renderer back to SwiftShader, and the OpenGL ES API back to Renderer maximum (up to OpenGL ES 3.1).
Repeat steps 5 and 6.
Now try to boot up an emulated virtual device again. It should work: at least it does for me.
If it doesn't work on your configuration, try all possible combinations of the OpenGL ES settings: you may find one that works.
Logically, changing the OpenGL ES settings and then changing them back again shouldn't do anything, but it does. My guess is that perhaps some needed bit of initialisation for the OpenGL isn't being done by the installer, but it gets done when you change the configuration.
I also faced this problem in both updates in 2021.1.1 it was not working at all. Updated to patch 2 again faced problems turned off Enabled Device Frame it is working OK now
I decided to try Android Studio 2.0 having used Eclipse in the past but I'm having considerable difficulty getting the AVD to load correctly. I've done quite a bit of googling and research into the problem, both here on SO and Google.So far nothing has worked.
The emulator simply hangs on the android load-up screen ever time I try to run it. I've seen it advised to use Genymotion but I would first prefer to resolve the issue natively in Android Studio to feel confident going forward using the IDE for building projects.
Here's what I've tried:
Complete reinstall of Android, SDK and SDK Tools
Install and configure of Intel x86 accelerator
Lowered the RAM amount to 512 in AVD settings
Multiple attempts at deleting and recreating AVD's
Tried creating different AVD phone models(Nexus One,Nexus 5x etc.)
Resetting ADB in AVD Monitor Tool
Starting ADB server from terminal
Restarting Android Studio multiple times after changes
Running SDK/SDK Tools updates several times
Made sure the SDK path is correct
These are the majority of the "solutions" I found either on other similar SO questions or by googling none of which has resolved the problem.
When I run the emulator currently it displays the following in the run window:
/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd Nexus_5X_API_23
Warning: requested ram_size 1024M too big, reduced to 512M
emulator: WARNING: Increasing RAM size to 1024MB
emulator: WARNING: VM heap size set below hardware specified minimum of 228MB
emulator: WARNING: Setting VM heap size to 256MB
Hax is enabled
Hax ram_size 0x20000000
HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode.
console on port 5554, ADB on port 5555
The emulator shows up fine in the Android AVD Monitor devices pane and even appears to go through the entire booting process on the emulator screen itself but never gets to the Android home screen.
Also, Logcat seems to be looping continuously through dozens of errors and warnings, which don't offer any clear indication of what the issue might be or direction of how to resolve it.
I feel like I've exhausted every idea and not sure how to move forward.Just for the record, I am running El Capitan 10.9.2 with a 2.4gh Intel Core 2 Duo and 4gb ram.It's not the fastest machine for sure but should be capable of running Android Studio and the emulator.
Any help or guidance resolving this problem is gratefully appreciated!
For me this worked: in AVD(Tools->AVD) click on the small arrow for desired emulator then click on "Wipe data".
After that, it successfully started - passed the android logo screen - although a bit slowly.
You have two thing:
You should Increase your ADB emulator Heap to the minimum required.
in your case: 512M
into your AVD Manager:
Click Edit on your Emulator
"Show Advanced Settings" at the bottom
Go to: "Memory and Storage"
Edit the VM heap value to 512 MB
Finished

You can Wipe data to your Emulator. here is an exemple website
At one point my laptop hit a kernel panic and restarted while running an active AVD emulator session. When attempting to restart the emulator, the emulated device (Pixel 3) stayed stuck on the startup splash logo screen.
Fix steps:
Stop hung emulator session.
rm ~/.android/avd/name_of_emulated_device.avd/*.lock
rm ~/.android/avd/name_of_emulated_device.avd/*.qcow2
Restarting the emulated AVD should now be successful.
Windows equivalent for ~/.android should be C:\Users\.android, but I can't confirm this myself.
Note: You will likely lose any additionally installed apps and current work that was on the AVD.
Unfortunately, increasing the heap size didn't help in my case. The virtual device was actually running fine before with the previous amount of heap.
What I eventually ended up doing was just creating a new virtual device through the AVD manager leaving most of the fields the default value. The new device ran fine and booted up as expected and was able to run my app. It's possible something in my first virtual device became corrupted.
I had the same problem. I'm running El Capitan 10.11.5 with a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 8GB RAM, Android Studio 1.5.1.
After upgrading to Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer), rev 6.1.1 and deleting my API 14 SDK and related files, the newly installed API 23's Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image would not get past the Android logo screen.
After much trial & error, the Intel x86 Atom System Image (not Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image) for API 15 finally loaded the home screen on the emulator after ~ 8 min and one android system crash.
Will try the Intel x86 Atom System Image for API 23 later. Hope that helps.
I had the same problem and none of the steps listed here helped me, either.
But since the solution that worked for me was not mentioned here yet, I thought it might help you or one of the others finding this thread:
What did work for me was disabling certain settings in my Avast Antivirus as proposed by the Android studio troubleshooting page here.
My version of Avast did not have the setting "Use nested virtualization when available", however just turning off "Enable Hardware assisted virtualization" (note: restart is required for it to take effect) solved the problem just fine.
So if you are using Avast or another Antivirus which manipulates virtualization, be sure to look through the correspondent settings.
I had experienced same problem, What I did was, I clicked on the drop down in the actions column, then clicked on wipe Data, and that resolved it for me on ubuntu 20.04
I had this problem and running as admin fixed this (drove me crazy).
Hope this works for you too tried some many fixes.
What worked for me?
Create new project with same configs.
And start your old emulators in it.
What did not work?
Wiping data.
Increasing Heap size.
Creating new virtual device.
I also had the same problem with my AVD. After lots of trial and error I arrived at a solution for my problem. the problem was with the Heap size and the RAM size.
Initially the default heap size was 128 MB and RAM was 1563 , I just changed the heap size to 512 MB and reduced the RAM size( high RAM was making my pc run slow) also I enabled hardware acceleration. And Yipeee, it worked.
It's very easy to fix all you need to do is go in AVD Manager click on the small arrow on most right side of the screen beside the edit icon. Click that small arrow and select wipe data.
Now when you'll start your AVD it will restart and work properly.
I've been using Genymotion, but its been pretty laggy. I only had HAXM accelerator installed so I decided to mess with VM manager, but it only seems to have made it worse. Now it runs smoothly but upon opening any application, it will either wait a bit then tell me the application isn't responding, or just freeze all together and give me a "player.exe has stopped working" dialog box. My changed system settings are as follows:
1 processor,
1024MB for the motherboard,
128MB for video with 3D acceleration enabled.
All other configurations are set to default.
I have an intel i5-2450M 2.5GHz chip with virtualization enabled in the BIOS.
Before when I had only HAXM installed, it worked fine. Just lagged a lot.
Help would be much appreciated.
You are using Windows 10?
Try to reinstall genymotion deleting all geny folders from your computer, remove virtualbox too.
I am trying to load the Google Earth Plugin on Window 7 x64 guest operating system running under Oracle Virtual Box. I have tried to do this under the latest version of 3 different browsers (IE, Chrome, FF). The Plugin Window appears with the rotating GIF indicating GE is loading. It stop rotating and then (apparently) nothing..
However at that point GEPLUGIN goes to 100% CPU usage in task manager and starts consuming memory. After about 5 mins, memory gets up to around 200+K and then the GEPlugin reports "There was a problem with the Google Earth Plugin. Please Try reloading the page..
I have tried uninstall and re-installing multiple times under different browsers with no success. Outside of the VM this works perfectly, and I will swear it worked inside the VM about a year ago.
The VM is configured to allow 256M of Video memory, ^GB of System memory and enables 2D and 3d acceleration. If tried different combinations of 2D &3D enabled and disabled without luck..
Any ideas.
I still does not know why it not worked previously but now its is ok. It was about my enviroment.
Not worked on: host ubuntu 12.04 lts_x64, virtualizing (vbox 4.1) x64 windows 7
actually I made new machine and plugin works properly.
Works on: the same host ubuntu 12.04 lts_x64, virtualizing (vbox 4.3) x64 windows 8.1.
Firefox/chrome for both.
For a project I was given a virtualbox image to work on. I don't have virtualbox but opened it in VMware and it works great except that in full screen the vm stays small and in the middle. I tried changing the autosize to stretch but it turns out obviously distorted and hard to work with. How do i get the fullscreen to work properly?
You probably lack VMWare Tools. You can install it with VM > Install VMware Tools.
I had to change the display resolution within the OS, though I thought it should have done that automatically
