Android emulator supporting ARMv8 - emulation

I need to create an Android virtual device supporting ARMv8 system image on aarch32 and aarch64 both. Does Android Studio emulator support ARMv8 system image in its AVD manager? Or is there any other emulator available? Can you provide the steps for me? Thanks!

Android Studio getting problem in running AVD(Android Virtual Device)

I have Installed Android Studio in My Laptop. The configuration of my system is 4GB
RAM ad core i3 processor.
After installing the Android Studio as I have install Android Pie and try to run Android Virtual Device it gives me an Error. I have attached screenshot of it with this message please help me to resolve this problem
Screenshot of the Error:
try to go Android Virtual Device Manager> create virtual device> choose a device> choose system image> then in emulated performance choose GLES 2.0.
Note: that it depends if this will work on your android studio. just try it.

Android Studio Emulator error "Emulator: CPU acceleration status: Unable to open HAXM device: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND"

I was able to use Emulator in the android studio without any problems. Since today I am getting the error as:
"Emulator: CPU acceleration status: Unable to open HAXM device: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND".
Virtualization is enabled in BIOS, Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager is installed in control panel - programs.
Also tried installing intelhaxm-android.exe from android sdk folder.
Please help with the error.
(i7/16gb/windows 10).
I solved that problem following steps
disabling Hyper-v
reinstalling HAXM
- Android studio -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools -> Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator
Use Hyper-V instead of HAXM
I had the same error. Disabling Hyper-V avoided this error however it also stopped Docker from working properly.
To use both the Android Emulator and Docker on Windows 10 you need to:
Uninstall the Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM)
Enable Hyper-V (check by running "Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All -Online" in PowerShell running as Administrator)
Enable Windows Hypervisor Platform
Restart your computer
Enable Virtualization Technology in your computer's BIOS
Enable Hardware Enforced Data Execution Prevention in the BIOS
Enable Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platform in Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off
Enable Windows Hypervisor
Microsoft recommends that you use Hyper-V instead of HAXM to accelerate the Android emulator (detailed instructions).
I had the same issue, and solved it by disabling the Hyper-V hypervisor on Windows (from the "Activate/Deactivate Windows Functionalities" menu).
1st you uninstall the hexm everywhere also in android studio :
Download haxm version haxm-macosx_v7_0_0.zip from here Click Me
And Follow this steps : Haxm error in android studio 3.0 with windows requires a digitally signed driver
You can disable hyper-v or you can visit here
You can't run a VM-accelerated emulator inside another VM, such as a VM hosted by VirtualBox, VMWare, or Docker. You must run the Android emulator directly on your system hardware
For me Hyper-V hypervisor was not installed but still I got the error. What I did was I went to SDK Manager->SDK Tools and there I unchecked Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator clicked apply. Closed my Android studio and then reopened Android studio and again went to SDK Manager->SDK Tools and installed Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator by checking the item and clicking apply. And it started working fine.
I had the same problem, but I need Hyper-V for Docker.
So according to the official documentation, you have 3 choices (the second solution helped me):
You have an Intel processor and do not need to run Hyper-V at the same time as the Android Emulator.
Use Intel HAXM.
You have an Intel processor and do need to run Hyper-V at the same time as the Android Emulator.
Use WHPX.
You have an AMD processor.
Use WHPX.

Is Intel HAXM necessary to run Android Studio?

When I try to run Android Studio, I get an error that Intel HAXML is not installed.
I have an AMD A4-3330MX processor. Is Intel HAXML necessary to work with Android Studio? If so, can I use it on an AMD processor?
Intel haxm is used for emulator acceleration. If you are on windows and you have an AMD CPU you won't be able to use it. With linux you can use kvm. Refer yourself to this documentation for more informations.

I have AMD processor.when i run app in android studio it shows:

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!
after looking through some forum found suggestion about genymotion. but i want to use android studio emulator on AMD processor. appreciate if anyone would like to help.
Ensure that you have installed Intel X 86 Emulator accelarator(Haxm Installer for Intel processors) or ARM system image(AMD).
Then go to the [SDK Folder path]\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run intelhaxm-android.exe.
If you get an error Virtualization technology is not enabled, enable Hardware Virtualization in BIOS setting:http://www.sysprobs.com/disable-enable-virtualization-technology-bios.
For AMD processors to use genymotion you need to have AMD-v enabled CPU.
Using Genymotion would be a better option
If you have an AMD processor, you can download the Genymotion emulator, which supports AMD-V technology.
You need to have AMD-v enabled
First, open the Android SDK Manager: Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager, then chose any package you want to download, expand it and select ARM EABI v7a System or ARM 64 v8a System Images and install.
Then, open Android AVD Manager: Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager and create an emulator.
You should restart Android Studio for be shure it works

Is it possible to use the virtual device of Bluestacks or AVD of Android Studio in Geny Motion?

I develop android apps in my Windows 8 system with the help of Android Studio. Currently I test the apps using either Bluestacks or the android virtual device that is available in Android Studio. The AVD has virtual devices including Android 2.2, 2.3.3, 3.2, 4.0, 4.0.3, 4.1.2, and 4.4. Also Bluestacks runs on Android 4.1.2.
Recently I heard that Geny Motion is the fastest Android emulator. So I downloaded its newest version and installed it(also Virtual Box is installed). When I opened Geny Motion it said to add a virtual device. So I selected one device from the list and moved to next page. There it starts to download(a file of 147 MB). I can't download such a large file since my internet connection is too slow. Then I thought of using any of the virtual devices of either Bluestacks or Android Studio in Geny Motion. But I don't know whether its possible or not.
Can I use any of the virtual device of Bluestacks or Android Studio in Geny Motion ? If possible, how ?
Genymotion virtual devices are x86 virtual machines (VM) that run using VirtualBox. The Genymotion launcher is just a wrapper around VirtualBox that also simulates various things about an actual device like GPS, tilting, etc.
Bluestacks and the ARM devices you see under AVD are not virtual machines. They are emulators that translate ARM instructions to x86 and that is why they are slower. Note that an x86 AVD will be slightly better in terms of speed.
So the bottom line is that you cannot do what you are asking because AVDs and Bluestacks are fundamentally different technologies than Genymotion's VMs.
Maybe you could find a hotspot somewhere to download a few Genymotion virtual devices?
