The emulator in my android studio keeps showing "shutting down". I try closing it and run again, restarting my mac, but nothing worked, each time I run it, it shows "shutting down" again. even though I can see actions running below (very blur)
Click on Tools
Click on AVD Manager
Click on the dropdown arrow next to the AVD which is stuck
Click on cold boot now
This issue occurs when we forcibly exit an unresponsive/stuck AVD. AVD manager saves the state before it is forcibly exited and on the next start it continues from the unresponsive/stuck state. This is useful when we need the AVD to boot up quickly, however if you want to disable this feature entirely then follow the steps below:
In the AVD manager, click on the pencil icon
A new window will pop up. Click on show advanced settings
Scroll down to the emulated performance section
Next to boot option, select cold boot
open AVD Manager Dialog from top right corner
go to your emulator
click on the last icon on the right which is a drop down button
Click wipe data
Important Note: this will delete all data on that emulator and give it a fresh install again and might solve your problem
If that didn't work then check that you have enough rams to run both the emulator and the android studio.
I run my emulator with cold boot by command line
cd C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator
emulator -list-avds
emulator -avd <your_adb_name> -no-snapshot-load
If the cold boot or wipe data does not work, you can try deleting the lock file. Then quit the emulator, and restart it.
In my case, AVD Manager prompted me to delete the following files, I did it, and the problem was solved.
If it shows "AVD *** is already running etc." then just connect any mobile device that after enabling debugging mode and run your app in a physical device instead of an emulator then
Click on Tools
Click on AVD Manager
Click on the dropdown arrow next to the AVD which is stuck
Click on cold boot now
First of all:
You have to close the window, or tab of your Virtual Appliance.
With this you get Android Studio to standby the Device and unlock the ADV (Android Virtual Device) files, so you can manipulate the virtualization.
Maybe you have to wait until Android Studio kill the process. If Android doesn't do this automatic, you will have to close Android Studio and delete C:\Users{YOUR_USER}.android\avd{YOUR_DEVICE_NAME}.avd and within this folder delete all files and folders with extension .lock to stay secure before start again Android Studio.
After that:
Just open the Device Manager, and click on the down arrow in the Actions section for your device, and select Cold Boot Now. This reload the Virtual Device without start or open any program.
Finally:
If Cold Boot Now worked fine, now you can run or debug your application to check that it functions perfectly. Without the device continuing with the problem that the system is still stuck/frozen.
And also you do not need to do a Wipe Data, so you do not delete the data of your application, since you can have any internal database in SQLite, which has the changes and advances that you have been implementing or creating during the development of your application for its operation.
I have been unable to create a virtual device in using the AVD Manager in Android studio. I am using MacOS Catalina 10.15.3, everything is updated, and I recently completely uninstalled and then reinstalled Android Studio.
Regardless of which device I select, when I click the "Next" button on the on the Select Hardware Screen, Android Studio crashes without creating the device.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Here's what I do:
I open the AVD Manager
I click "Create Virtual Device"
I select any device and click the "Next" button
Android Studio and Android Virtual Device Manager crash immediately
Thanks in advance for any help!
I am not sure why this is but when I open up my project in Android Studio 2.1.2 and try to click the AVD manager to install and create an emulator, I can't click the AVD icon.
It turns out I needed
Intel X86 Atom System Image
and Google APIs, for the AVD button to be clickable.
I just opened up Android Studio for the first time. I added a few buttons and text fields. I then opened up my AVD Manager and hit run on the Nexus 5 that comes pre installed. It says starting AVD and then after that finishes, the AVD pops up in the bottom task bar but no new window pops up showing my virtual device like it did in the tutorial. Not sure what i'm doing wrong.
I have installed the latest release of android studio(Android Studio 1.0 RC 1). I have also updated the latest SDK. I am trying to create a nexus 6 emulator in android studio. After I click finish in the wizard nothing is happening. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
