I am using Ubuntu 12.10 64bit and latest eclipse.
One minute after I launch the emulator, the memory usage keeps increasing all the way to 1000 MB. can anyone tell me why?
I limited the memory of emulator to 512mb, but didn't help.
Sounds like a memory leak, you should report it to the emulators buglist. Leaks happen when a resource is not closed or deleted during a process's run time.

I have 7 docker containers running, which in total take around 3gb of ram, according to docker stats
Im running docker with hyper-v in windows , im not using WSL / WSL-2 because the problem that im about to describe becomes even worse.
The problem is that hyper-v is demanding around 6.5-7gb ram instead of 3gb of ram
Why? If my containers barely take 3gb. In result because of the high ram usage, im always hovering 15gb of total ram usage on windows 10, when I only have 16gb ram. If something weird happens , like changing branches in the container or whatever in a fast pace, the container eventually runs out of the assigned 8gb of memory and starts swapping with my ssd, which makes my pc crash.
With WSL the problem is even worse, since its straight up starts swapping even if i assign it a memory limit of 8gb in .wslconfig , hyper-v is at least somehwoe usable
Im running a node server, a react app, and a couple of proxys/databases. Im developing on it with VSC.
Any idea on how to fix this absurd amount of ram usage?
when I start the emulator I get a message:
emulator: WARNING: Not all modern X86 virtualization features supported, which introduces problems with slowdown when running Android on multicore vCPUs. Setting AVD to run with 1 vCPU core only.
the server is quite productive, has 6 cores with 2 threads. Sufficient amount of RAM.
I installed everything necessary on the similarity of kvm and etc.
I use intel-atom-x86 os27api.
But this message still doesn't disappear. And this seems to have a strong impact on the performance of emulators.
And the load average in top rises above 12.0
the ci structure is constructed as follows:
gitlab-runner { docker { project, android-sdk+emulator } }
I understand that need to limit the use of only one core for one emulator.
Is there any way to solve this?
P.S. emulators run and work, but CI tests often crash. (everything is fine locally on the computer).
running 3 emulators
I was able to reduce the server load by specifying --device when creating the emulator.
I use — 5.4in FWVGA
for all 4 emulators. And after that, load Average I stable get a value of 4-6, instead of 12 as before.
The warning didn't disappear.
This is enough for me) but I also look forward to any suggestions for solving the problem.
I am trying to run two AVDs side by side. The thing is that whichever AVD I open second, runs MUCH slower than the first one. It's not CPU or RAM, there is enough overhead.
Any ideas?
I was also experiencing the same issue where the 2nd emulator was slow as molasses. I did some research on this and I think I have found a pretty decent solution. I am assuming that you have already installed Intel HAXM. If not, then please do so.
For best performances, it is advised that you allocate atleast half of the system RAM to Intel HAXM. This has been mentioned on the Intel HAXM page here under the Tips & Tricks section.
I allocated about 6 GB RAM to Intel HAXM and after that the performance of the 2nd emulator improved by a great deal. I would highly recommend you do the same. If you have already installed Intel HAXM, then please uninstall it and install it again with the amount of RAM as suggested on the above mentioned page.
Increase the memory that can be allocated to HAXM. When you install it you will notice a line in the final screen:
Note: The memory reservation setting can be changed by running this installer again.
Navigate to AndroidSDKDirectory/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
Run the installer (not the silent installer) and manually adjust the HAXM memory limit on this screen:
At the time of this writing a stock Pixel (XL) emulator uses 1536 MB memory by default. So if you want to have enough memory available to HAXM to run 2 of these emulators, allocating ~4096 MB (a third more than necessary) is a safe bet.
I'm trying to figure out where my memory leak is coming from since lately i'm experiencing a lot of performance drop when just opening a new tab on my browser FireFox ver.51
Just to be sure I've disabled all non-Microsoft startup services in msconfig even after reboot it still gets stuck on this.
Looking up on the vendors updates for this machine then it would be up to date on the drivers, i do occasionally check for Intel Chipset and onboard Graphics drivers (stable versions only) myself that are a few years newer then the vendor.
MS Resource monitor
MS Taskmgr Perfomance monitor
In the Taskmgr Performance monitor you can see I'm barely using any CPU and I/O leaving out any form of I/O wait issues due to swapping.
When looking in the Resource monitor actual physical RAM in is about 6.3GB while Cached is only 1.6GB making it roughly 4GB RAM missing where it's usage is coming from.
So i did do a offline MemTest (oh yes the old blue gorgeous BIOS screen) and all checks were passed, luckily it's only 8GB RAM so the downtime is manage-able ;)
Any ideas or other handy tools I can use to find the culprit?
Already fixed it, seems like my pagefile is storing too much cached memory for some reason, will look into it myself why it stores so much memory
System notes:
1. Using Android Studio 1.1.0
2. Using Windows 8.1, 32 bit
3. Using JDK 7
4. 512mb was given to the emulator and Intel HAXM is installed and in use.
Hello!
My Android Studio emulator memory is being stupid. When I try to run an AVD, it does the normal stuff, then gives me this error message:
The memory needed by this VM exceeds the driver limit.
Cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Invalid argument
I fully understand that it is exceeding my PC RAM, however I can't fix this error as I can't find where to lower the memory allowance. Also, 512mb is the recommended amount, so will lowering the allowance have a bad effect?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
The memory allocated has to be lower or equal to the memory usage you have set during the installation of HAXM. Relaunch the installation and modify it.
