Android Solutions
Solution 1 - Android
One of the solution is:
Select "Tools" -> "SDK Manager" -> "SDK Tools" tab -> and update to latest Android Emulator version.
Solution 2 - Android
None of the solutions worked for me. Here are the generic steps to help you find the problem:
- Try to find emulator folder in sdk folder, in my case it is
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator
- Open terminal in this folder and call
emulator -list-avds
and see names of emulators, in my case it isPixel_2_API_30
- Next step try to call this emulator with command
emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_30
- Your emulator will start or show an error. In my case I sow this
- I needed to install the missing dll. I go to link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0 and install Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 and now all ok!!!
Warning: Of course, in your case, you may have another error - but you can easily find a solution on the Internet knowing the reason
Solution 3 - Android
Make sure your machine has enough storage space, sometimes AVD requires up to 10GB or more to start.
Solution 4 - Android
To debug the exact cause of this issue, On the tabs section of android studio,
click 'Help',
then 'Show log in explorer'.
After opening the file, if you see any message like
'Emulator: cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed Emulator: cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed ',
Then follow these four steps
1.Download the vulkan.dll file from the internet(Google search for these and you would see sources to download from) or get from any other source.
2.Extract the dll file
- Place it in c\Users[your username]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\lib64.
4.Then rename the file to 'vulkan-1.dll'
Then run your emulator and see it come up
Solution 5 - Android
I have same problem as you. Now I resolved it by these steps.
-
Open SDK Manager, select "SDK Tools" Tab
-
Uncheck box "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)" then "OK"
-
Open AVD Manager, try to start emulator and then let it to install HAXM
-
Finally, Emulator can be started. I think so HAXM Version is update (old is 7.5.1 and new is 7.5.6).
Solution 6 - Android
Uncheck "Launch in a tool window" from File-> Settings -> emulator Should work.
Solution 7 - Android
I want to make a contribution to this thread, I have tried many of the possible solutions that I have found on the net, including the one that is now marked as Solution and I have not managed to solve the problem until I have modified the SDK path to match the ones System variables
Solution 8 - Android
I had same issue.
I changed ANDROID_HOME path on environment variables.
And then I copied 'avd' folder, which emulator installed in into 'sdk' folder(ANDROID_HOME path).
*** You can find 'avd' folder by clicking 'Show on Disk' in AVD manger.
I restarted the emulator and then it is running well now.
Solution 9 - Android
Same issue here, resolved it by uninstalling all the unused SDKs to free some disk space
=> uncheck them in SDK Manager then Apply, and Finish when the uninstallation process is done, finally restart your Android Studio, it should be ok

Solution 10 - Android
For me, it happened to be that my machine was out of disk space. However, I was able to verify this by running the emulator from the command line in order to get a more detailed error message:
$ emulator -list-avds
Pixel_3_API_29
Pixel_3_API_30
Pixel_5_API_30_R_
$ emulator -avd Pixel_3_API_29
emulator: Android emulator version 30.4.1.0 (build_id 7075546) (CL:N/A)
emulator: ERROR: Not enough disk space to run AVD 'Pixel_3_API_29'. Exiting...
Freeing disk space worked. Note, a great way to free up lots of space is to open Android Virtual Device Manager and select wipe data
. For me, this cleared 8 GB just with one emulator that I hadn't used in a long while and was fine to reset.
Solution 11 - Android
Just make sure you have enough disk space on your machine, I freed up space and didn't have to do any of the steps mentioned above.
Solution 12 - Android
There are many reasons why the emulator process can quit. This dialog unfortunately provides this misleading message with no further details.
If you have Android SDK Command-line Tools installed, run emulator from the command line to see what's happening.
emulator -list-avds # get available AVD names
emulator @<avd-name> # try to start emulator
Error messages will follow. In my case it was insufficient disk space.
Solution 13 - Android
If updating doesn't work for you try opening the emulator with command line for ubuntu
>> locate emulator location in Terminal (cd Home/Android/Sdk/emulator).
>> run this command emulator -avd EMULATOR_NAME
this will open the emulator or will tell the actual error that you can fix. in my case the problem was my system has low space left than the required for emulator (6GB < 8GB)
Solution 14 - Android
Same issue occurred with me multiple time. Try following points hope it help you.
- File-> invalidate Cache/ Restart.
- File-> Settings -> Tools -> Emulator -> Now uncheck(Launch in a tool window)
- AVD Manager -> more option -> show on disk -> Now delete(hardware-qemu.ini.lock) and run again.
Solution 15 - Android
I know this is for windows but I share my solution in case anyone with Ubuntu is here.
In my case that happened when I changed my machine completely but keep my storage device. In my old storage device I had Ubuntu 20.04, android studio 4.1.2 and I was trying to run a pixel 4 android Q emulator. Both old device and new device were Intel x86. What happened:
When I tried to open my emulator for the first time I faced this error.
I deleted the android image from tools > SDK Manager > SDK platforms, by unchecking the android image, and then install it again. Obviously it downloads it again. Then I deleted my old AVD and create a new one and every thing start working. Solution:
Solution 16 - Android
You have to check that Android Emulator is properly installed or not. If there an update available for emulator then it should be updated.
Solution 17 - Android
I had the same problem, then I tried multiple things to fix that but no luck, then I chose a different system image and now it works.
Solution 18 - Android
If you just created the emulator and it has never been run before, you need to run it as a stand-alone window for the first time, then you can run it in a tool window (in the Android studio window). To run the emulator as standalone app:
- In the android studio settings go to tools>Emulator and make sure that "Launch in a tool window" is disabled before running the project.
- Or close the project and start the emulator
- Or run this command line
emulator -avd {your virtual device name here}

Solution 19 - Android
I had this error too. The issue was my 'avd' folder creating the image and 'avd' folder when trying to launch the android emulator were pointing to two different places.
The solution:
step 1: create an environment variable to redirect both paths back to the same place
step 2: restart Android studio
Solution 20 - Android
If nothing else works, what solved it for me was:
Tools > SDK Manager > Reinstall Android emulator and HAXM
Solution 21 - Android
If the emulator was already working and you get into this error, then the emulator executable crashed, but the process is still running.
Find these processes with your process explorer and kill them. They should look similar like
- emulator.exe
- qemu-system-x86_64.exe
Afterwards go to your AVD directory where your device is located and delete multiinstance.lock
file. Restart Android Studio, and launch the device in the AVD manager.
Solution 22 - Android
If you are using a 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, there is a reported bug with Intel HAXM. The only way that I manage to run the emulator is on the command-line by turning off hardware acceleration and the AVD was very slow. Here is how:
To get the list of installed AVDs (assuming your default emulator path is as follows)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -list-avds
Start an AVD (Nexus_5X_API_25 of example) with hardware acceleration off
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator.exe -avd Nexus_5X_API_25 -accel off
You can add the -verbose -show-kernel
options to get detailed info.
Solution 23 - Android
None of the above answers worked for me. This did:
I followed the steps mentioned in this comment, but it didn't show any errors. It also said to "Update emulator because it's outdated", although my emulator was already up-to-date. I restarted Studio & ran the AVD from AVD manager and it worked.
Solution 24 - Android
I faced the same issue on my fresh installed Linux Mint with Nvidia GPU. The problem was solved after the GPU driver installed.
Go to "Driver Manager" to see if there is driver available.
Solution 25 - Android
It's hard to come to read on my solution which is after 25 Answers. Still I suggest this solution which helped me as non others helped:
- Use command in cmd: cd C:<SDK-Path>\Android\Sdk\emulator>emulator -list-avds
- List all emulator using: emulator -list-avds
- Run emulator using: emulator @Your-Emulator-Name
- This will show you error on why emulator is not able to launch.
- For me it was: handleCpuAcceleration: feature check for hvf cannot add library vulkan-1.dll: failed
- Downlaod vulkan-1.dll file by googling
- Place this file in c:\Windows\System32
- Launch Emulator again Viola!!! :)
Solution 26 - Android
On Windows 10, Intel, Android Studio 2020.3.1 Patch 4 in
Tools > AVD Manager > Create virtual device Phone > Pixel XL > Next On System Image > x86 Images tab > API 32 > Next
Let the image download and finish.
Basically I choose from x86_64 Images.
Solution 27 - Android
Mine was caused by lack of space on my primary Hard Drive on my PC. Once I had at least 4 GB the error cleared.
