I am trying to run the default Hello World application in my emulator using eclipse.
My Project is set to:
Generic - 3.7"WVGA (480 x 800 hdpi)
API 19: Android 4.4.2
and here is my emulator settings:
But when I launch this emulator with my application, it takes a super long time to load, All I see in my android emulator screen is just Android:
In my console all it says is: Launching a new emulator with Virtual Device 'Nexus' and does nothing else, its been sitting like this for half an hour and I have tried restarted the eclipse application a few times and still just Android. Can anyone help me?
First option:
Download the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator from the Android SDK Manager ( it's in Extras )
go to your SDK file and locate the file and click it to instill it
Then you will see a new option for the CPU/ABI ( Android wear Intel x86 )
Pick it and run your emulator and it will be faster now.
Second option:
in the AVD , pick ( 3.2" HVGA slider (ADP1) ) device instead of Nexus
and it should run faster now !
Good Luck.
The Android Virtual Device emulator is known for being very slow and it always takes a long time to load.
If you really wish to work on the emulator, when creating a new device select the Snapshot option, which will save your current device state when you shut it down, and that should allow the emulator to boot up quickly (you will have to wait for it to load for the first time, though).
And although this option exists, I really recommend that you buy an Android device for debugging purposes (I bet you can find used 2013 models for a really low price)
I was having that problem because of low RAM. I resolved that by using Genymotion
It's much lighter and faster than your AVD. Also, if you need Google's apps (maps, play) in your emulator, you can always add them. Here is a tutorial for that

So I'm a beginner in Android Studio. I have created a Nexus S as an ADV. Every time I launch that device, it says "System UI isn't responding". I get 2 options; close app, wait.
When I click close, nothing happens but when I click wait, it just goes on as if nothing happened.
I was just wondering what I can do to get rid of this problem?
Also does increasing the RAM on the device make it any faster? Can I do anything to make it faster?
Thanks
This caused because of the RAM size is small in my case.
Open AVD Manager
Select the device > Show Advanced Settings > Change the RAM.
If you can't edit the setting, then create new device.

I used to face this problem every time I started my AVD. Also the cold boot option was just a temporary fix for me.
I checked the android version that I had installed on my emulator, and noticed the ABI version was x86.
I downloaded the X86_64 version and I have not faced that error again.
I am very enthusiastic in learning and developing android applications using the native java language. Sadly my emulator is not running at all. It ran once but it was very very very slow. I am using Eclipse and the Android ADT bundle.
If it is a hardware thing here then please see my specs below. As far as I'm concerned, these are pretty decent specs for a laptop for developing apps.
Can anyone shed some light on why the emulator is unable to run properly? I really would like to start developing apps as soon as I can.
You can try three things:
Check whether your processor supports Intel HAXM. This will make the
emulator as fast as real device.
Try GenyMotion.
Alternatively, consider developing on Linux. The Linux kernel contains a module called kvm that is the equivalent of the Intel HAXM driver on Windows. The emulator is blazing fast on Linux with any kind of processor.

The stock emulator is very slow. I had the same issue currently I am using Genymotion emulator which is way to better than the emulator that is packaged with the SDK.

Though it does not have all the features available for free
i want to start Android application development but my avd is taking forever to launch and sometime it show me error that your device is not responding close or wait.what to do???
i have i3 laptop with 4 gb ram so i don't think so my laptop configuration is low for it.
i have tried waiting for nearly half an hour and still got no result.
i have already try to follow tutorials and still it all end in to zero.
thanks for your time.
can any one suggest best configuration for avd so can start it up and running.
Try a simple configuration so you can be sure it isnt about resources of your machine. Use a ARM CPU, 3.2 QVGA device, 100mb internal and 256 ram. I have a laptop configuration close to what you describe, and it takes with eclipse on about 8 minutes to start the avd. Hope this helps.
Try to start AVD with minimum screen resolution and check if that works. Sometimes loading AVD with high resolution emulator does not work. I had the same problem and i opened emulator using small screen resolution and boom it worked. :)
Try it.
If you have issues with AVD, I'd highly encourage to try Genymotion.I hope it helps you
i had the same problem , and i fixed it by change CPU/ABI to ARM in emulator configuration
Leave Default AVD and Use GenyMotion Download Link below

and refer to my answer why genymotion is better than default avd

i searched the web to find some guides how to increase the capacity of the internal memory of my virtual device, no luck so far, since i think their talking about the memory of their real phone, not the virtual device.
my problem is after adding some few files on my app, once i run the project as android project, it is having errors like:
[2011-07-18 12:04:28 - testproject] Failed to install testproject.apk on device 'emulator-5554': device not found
[2011-07-18 12:04:28 - testproject] com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: device not found
[2011-07-18 12:04:28 - testproject] Launch canceled!
and i can't test if my codes are running correctly since it won't install the app..
i know you can immediately program the app to install itself on the SD card instead of it using the internal memory of the phone, but i just want to end this problem of mine, can i really increase the size of the internal memory? or the size of the internal memory is already fixed? depending on the android platform, i use android 2.2..
i also tinkered through the hardware of the avd adding and increasing the value of the hardwares, no luck, so if someone could just give me advice or assist me on this problem of mine i would be grateful, since i can't continue my study of the android technology because of this minor setback, thanks and godspeed.

Start the emulator from command line with -partition-size parameter.
I'm new to android development and right now I'm working on a game. However I was using the emulator first, which I found extremely slow (even though my PC is really good). So I started testing my app on my android device using the usb cable and the "debugging mode" set to "on". Later I got the error that my phone has almost run out of internal hard disk storage. first it was around 70 mb free and now its like 17mb..This is no good as now I would have to format my android phone to release the space... I dont know how Google can leave this bug in the first place..
Is there any other way to clear the invisible occupied space hogged by the app. I only tested the app on the phone. It wasnt Installed via market or manually.
My android phone is Samsung Galaxy Mini, and I was using eclipse for development
Apps you installed through Eclipse are available to be removed through the normal way. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications (or whatever it is for your Android version) and select your app. Within this screen, you can delete the app and you can also "Clear Data" and "Clear cache". Clearing these items should free up that space.
That said, I have never heard of an app eating space just for fun. Please make sure you don't have a leak of some sort.
