Android emulator won't start

When I started the Android emulator, I got the following black window. I waited a long time and nothing came of it.

There are no logs in the eclipse console either.

I'm sorry it's not informative. If you can point me to the location for the log files, I would like more information.

[EDIT] sorry if I didn't understand. I wanted to ask, for some kind of emulator problem other than trial and error, how do I actually diagnose this? where can the log file be written?

I had the same problem on OSX, I figured that:



  • Change to the directory .android

    (in my case it wasUsers/<username>/.android

  • Go to folder avd

  • Find the emulator that won't start (the directory name will be the same as the emulator)
  • Delete all .img files. Do not delete .ini files.
  • Try running the simulator again.

This could be because you don't have enough memory. It will take a long time to run if you run it for the first time. I suggest using Genymotion

as it is faster than the Android emulator.



If you insist on using a stock emulator, make sure the option is save snapshot

checked so that the emulator starts up faster next time.
