Could Not Launch Emulator in Android Studio

Emulator in Android Studio doesn't start

I had the same problem. I just created the AVD with 768 MB RAM and it did run fine!

UPDATE: November 2022

This answer was almost from 10 years ago and will most propably not work on current version of Android Studio.

Could not launch emulator in Android Studio

The first error's reason is below:

There are two emulators: one in $SDK/tools, another one in $SDK/emulator.

The one in $SDK/tools cannot start.

Please place $SDK/emulator before $SDK/tools in your $PATH variable, it should fix the problem.

Can't run Android Studio's Emulator

I used follow solution solved this problem.↓

Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools (tab) -> Deselect 'Android Emulator' -> OK

Now, when you try to run your app, or launch device from AVD Manager, it will give the 'Install Emulator' error -> Click Ok. This will automatically download the correct version.

Android studio: emulator is running but not showing up in Run App choose a running device

Probably the project you are running is not compatible (API version/Hardware requirements) with the emulator settings. Check in your build.gradle file if the targetSDK and minimumSdk version is lower or equal to the sdk version of your Emulator.

You should also uncheck Tools > Android > Enable ADB Integration

If your case is different then restart your Android Studio and run the emulator again.
