android emulator forever launching

Question

i want to set up an android emulator, i downloaded android 4.4 (kitkat), tools, and all the extra's

the emulator is loading forever, its already loading for 2 hours, the android startup boot logo is not laggy, so the emulator is not slow.

I rebooted multiple times, and tried different devices

my emulator: device: 10.1" WGXA (tablet) (1280 x 800: mdpi) Target: android 4.4 - API level 19 CPU: ARM (armeabi-v7a) <--- cant change this Memory Options: RAM:768 VM Heap: 32 Internal storage: 4096 Emulation Options: use host GPU

Computer specs: 4.2GHz 8-core cpu 4GB ram and lot more

if i look in task manager it is using 15%cpu, 470MB RAM and 0MB disk speed

Solution 1

when you're using the Windows OS, you have to set the RAM to 512Mb in order to get the AVD to run properly. Hope this helps as 2 hours is an awful long time for the emulator to load.

Solution 2

Had the same problem, try starting the AVD on its own and wipe user data before trying your app.
