Setup Android Emulator on Mac OS X

The purpose of this section is to guide you to create in your development environment an Android emulator.

Android emulators are managed through a UI called AVD Manager

AVD Manager has a nice interface when started from Android Studio.

Start Android Studio app, then create a blank project.

Go to the Tools menu -> :Android -> AVD Manager:

If no emulator has been created you should start with this screen:

Click the Create Virtual Device button.

In the Select Hardware window , select Nexus 5 as shown in the following snapshot:

Click the Next button.

In the System Image, select the system image Nougat, API Level 25 , ABI x86 :

Click on the download link to download the selected System Image. This download process is done through SDK Manager.

Once the download is complete, click on the Next button.

In the Verify Configuration window, check any parameter :

Then click on the Finish button.

AVD Manager shows you the newly created device:

Click on the launch button to launch the newly created AVD in the emulator.
Notice in the Run Window of Android Studio the command line used to start the device:

which can be shortened to :

How to start Android Emulator from Terminal?

Stop the emulator started by Android Studio. Open the Terminal app and type the following command:

This should start the emulator with the selected AVD.

Android Studio/Emulator on macOS with ARM CPU M1

I started Android Studio 4.1 in macOS Big Sure 11.0.1 with new ARM cpu M1

After installing Rosetta: Yes, it builds !

But the Emulator has problems, it shows me CPU does not support VT-x

Even ARM images have this issue

I used the most recent, a very old api25 (Google has to do here something) but it’s increadible slow

How to make the Emulator work and fast ?

There is an arm64 release version available for Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) You can download it here https://developer.android.com/studio/archive

Use a arm64-v8a image !

• Tools -> SDK Manager
• Install Android 11 (R) or 12.0 (S) and click Apply
• Tools -> AVD Manager -> click Create Virtual Device
• Choose any device that has the Play button and click Next
• Choose an arm64-v8a on «Other Images» tab

But NDK still runs into Unknown host CPU architecture: arm64

End of beta ! Thank you

There is an arm64 version available for Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) Canary 15 . RC01 You can download it here https://developer.android.com/studio/archive

Edit on April 2021

It works for me seamless in Android Studio 4.1.3 you need a arm64 images.

First post

Ok it has some limitations, but it works and it’s fast

• Go to AVD Manager
• Click «+ Create Virtual Device»
• Choose a Device definition (ex. «Pixel 4a XL»)
• Click «Next»
• Click «Other images»
• Download «S» System image
• Click «Next»
• Click «Finish»

Steps to run your Android APP on M1

Finally my Android APP running normally on my M1 chip !

This presume you already have your environment variables set.

Download Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) Link (I personally got the last I could September 1, 2021)

Install and open Android Studio

Tools -> SDK Manager

Check the box of Android 12.0 (S) and click Apply

. Wait until it’s downloaded

Tools -> AVD Manager -> click Create Virtual Device

Choose any device that has the Play button and click Next

Choose the image S. If you can’t find it in the Recommended tab click on Other Images

Final step click Next and Finish

You should now be ready to go.

You can now download the Android Studio Canary. In which you can run the android emulator with out any limitation of the android emulator m1 preview. In android emulator m1 preview there are issues with webview , device skin, sound etc..now you dont have to worry about that

Here is the link

Now It’s available

Apple Silicon Support

Android Studio Arctic Fox Canary 15 contains preliminary support for Apple Silicon (arm64). This version of Android Studio for this platform is still under active development, but we wanted to get a functional version out to the app developer community to get feedback. On top of the Intellij build, design tools work, and the Android Emulator works with API 30 and API S Developer Preview emulator system images.

For me I can run the emulator on my MacBook Pro MacOS Big Sur with ARM CPU M1 only on Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1 Beta03 and later versions) only after deleting Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer).

It is not clear exactly what problems Google has had that they still have no way to release the M1 version. I got the DTK M1 almost a year ago. I think Google got it even earlier. Yes, there was a problem with emulation, but everything else in the IDE could definitely be done.

At least a loner did it without too much trouble. There is roughness, but the speed of work is different from sky and earth. Working with a regular Android Studio on M1 is almost impossible, and even with this refinement amateur, everything flies like lighting.

This is an unofficial canary version of Android Studio Arctic Fox with emulators on the Apple Silicon. I’m using it and it works well in most cases.

Android Emulator not working on MAC

I’ve been trying to use the Android Emulator after downloading Android Studio. I’ve used an old Samsung S4 before, but need something compatible to Marshmallow for certain features.

The problems I am seeing are:

• -Emulator doesn’t run
• -Android screen shows as if it’s preparing to boot but doesn’t
• -When android screen disappears after hour of waiting, screen shows dialog that says the system is unresponsive, and to wait or kill the process
• -When I try to run app on AVD while that screen is showing, error from Android Studio pops up saying that the AVD didn’t install APK’s correctly and to uninstall them or cancel.

The solutions I have tried:

• -Lowering AVD RAM to 512 & 236 MB
• -Turning emulator cameras off
• -Turning off Audio
• -Graphics preference set to software
• -Deleting and redownloading everything
• -Checking to make sure API matches SDK
• -Trying different API (25)
• -Downloading BlueStacks (Didn’t realize it uses Kitkat)

Most of the solutions for a slow/not working emulators were related to the Emulator settings of which I changed and tried. I’ve been stuck on this for three days and am desperate for a solution so I can test my app which requires Android API of 23 +.

A little side note just in case I’m out-of-luck. I’m using a mid-2010 MAC running on OSX Sierra, Core 2 duo processor, 16GB RAM, 1TB hard drive.

**Update I’ve ran the emulator through the command line and here is the output that I am receiving. The emaulator is still loading on the Android Screen but no more output has been logged for the last 30 minutes after «Adb connected, start proxing data».

in the last 30 minutes.

Android shows laggy screen that said «Starting Android Process», then 30 minutes later showed frozen screen that stated the system UI is not responding, with a allow debugging dialog behind it. See images. When I click, the UI is not responding and the logs are not outputting anything beyond what I posted.

Any chance to run Android Studio Emulator on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan?

I’ve installed Android Studio 3.5 on a Mac OS X (version 10.11 El Capitan) laptop. When I try to run «Hello World» app in the emulator, I’m running into error that reads

Additionally, an system-native error window pops up that says:

emulator cannot be opened because of a problem.

Check with the developer to make sure emulator works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.

Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.

I did the default installation first. Then, after quite some googling, I’ve found out that HAXM version is incompatible with my OS. OK, but it’s about «acceleration», so if uninstall it, then, according to uninstall script,

Hmm, I’ve got the same error after uninstalling HAXM. Then I completely removed Android Studio, and installed it again, this time unticking the HAXM box. Same error.

(which was built for Mac OS X 10.12)

in the log is a worrying sign. However, the download page states the following system requirements, all of which are met:

EDIT: using older version

As suggested in comments, I’ve tried an older version (3.0.1), as I found a reference suggesting it works on my OS. But I’ve run into exact the same problem. It turned out, that during the installation process the latest greatest incompatible components are downloaded and installed on the first launch without asking anything.

Is it possible to plug an older emulator in?

Has anyone run into this problem and solved it?

A couple of possibly notes:

• I’m hesitant to upgrade the OS, because I need my old Adobe CS3 products
• I do have VirtualBox installed on my laptop (some posts that I read today implied this could be relevant).
• I am a software developer, but this is my first experience with mobile apps.

Setting up Android Emulator in M1 Mac

Hello everyone in this article we are going to see how you can setup Android emulator in M1 ARM Chip Mac. Apple recently ditched Intel processors and started making their own processors, which is not new because currently Apple is switching their Mac processors for third time. First was in 1994 where they switched from Motorola to Power PC and second was in 2000s where they switched from Power PC to Intel Chips and now from Intel to M1.Since M1 Chips are based on ARM(Advanced RISC Machines ) architecture which means in RISC architecture, the instruction set of processor is simplified to reduce the execution time. It uses small and highly optimized set of instructions. And they are also power efficient. However there are several Softwares which still uses x86 architecture. So most of the third party developer tools like Android Studio,Unreal Engine,HomeBrew are not yet optimised for ARM architecture.Though Apple provide a solution by using Rosetta 2 which is a dynamic binary translation which can translate x86 instructions to ARM instructions so that Intel based apps can run in M1 Mac.However they also have some limitation.

Rosetta doesn’t translate the following executables:

• Kernel extensions
• Virtual Machine apps that virtualize x86_64 computer platforms

Here the Virtual Machine apps includes all VM software like Virtual Box,Android emulator etc.

What about Android Studio?

Currently Android Studio native ARM build is not available which means entire Android Studio runs with Rosetta 2 translation which gives pretty much impressive performance than intel based Mac.

But If you try to launch your virtual machine it will show the following error.

You can debug your App with a physical device connected to Android Studio.

But sometimes If you don’t have access to a physical device you can use Android emulator which is specifically made for M1 chips which is still under preview.I doesn’t comes bundled with Android Studio.
