Error in launching AVD with AMD processor
Make sure you have installed HAXM installer on your SDK Manager.
After you download it and make sure you run the setup located in:{SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe
Note: in Android Studio, the command "intelhaxm.exe" has been changed to "intelhaxm-android.exe"
If you get the error "VT not supported" during the installation disable Hyper-V on windows features. You can execute this command dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V. You will also need "Virtualization Technology" to be enabled on your BIOS
Open SDK Manager and download Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) if you haven't.
Now go to your SDK directory (C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk, generally). In this directory, go to extras → Intel → Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "intelhaxm-android.exe".
In case you get an error like "Intel virtualization technology (vt,vt-x) is not enabled", go to your BIOS settings and enable hardware virtualization.
Restart Android Studio and then try to start the AVD again.
It might take a minute or 2 to show the emulator window.
If you're running Mac, as @pedro mentions ensure you have the HAXM installer dowloaded via the Android SDK Manager.
Next install it! In finder navigate to /YOUR_SDK_PATH/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/
Run and install the .mpgk in the following .dmg
- Yosemite:
IntelHAXM_1.1.0_for_10.10.dmg - Pre-yosemite:
IntelHAXM_1.1.0_below_10.10.dmg - El Capitan: IntelHAXM_6.0.1.dmg - please install the IntelHAXM_6.0.1.mpgk file within - it will ask you if you want to reinstall it. Just say yes.
Example:
$cd /YOUR_SDK_PATH/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/$open IntelHAXM_1.1.0_below_10.10.dmg
