Android Emulator Device crash when start in Android Studio (Linux)
For emulator crashing seconds after launch in Android Studio 2.3.1 or later: Open Android Virtual Device Manager, select your AVD, select "Edit this AVD", in the new window (Virtual Device Configuration), goto Emulated Performance > Graphics and select the "Software (GLS)" option. This problem might be caused by:1) Outdated graphics card drivers.2) Older graphics cards, not properly supported by the generic Windows 8 (or newer) drivers.
I had this issue when I used my PC in combination with an USB docking station (DisplayLink). In this case you have to ensure to use the software emulation. Without the DisplayLink connection it works with GPU support as expected.
