I decided to install xamarin the other day so I could start coding in c#. So far it's been an absolute nightmare getting anything to work. I downloaded the xamarin bundle that visual studio offers and now I'm trying to simply run a test app and the emulator won't work.
I've looked at every video online, & tried to read through as many forums as possible but at this point I need direct help before I throw my computer into the pool(jk)
I've downloaded android emulator & installed almost all the devices & made sure to install all the packages in the android sdk. I created a new device from the vds manager but I STILL get errors. this is the message I get waiting for the emulator to start, I don't see the android splash either
still waiting
回答1:
Have you tried to edit the emulator properties and to check the "Use Host GPU Option"? I had that issue too and that option solves the problem

I got stuck on this for a while until the basic issue was I simply was not waiting long enough. Keep an eye on your Visual Studio build window, and watch all the slow messages as the come up.. it takes around 3-5 minutes on a blank project for the first time on a intel i5 with 8GB ram.... so the trick really in my case was to be patient. I think it gets faster second time round as it remembers some of the hard work it did the fist time to get it to work.

I enabled Hyper-V acceleration based on microsoft documentations: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/get-started/installation/android-emulator/hardware-acceleration?tabs=vswin&pivots=windows#accelerating-with-hyper-v
Basically you need to turn on these two windows features from the control panel (Turn windows features on of off):
- Hyper-V.
- Windows hypervisor platform.
then from visual studio go to: Tools >> Android >> Android SDK manager >> Tools >> make sure that "Android emulator" version is 27.0.1 or higher, if not, you will find in the same screen a button below to update it.
I did this on windows 10 64-bit, with VS 2017 Community 15.9.5
