Cannot run emulator in Android Studio

Question

I just got done installing Android studio and trying to take it for a test run. When I try to run my app I get the following error message

emulator: ERROR:          


        

Answer 1

Normally, the error will occur due to an unsuitable AVD emulator for the type of app you are developing for. For example if you are developing an app for a wearable but you are trying to use a phone emulator to run it.
