Android studio emulator fails to start with memory limit related error message

Question

I\'m trying to run my first android studio project but I get this error message and the emulator doesn\'t start :

Created filesystem with 11/4224 inodes and          


        

Answer 1

After Android Studio is installed

In CMD (Run As Admin) execute this command (Emulator should be closed):

//if it's installed on D:, at first, "cd" to that drive, like  "D:"
cd "%ANDROID_SDK_HOME%\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager"
silent_install.bat -m 1024

this will set HAXM memory to 1024Mb (max 1800). Set RAM parameter in VDM slightly below this value, like 980

If you are using Mac OS then use navigate to path //Library/Android/sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and execute sudo ./silent_install.sh -m 1024
