AVD Emulator stuck on loading screen in Android Studio

Question

I decided to try Android Studio 2.0 having used Eclipse in the past but I\'m having considerable difficulty getting the AVD to load correctly. I\'ve done quite a bit of goog

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I'm running El Capitan 10.11.5 with a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 8GB RAM, Android Studio 1.5.1.

After upgrading to Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer), rev 6.1.1 and deleting my API 14 SDK and related files, the newly installed API 23's Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image would not get past the Android logo screen.

After much trial & error, the Intel x86 Atom System Image (not Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image) for API 15 finally loaded the home screen on the emulator after ~ 8 min and one android system crash.

Will try the Intel x86 Atom System Image for API 23 later. Hope that helps.
