Why the HAXM configuration memory is too low “969 MB”? It is not compatible with AVD API level 23 which require 1 GB RAM

Question

This is the error messages shown in Android Studio 1.4 console

emulator: WARNING: Increasing RAM size to 1GB
emulator: device fd:560
HAXM is not         


        

Answer 1

You should run HAXM installer from /extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/ and during installation set amount of RAM available to HAXM to 1024 MB or more.

If there is not extras/intel directory then launch Android SDK Manager, go to Extras, select Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer) and press Install.
