Answer 4

None of these solutions worked for me. Instead, what worked was to go to a command line tool (or terminal in Mac), CD into the SDK/platform-tools directory, and then run this:

adb kill-server

then run this:

adb start-server

After I did this everything worked again. Why? Who knows.

On my MAC the path to the platform-tools folder was $HOME/Installations/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130522/sdk/platform-tools It will probably be somewhere else on your machine.

I had only 12 Mb for the SD Card in the AVD device.

Increasing it to 2 Gb solved the issue.

Following steps worked for me: 1. Goto Project -> Clean. 2. Delete your previous AVD and create a new one.
