I know this message has been already asked before but none of the answers has fixed my issue,
The error message:
I have already tried disabling the hotspot of my emulator (which is a Pixel XL API 30) but it doesn't work. I have also tried restarting my pc, IDE and emulator and also changing my IDE from vs code to Android Studio but the error doesn't go away. I am new to flutter and I don't want to give up at the start!
Disable your mobile hotspot. If you use windows 11 that was my error try, will run normally easy like this.
For me, it was the Windows Hotspot Wifi as "#Salah dine Maham" said.
As I know it is related to a gradle issue (shows up from about gradle v6.3), I went to the
android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
I updated the distributionURL into :
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.1.1-all.zip
You "may" need to update the gradle plugin on the android project.
And now you can debug again freely through Windows Hotspot wifi.
So, as I said I couldn't find any solutions but here it is:
delete ANY VMware processes or, if you can, unistall VMware and use virtualbox instead, even if vmware is not running it will confict with other emulators.

Does anyone know how to run VS Code on Samsung Dex?
I've tried:
https://medium.com/samsung-internet-dev/writing-software-using-a-phone-e71976f1f18d
Looks like it is possible, but I don't know how. I can see vscode supports linux, does this mean that you can run vscode on Samsung Dex - Note 9 ?
Thanks in Advance.
Visual Studio Code is not natively supported on Android yet. So there is no way to natively run VSCode on Android with your Note 9 and Samsung DeX.
You do however have the following two options available:
When using "Linux on DeX" then you have the option to run Visual Studio Code natively from the Linux environment on Samsung DeX, although do keep in mind that Linux on DeX is now discontinued starting Android 10.
Remotely log into a different Linux, Windows or Mac computer and use VSCode on those computer through your phone on Samsung DeX.
Ofcourse the first option is the best. I recommend using Linux on DeX for this. Right now there isn't a native Android version of VSCode :(
I would recommend to go for fully functional Linux on Android.
You will require
Termux (Playstore)
VNCViewer (Playstore), bVNCViewer(recommended for tablets)
Andronix (Playstore), would recommend to go for premium and modded os, it would just cost you a cup of coffee. Though you can use unmodded os for free. Modded os comes with pre installed VsCode, etc useful stuffs.
Follow Andronix documentation: https://andronix.app/
For a fully functioning visual studio code or code on a samsung tab, you can use github codespaces in a browser tab in Dex mode, this is a paid approach but a reliable one. One other is self-hosted code instances like code-server
As of summer 2020, there is a cloud9 style browser based VSCode service provided by Microsoft Azure:
https://online.visualstudio.com/
You can see it in action here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg0VHA_YZUI
i didnt try that, but i think you can find a cloud coding solution, like Stackblitz that is very similar to vscode in appearance(if it's not in fact vscode), or even AWS Cloud9
Try using a VS format with a cloud10 interfase code this will open up a rex code then type your server code in using the YZ trigger and this will give you access.
You can install linux on Samsung phone and tablet and then you will be able to use visual code.

I wanted to use Instagram on my computer, so I decided to use an Android Virtual Device for that task.
I downloaded the Android SDK and the newest apk for instagram for my computer.
Then I created a new AVD and ran it. After it was booted, I installed the instagram apk using adb install instagram.apk.
It installed smoothly and after clicking the app, it started.
Now here's my problem: From there on nothing works.
When I try to login and I press the login button, nothing happens like there would be no internet connection.
Browsers and other apps using an internet connection work just fine, just instagram doesn't work.
How can I fix this?
I think it has something to do that the android Emulator can't really handle a global proxy.
Therefore hostnames get resolved directly to their IP which violates HTTP 1.1 standarts and the request doesn't get send properly.
To fix this, it is needed to change it so the hostname gets send instead of the IP.
You should try creating an AVD with different settings. More RAM and allowing GPU emulation is a good idea. If you insist on using an AVD and you have an appropriate intel CPU then you can make the emulator run much faster by following these steps. They are a bit complicated, but worth it if you want the emulator to run quicker.
I typically try to avoid using the Android emulator while I am developing apps. It has its uses, but it tends to be slow and doesn't have all of the capabilities of actual devices.
As an alternative to using an AVD, I would recommend downloading and installing BlueStacks. BluesStacks was written from the ground up to allow running Android apps on your Windows PC or Mac. I have used it before and it does a great job. Much better than an AVD.
Try visual studio emulator for android. Instagram works on it with enabled and connected wifi. This emulator works better than BlueStacks.
I am just trying to start development in Android.
So, the problem is that when I try to launch an emulator by issuing the command emulator #A2, an emulator comes up on the screen. But even after waiting for as long as 2-3 hrs, all it shows is a black screen. Not even the Android home screen or the Android logo. Just a black screen. And while initially "adb devices" shows the emulator as offline.after 2-3 minutes the list of attached devices becomes blank.
I searched all over net and tried all the steps mentioned there like kill and restart adb, install java/android in a directory without spaces, but to no avail.
My Jdk and Android installations are in following folders:
C:\Java32BitInstallation
C:\AndroidSdkInstallation
Here's the list of stuff I have downloaded/installed for it:
Android SDK Tools, revision 13
Android SDK platforms tools, revision 10
SDK platform Android 4.0.3, API 15, revsion 1
Jdk jdk-7u3-windows-i586
In my path variable, I have added *C:\AndroidSdkInstallation\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\AndroidSdkInstallation\android-sdk\tools;C:\Java32BitInstallation;C:\Java32BitInstallation\bin*
Also after reading somewhere from net I have added JAVA_HOME variable with its value as C:\Java32BitInstallation\ But still no use.
I have both IntelliJ and Eclipse installed on my system. But since for starting the emulator, I am not using any of these, I don't suspect any foul play with these.
I have been trying for past 10-12 days and have not been able to start the emulator, let alone write my first "Hello world" program.
Additional notes:
My system is a Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. Earlier I had installed 64 bit version of jdk, but the problem was present that time too. Now after searching on internet, I uninstalled that and installed 32 bit version of Java. But, again no use. One thing, though, this 32 bit version of Java (jdk 7 update 3), first install jre as part of jdk installation and then installs jre 7. So now I have 2 folders: jre and jre7 in the C:\Java32BitInstallation directory. Could this have to do anything with my emulator not turning up. Do I need to specify additional environment variables or modify the existing one?
BTW, did I mention the logcat shows nothing.
Update 25.07.2018:
The latest Android Studio version does not have this option anymore.
If the problem persists try to switch between the values of the "Emulated Performance" dropdown in the Verify Configuration dialogue (if available) or refer to the Configure Emulator graphics rendering and hardware acceleration.
Update 26.02.2014:
There are two hints in the Configuring Graphics Acceleration chapter from developer.android.com.
Caution: As of SDK Tools Revision 17, the graphics acceleration feature for the emulator is experimental; be alert for incompatibilities and errors when using this feature.
and
Start the AVD Manager and create a new AVD with the Target value of Android 4.0.3 (API Level 15), revision 3 or higher.
So Android 4.0.3 (API Level 15) seems to be the minimum requirement for graphics acceleration.
Original answer
I have had the same issue with the latest Android SDK.
I simply deactivated the checkbox "Use Host GPU" within the settings of the virtual device and it started working again.
The "Use Host GPU" does only work for me with Android 4.2 as "Target".
I have recently the same issue in emulator, Nexus 5 (Android O). I have go to Android Virtual Device Manager and Wipe User Data and it solved my Problem.
I had issues with getting the larger devices to emulate (Nexus7 and 10), while the phone sized emulators worked great. Would just keep getting a black screen with nothing for hours with the tablets. What helped was actually the OPPOSITE of what most people here are recommending: after setting the tick box for 'Use Host GPU' and setting the target to the highest android (4.4.2 at the time of this writing) the 7 and 10 work as expected!
Have you tried the power button :) ... it really worked for me. Actually emulator saves the device state before closing so at the last run if you switched off the device & closed the emulator then in the next run it will load previous state & display switched off phone aka blank screen. Although there might be many other causes of this issue.
Checking "Wipe user data" in the Launch Options fixed it for me.
Go to Android Virtual Device Manager->Select your device->Start->Check "Wipe user data"->Launch
Mac Users: Unfortunately, if you have an older Mac (late 2009 for example) and are using Yosemite, you cannot use HAXM for 64 bit architecture. According to the release notes on HAXM:
HAXM driver does not support emulating a 64 bit system image on Intel systems based on Core microarchitecture (Core, Core2 Duo etc.). All systems based on Nehalem and beyond are supported. (Corei3, Core i5 and Core i7 machines).
I spent a day trying to figure this problem out when I came upon this quote. The only thing that works is to use the non-x86 version of the latest OS (e.g. Lollipop Android 5.0.1 armeabi-v7a) in your AVD
How i solved the issue.. Open AVD manager, CLick on the drop-down arrow:
select >> wipe data after that u can select >> cold boot now..
It worked for me
Here is how i got it solved :
I ran the emulator with following command :
sudo /home/code/Android/Sdk/tools/emulator -avd Nexus_S_API_21 -netspeed full -netdelay none -debug-init -logcat '*:v'
and received the following in the output :
NAND: could not write file /tmp/android-code/TMP7.tmp, No space left on device. (similar error, could not reproduce it)
So, i just freed up some disk space from my /home directory in ubuntu (for windows free the C: drive space) and it then booted smoothly.
Do factory reset in "Android Device Manager".
In newer versions of Android Studio, this is called "Wipe Data", and it is in the right-click menu for the device in the virtual device manager.
Also had this issue out of the blue. Android studio was taking up 100% of CPU and in expo I had the following error:
Couldn't start project on Android: Error running adb: This computer is not authorized to debug the device. Please follow the instructions here to enable USB debugging: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/device.html#developer-device-options. If you are using Genymotion go to Settings -> ADB, select "Use custom Android SDK tools", and point it at your Android SDK directory.
Cold boot fixed it for me, like boltup_im_coding's answer. You can also cold boot this way if it's already running (with the black screen).
Make sure that you've installed the latest HAXM revision. I had the same blank screen problem with version 1.0.1 while 1.0.8 was already available. The installer can be downloaded via the SDK tools, to actually install the module you would have to execute
android-sdk-directory\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe
I changed it to always "cold boot" to fix my problem. Prior to this, when I ran adb devices it always showed as offline.
Had this issue on my Nexus 7,Nexus 10 & Pixel as well that means in all the emulators.
After days of struggling with this issue,
I figured it out finally.
Well, there are a lot of answers above which may work or may not for you because their configuration may vary slightly than yours.
I'll tell you my solution:
When creating those emulators, I checked Hardware - GLES 2.0 in Graphics for better performance.
And for me it was the issue.
If you've done the same then,
Go to AVD Manager -> Select your emulator -> Click on Edit configuration (in Actions column marked as pencil) -> in Emulated performance - Graphics -> Select Software - GLES 2.0.
Then click on Show Advanced Settings -> Set none for both Front and Back camera and hit Finish.
Now select your emulator in AVD Manager and click on Dropdown arrow in Actions column -> select Cold Boot Now.
And yay you're ready to go 😀
Helped for me (windows 10, intel):
Disable Hyper-V in windows
Uninstall HAXM ( "Intel Hardware Accelrated ..." in control panel)
reboot
Install HAXM using android studio (Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer) -> install)
Run emulator (Also you may try Wipe VD data/Cold boot VD)
By the sound of it you have a misconfigured device. If you do it will never start and never show anything in Logcat.
I'd recommend creating a new device using one of the default "Device Definitions" available in the AVD Manager. It's as easy as highlighting the device type you want in the "Device Definitions" tab and clicking the "Create AVD..." button, then filling out a few details. I'd start by adjusting "Internal Storage" to around 8GB and (maybe) an "SD Card" of 2GB while leaving everything else the same. Try starting the device and if you see "Android" pop up onscreen you're running. The first boot usually takes awhile so just hang on and watch Logcat for any issues (the "DDMS" perspective helps here).
If you still see a black screen with a default device definition you've got problems elsewhere that are causing the device to fail. Digging through logs may be your only chance if that's the case. You can always try re-downloading the ADT and re-installing the SDKs if nothing else works.
The goal here is to get you up and running with a (very) basic device, so don't shoot for uber impressive specs at this point, just shoot for trying to make it run. Once that happens try adjusting the settings one-by-one until you have it spec'd out the way you like. Just keep in mind that the emulator has its limitations and its no substitute for a real device (Although it works most of the time ;)
This is a known bug if you selected "Use host GPU" option while creating AVD.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28614
Uncheck the option and it should work!
Just try to set CPU/ABI on "Intel Atom (x86)" and deactivate the checkbox "Use Host GPU".
The Problems associated with the Black window of the emulator:
Happens when a new windows is installed. Problem associated with graphics of the windows is on the CD of windows .You have to Update windows and follow the following steps.
If Emulated Performance Graphics is (Software GLES then select it to-->Automatic)
Or
If Emulated Performance Graphics is (Automatic then select it to-->Software GLES)
this alternation can solve this problem.
I was having this issue on my Mac. When you create the device if you change "Graphics" from "Automatic" to "Software" it fixes the issue, or it least it did for me.
The following fix worked for me:
Locate the AVD folder in ~/.android/avd
Open config.ini
Replace the following settings with these values:
hw.gpu.enabled=yes
hw.gpu.mode=on
Save and close the file
Do not open the AVD settings screen within Android Studio or it will revert the above settings
Start the emulator
Thanks to Sunsugh Park for providing the fix.
I have reported this to Google at Black screen starting API 15. Please star the issue to get them to fix it.
Edit
Actually, while the emulator booted ok, it crashed after opening an app. So the emulator team must have disabled hardware graphics for a reason. Unfortunately, it appears to be impossible to get the emulator to work.
I had the same problem on API 28, and the fix turned out to be as below;
Enabling Skia rendering for Android UI
When using images for API 27 or later, the emulator can render the Android UI with Skia, which can render more smoothly and efficiently.
To enable Skia rendering, use the following commands in adb shell:
su
setprop debug.hwui.renderer skiagl
stop
start
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration#accel-graphics
I too got the same problem. When i changed the Eclipse from EE to Eclipse Classic it worked fine. in Win professional 64Bit.
Have a try it may work for you too..
For a workaround try Android 4.0.3 (API 15) with the Intel Atom (x86) image. I could capture DDMS screenshots with both "use host gpu" and HAXM enabled. Only this combination worked for me.
I also had the same problem. I figured out that the HAXM hardware accelerator was recently updated but not reinstalled since the update manager just updates the installer package which get saved to your hard drive. You will need to remove HAXM and then run that installer package to complete the update. Usualy this gets installed into ANDROID-SDK-ROOT\android-sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager. Where ANDROID-SDK-ROOT is the location where your android sdk is located.
For me, I had to turned off both front and back camera. Hope this helps!
I use Microsoft's lightning fast Android Emulators utilizing Hyper-V, and I had the same black screen for every Android emulator that I created no matter how I set the GPU Mode (auto, host, mesa, angle, swiftshader, off). Though my situation is apparently different form that of the OP, I thought it might be useful for those using Microsoft Android emulators and coming here after searching "android emulator black screen".
The solution in my case is updating all the Android tools:
Visual Studio > Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager > Tools
As of today (2019-02-01), Android emulators would have this black screen problem if you have a fresh install of Visual Studio 2017. VS shows notifications automatically for updates of NuGet packages, extension tools, etc., but NOT for Android tool updates. You have to check and update them manually.
I've managed to launch and debug an Android testing application on the Android emulator through Delphi.
I have Windows 7 64 bit, 4GB RAM, a dual core processor at 3GHz and Delphi XE 5.
Below is a link that I've prepared in a hurry for my colleagues at work but I will make it better by the first chance:
Debug Android Apps with Delphi
Forgive my English language but I am not a native English speaker. I hope you will find this small tutorial
I was having this problem after I got the blue screen of death while running my emulator. Here's my solution (for Windows at least). My solution is too completely re-install the AVD. The problem with the normal un-installation process for Android Studio is that it doesn't remove everything, so if your AVD files are corrupted, they will remain corrupted on re-install.
In order to fix this, I deleted two directories:
C:\Users\(My Username)\.Android
and
C:\Users\(My Username)\.AndroidStudio3.1
Then I re-ran in the installer.
I think this is the most foolproof solution if your emulator was previously working because it forces a complete refresh of the AVD component of Android Studio.
Another source of error could be the length of the PATH system variable (on Windows systems). Running intel based images with a PATH variable longer than 2047 characters, seems to pass an empty value of this variable to the console / emulator, so it cannot start correctly.
Here is an article describing this behaviour:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/limitation-to-the-length-of-the-system-path-variable
I had the same problem. Reducing the total length of this system variable to 1354 chars by removing unused / non-existent paths fixed it for me.
I had the same problem. Here's my solution (for Mac OS). I just downgrade the version of the Android Emulator (from 28.0.3 to 27.3.8). Here is a detailed instruction how to do it.
