I was working fine with Android Emulator (on Manjaro Linux) a few weeks ago, but after updating software The GUI of Android Emulator is not rendering or anti-aliasing is not working anymore. My apps are displaying horrible texts.
I'm using Hardware-GLES 2.0 for my graphic emulator.
Additional info:
Is there another alternative Android emulator working with Visual Studio Code?
ANSWER: Android Studio's Android emulator is not an efficient emulator, a better emulator is Genymotion.
I had a same problem. Downgrading Android Emulator to lower version solved the issue.
Latest version (before 30.9.5) that I could find was 30.8.4 with build id 7600983.
In order to downgrade firstly you will need to download the emulator. Here are the links for the version 30.8.4:
Linux - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-linux_x64-7600983.zip
MacOS - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-darwin_x64-7600983.zip
Windows - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-windows_x64-7600983.zip
You can also download even older versions here are few alternatives
After downloading the needed version of emulator you will need to unzip it.
The next thing is to replace your current emulator with new one.
Go to your Android Sdk folder (mine was ~/Android/Sdk)
cd ~/Android/Sdk
Rename your
current emulator files folder. mv emulator emulator.bak
Copy new
emulator
cp -r ~/Downloads/emulator-linux_x64-7600983/emulator/ .
Replace package.xml file (otherwise Android Studio will not
recognize your new emulator)
cp emulator.bak/package.xml emulator/package.xml
Restart your Android Studio and Enjoy!
Seems like this issue was fixed with newest major 32 version of Android emulator.
Newest 32.1.6 and 32.1.7 Canary 1 versions behave like the things were before 30.9.5 which broke anti-aliasing completely for me on all Windows devices. I am using Hyper-V so HAXM is not available for me.

for some reason, I don't want to install android studio(one of them is I don't have enough space for now) but instead, I want to work with vscode and nox(or genymotion). and my question is: Is it possible to connect vscode and an (android and ios) emulator to see the result? in other words, I want to connect the nox as an emulator to vscode and see the result inside of it.
Android studio take too much space and even my computer also become hot when open Android studio. But what I did I installed Android studio and Android emulator but I don't use Android studio rather I use VScode.
So as far as I know you need Android studio to install emulator then you can use VScode with it.
Finally, I found out how I can connect Genymotion to the VS Code(without Installing Android Studio).in total SDK manager wasn't installed on my laptop, so at first, I installed it. and then
Platform Tools (ADB & Fastboot)
Install Platform
Add System Image
Install Build Tools
but wait I just name the steps I've done. you can follow this article on this link to get more details.
and finally, instead of installing an emulator, I used Genymotion with Flutter in VS Code, which you can follow in this article to get more information. Click here
Android Studio 4.2.1 on Windows 10. Latest stable Flutter version.
If I create a Flutter project I have no database inspector, no profiler and no emulator window, no evd manager under tools menu. Also Device File explorer is gone and i cannot search my database adb file.
Flutter doctor gives no error.
Everything worked fine until the upgrade to 4.2.1
What’s going on? how can i get those tools back? Thank you
I'm using VS Code as my IDE for Flutter and I'm trying to run my app in a Genymotion machine. How can I do that? The machine doesn't appear in VS Code bottom bar in the Devices section.
N.B:
I'm not looking for any solutions regarding Android emulators or Android Studio, only VS Code with Genymotion.
Alright, so after an hour or so of searching I found out the solution. It's entirely the same as the approach of using Genymotion in Android Studio. The only difference is you don't need to install a plugin for VS Code. However, in my case, it was a bug in Genymotion it self. I was using v3.0.1 which had some incompatibility bug with Android SDK 28 and this was the reason why the Genymotion machine did not show up as a device in VS Code, because this latter relies on Android SDK to determine what are the devices that run Android.
The solution for me was simply upgrading my Genymotion to v3.0.2 which fixed the incompatibility with Android SDK 28.
In case anyone runs into this problem in the future and this doesn't work, make sure that your Genymotion ADB settings use the Android SDK installed in your machine by Android Studio and not the one shipped with Genymotion itself.
Yesterday I've created Pixel 3 XL device to test my app on emulator. It was working yesterday but today I'm getting these errors when I try to run my app.
14:58 Emulator: C:\Users\Mert\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\qemu\windows-x86_64\qemu-system-x86_64.exe: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'goldfish_pipe'
14:58 Emulator: deleteSnapshot: for default_boot
14:58 Emulator: Process finished with exit code 0
for me, I have installed a newer version of HAXM and it worked perfectly
Deleting device from AVD Manager and creating a new one(I created the same one) worked for me
Download the google play version marked in yellow rather google API.
Creating emulator again with image from google play will also make sure reinstallation of HAXM.
I solve this issue within Android Studio SDK Manager, update to a newer version of Android SDK Build-Tools and Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer), in the HAXM installer wizzard I put 4GB RAM size.

In my case I deleted the old devices and downloaded the Google Play play version image and manually changed adb.exe file.
Actually the working HAXM version isn't always the newests, as other answers suggest. I had HAXM version 7.8.0 (latest version ATM) installed on my Windows, but even though I was getting the question error (error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'goldfish_pipe'). I had it installed via its own installer, outside Android Studio, because I was getting error trying to install HAXM via Android Studio.
Then I had the idea to uninstall that latest version (7.8.0 ATM) and again try to install the version shown in Android Studio (7.6.5 ATM) via Android Studio itself, and it worked! So I realized the steps I needed to take in order to successfully install HAXM via installer (step 1 shown here) also fixed the problem trying to install it via Android Studio! And finally, after hours and hours of harrassment, I could successfully launch a virtual device on the emulator.
Below is the step for successfully installing HAXM (taken from here):
At last but not least, make sure you have no other virtual machine running! It would throw you at this thread's error.
My case is:
disable Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) in Android Studio SDK Manager
uninstall HAXM as a result
enable again Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) in Android Studio SDK Manager
install HAXM as a result
recreate emulated AVD
finally works for Me
Android Studio 3.2.
I create 2 emulators by Android Studio. Nice.
But the question is:
Is it possible to create android emulator WITHOUT Android Studio?
Our QA need to use emulators for test our applications. But it not need Android Studio.
How QA can create android emulator without Android Studio?
There are a lot of 3th party emulators out there, which are quite easy to use and fast to set up. Just have a quick look in your favorite search engine. But here is a short list of better known ones:
BlueStacks
Genymotion
Nox App Player
MeMu
ARChon
KoPlayer
They should all be able to run your app on a pc to show someone. Have a look on them and inform yourself about the licensing and features.
1 - Download Java JDK from the following link and install: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
2 - Download the Android SDK from the following link and install: https://android-sdk.uptodown.com/windows/descargar
3 - Download Intel HAXM from the following link and install: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-intel-haxm
4 - Start the SDK Manager, install the tools and platforms you need.
5 - Start AVD Manager and create new emulator.
Yes, we can setup Android Emulator without installing Android Studio. We have to download commandline-tools and use sdkmanager, avdmanager, emulator tools to make an emulator and run it.
