emulator won't start in android studio for hours

Question

I know this question has already been asked but I gone through all the answers and can't find appropriate solution.

whenever I run any app it shows Waiting for device. C:\Android\sdk\tools\emulator.exe -avd Nexus5 -netspeed full -netdelay none and emulator doesn't start for hours.

• when I click the run icon on avd manager nothing happens.

• I have tried changing the RAM size to 768 MB as mentioned in a post... and tried deleting old avds and creating new ones but nothing works.

• emulators worked well with ecllipse but not in studio.

please suggest something to sort this out. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I finally figured out the solution... I installed HAXM on my system and my emulators are finally working .... check the link

Do check the prerequisites before installation
