From this thread:

Fixed in https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/100192/ . If anyone needs a workaround: edit the following file in your Android Studio distribution: plugins/android/lib/device-art-resources/device-art.xml

On line 33, insert insert <!-- and on line 43 insert -->

In other words, comment out the two tv device definitions. They don't supply a portrait orientation, which is what is causing the crash in the screenshot code (when it searches for device art to surround the device with).

If you do this, note that you may get conflicts in a future update, so please copy the original file somewhere and restore it before updating to 0.8.2.

If your emulator is running Android 4.4 or I think 4.3, then screen capture functionality is broken -- you'll have to use a physical device to get screenshots on those OS versions. It works okay for Android prior to 4.3.

That bug is: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62284
