Answer 1

Go to Android SDK manager you need to download the Android m preview section.Then follow these steps

Step 1: Run AVD Manager and click on Create.

Note : Select a small resolution screen if your RAM is low.It will be a plus in case of performance part.

Step 2:Enter the Ram value to 1Gb if your system(Computer)RAM is about 4gb or RAM value as 2gb your system(Computer)RAM is about 6gb or 8gb.

Step 3:Select the device which you created now, press Start and select Launch Button.

Step 4:You should get a alert box showing that Successfully installed.

Step 5:An android device with android device booting up screen will be appeared and it will take time depending upon the RAM you allocated at the time of creating the Android Device in AVD.

NOTEmake sure not to run too many another programs while you trying to launch or using the emulator.(make sure the IDE is uptodate)

I had the same problem, I copied the system image from the default directory: C:\Users\eli\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\system-images\android-MNC\default\arm64-v8a

to the image root dir: C:\Users\eli\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\system-images\android-MNC\arm64-v8a

I restarted eclise, and now, I could see the android M and the arm64 system image.

Answer 4

You have sufficient files to create the emulator might be you are editing the existing emulator, i suggest try to create a new emulator, and try to keep the Ram consumption lower to get better performance.

Refer from the above link you can create your new emulator by following below steps Step-1: Go to Android SDK folder and run AVD Manager. Click on Create

Note: Use default value for Max VM application heap. As Android supports variety of displays, you can explore with different devices by selecting in Device: dropdown

Step-2: Select the virtual device which you just now created and click Start

Step-3: Do not make any change under Launch Options and click on Launch button

Step-4: Emulator will start a few Command Prompt windows flicker. You should now see the following screen, with the Android device booting up, which will take about five minutes

Step-5: You should now see a screen saying Emulator has been successfully installed

Your Windows/Mac PC should now be ready to get started with the Developer Preview.
