HAXM configuration in android studio

I tried to run a simple Android chat app from GitHub. I think there's a problem with my HAXM configuration. When I run the app I see these errors:

HAXM is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode

emulator The memory needed by this AVD exceeds the max specified in your HAXM configuration.

emulator: AVD RAM size = 1536 MB

emulator: HAXM max RAM size = 768 MB

emulator: You might want to adjust your AVD RAM size and/or HAXM configuration to run in fast virt mode.

emulator: warning: opening audio output failed creating window 61 83 462 820

emulator: emulator window was out of view and was recentered

What is wrong?

The memory needed by this AVD should not be exceeds the max specified in your HAXM configuration.

  • It should be less than RAM set for HAMX.

  • Go to ~\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager \intelhamx_android.exe.

  • Reinstall intel HAXM and set its RAM to 1024MB.

  • Edit your AVD set its RAM to 768MB.

  • Build and run your application.

If you cant change the RAM via reinstalling it means you installed HAXM via Android Studios.

  1. Ctrl + Alt + S
  2. click on SDK Tools
  3. uncheck the box for Intel HAXM (Intel HAXM Installer)
  4. click Apply
  5. recheck the box for Intel HAXM and the program should now ask you to reenter the RAM Usage via slider or number

After re-installing HAXM with more (ideally more than 1536 MB) space solves the problem.

your HAXM RAM is lower than your AVD RAM.

Solutions:

  1. Re-run you HAXM installation and increase RAM to match that of AVD(emulator).
  2. Alternatively, decrease RAM of AVD(emulator) to match that of HAXM.

Reinstall HAXM with more RAM:

sudo $ANDROID_SDK/sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/silent_install.sh -u
sudo $ANDROID_SDK/sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/silent_install.sh -m 1024

Be sure when you increase your HAXM RAM configuration that your computer is able to handle this increased RAM. I use a 4GB RAM macbook pro that almost stopped responding after I increased HAXM RAM to 2GB. It may be a better option to decrease your AVD RAM.

You have to increase the amount of RAM memory in: Tools >> Android >> AVD manager

Select your AVD, press "Edit this AVD" and under Advanced settings set the amount of RAM to i.e. 1500Mb

That will do the trick
