How to use Android Emulator on AMD Ryzen (Android Studio)?

Question

I try to build Android app from Android Studio.

I tried to install HAXM from Android Studio installer but I've an error:

Intel Virtualization Technology is already enabled in my BIOS. And the Hyper-V is already disabled on Windows 10.

Answer 1

Hyper V available only in PRO or Enterprise versions) Not Home one.

Answer 2

I have the same problem as well. Check and uncheck Windows Hypervisor Platform and Virtual Machine Platform does not help except to crashing my windows machine. Try :-

Open windows settings and disable

Core Isolation

in windows settings. It does not work right away because I still need to set up other things like gradle and jdk versions but that is one thing to do for Ryzen machine I believe

Answer 3

I am using AMD processor too and this happened to me like you. Before doing this, make sure to enable 'virtualization' on BIOS.

The solution was:

1. Click the 'three dots' beside the triangle button of the emulator
2. Find 'Show on Disk'
3. Delete all data in the folder
4. Go to Tools -> SDK Manager
5. Click SDK Tools tab, and make sure 'Android Emulator', 'Android Emulator hypervisor driver', and 'Android SDK Platform-Tools' are clicked.
6. Click apply/ok
7. After it is done, click 'Create Device' on emulator.
8. Choose Pixel 4 (or any if you want), but in my case, I chose Pixel 4
9. Click next, and click tab 'Recommended', choose the lowest API (in my case is Nougat)
10. Next, name it and finish.
11. Now try click the triangle button of the emulator. It should work now (at least for me).

Late to the party but if there are more like me who never got this to work, this got it to work: https://www.py4u.net/discuss/646511

If you tried everything (turning windows features off, enabling svm in bios..etc) and still didn't work, type bcdedit in the command prompt, and press ENTER. If you see an entry for hypervisorlaunchtype set to Auto, Hyper-V is still enabled. You can try setting the launch type to Off by running the command below.

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Answer 5

I just purchased a Ryzen 5 laptop with Vega 8 video and was having alot of problems running the Android Studio emulator; in the end the problem was resolved and it was very simple.

1. Enable SVM or other virtual machine setting in the BIOS.

2. Disable all hypervisor and virtual machine features by going to "Turn features on / off" in windows.

3. Ensure you checkmark the AMD driver and uncheck HAXM in "SDK Tools" is SDK Manager.

   And most important:

   It is said that the latest update of Android Studio automatically installs the AMD driver once selected, however I found this not to be the case so the last step you need to do manually just to make sure.

4. Run: C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\Android_Emulator_Hypervisor_Driver\silent_install.bat

Answer 6

For Ryzen on Windows 10, use the latest stable instead of canary.

1. Enable virtualization in BIOS.
2. Remove HAXM.
3. Turn off Hyper-V, Windows Hypervisor platform, Windows Sandbox(depends on your windows version, old versions may not have all). REBOOT

1. Launch SDK Manager via Android Studio and you should see "Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors". Check and click "Apply". The SDK Manager will download the installer package and unpack it to $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT\extras\google\Android_Emulator_Hypervisor_Driver.

Then,

1. Open a Windows command console with administrator privileges.
2. Go to $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT\extras\google\Android_Emulator_Hypervisor_Driver.
3. Run silent_install.bat. Make sure you see the desired output from the installer: STATE: 4 RUNNING

Answer 7

Use the Android Studio Cannary for this. I was with the even issue and it fix for me. Watch the video for help to configure it.
