Failed to start Android emulator on Mac

I am working on an Android project, I am using an android studio on my iMAC [Software OS X 10.9.5, Graphics Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024 MB, Processor 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5] ,

When I try to open my application on Android emulator, it will get this error -

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

I can find so many similar problems with the solution in Google and SO, but I can not use these solutions for MAC ???

I followed all the steps listed here , but no luck, the emulator still failed to start. I think there is something to do with mac os.

Can someone tell me how to do this on MAC?

thanks

First, make sure Intel HAXM is updated. You update it by opening the SDK and selecting it from the list. (Starting from 2016-07-08, the HASXM version for lattests 6.0.3).

Then on the Mac Android SDK, install: /Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/ , so you will need to run the script as sudo, as shown below:

sudo sh ~/Library/Android/sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/silent_install.sh

If all goes well, the script will print a message: "Silent installation Pass!"

Then restart Android Studio and launch the application with the desired AVD.

I know I'm late, but here everything goes.

  • Delete all the AVDs that you have.
  • Go to Preferences Android SDK SDK Tools
  • Remove Android Emulator
  • Restart Android Studio.
  • Reinstall Android Emulator from the same place.
  • Create a new emulator. And voila!

What I personally did was in the process of fixing this.

  • I really reinstalled the entire android studio.
  • Fixed my $PATH variables. Next this
  • Then I tried reinstalling Android Emulator , which worked for me.

Hope this helps.
