Android 4.0.3 emulator crashes: Failed to allocate memory: 8

Tags:

android-emulator

The problem started when I changed the skin built-in display setting to WXGA720. Then everytime I'm trying to run the emulator it says the following message:

Starting emulator for AVD 'android403' Failed to allocate memory: 8 This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I already tried to lower down the RAM size to 800 MB and then 512 MB (or even 256) but it didn't work either...

I don't know what to do...

Here's a screenshot of the emulator settings window:

Thanx upfront.

I do sometimes have the same problem. Maybe my solution works for you as well: Instead of choosing the WXGA720 skin preset, manually set the resolution to 720*1280, and manually set the RAM to 768 or even 512. Seems stupid, but it makes a difference if the skin preset is uses or a manual resolution configuration.

I had the same problem. I have set the resolution manually to 720 X 1280. Set the RAM size as 128MB and SSD to 16 MB. The app came up without any problems after that
