Android emulator closes without warning

Question

I'm using Linux Pop!OS 19.04 and have tried installing the Android Emulator. It does start but it closes within about 30seconds every time.

I have Java 8 installed through 'OpenJDK-8-JDK' and I can successfully build Android packages and side load them onto my phone without a problem.

After installing the Android SDK into the /usr/local/android here is what I did;

1. Change into the tools bin dir

   cd /usr/local/android/sdk/tools/bin
   sudo chmod +x
   

2. Install system images (must be done as root)

   sudo ./sdkmanager "system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86"
   sudo ./sdkmanager --licenses
   

   Say 'y' to all sudo touch ~/.android/repositories.cfg

3. List available Android Virtual Devices to install (done as user)

   ./avdmanager list
   

4. Create a test Android Virtual Device (AVD)

   ./avdmanager create avd -n test -k "system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86"
   

   custom hardware profile: no

5. List AVDs

   Now I get the following when I list through avdmanager

   ./avdmanager list avd
   Available Android Virtual Devices:
       Name: test
       Path: /root/.android/avd/test.avd
     Target: Google APIs (Google Inc.)
             Based on: Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) Tag/ABI: google_apis/x86
   

6. Start emulator

   cd /usr/local/android/sdk/emulator
   ./emulator -avd test
   

It then loads the emulator and I can start applications and browse around until it just crashes/closes the program.

I tried installing Android studio and setting up the AVD through there, same thing happened. I've tried different models and android versions for my AVD, same thing.

Update: Log a crash

I managed to log a crash by using

$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator -avd test -gpu guest -logcat v

Work around

Create an alias which restarts the emulator everytime it crashes.

alias tnsa="tns run android --device emulator-5554"   # Run in emulator
alias em="$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator -avd samsung_galaxy_s8 -gpu guest -no-audio -verbose" 
alias eml="while true; do pkill -f android; sleep 2; tnsa &; em &> ~/emulator.log; done"

This is terrible, but what I'm currently working with.

Answer 1

The reason is you don't have enough disk space in your desktop where you have installed the studio with emulator.Try cleaning some space and rerun the device or it this doesn't help try creating a new emulator.hope it helps.

Answer 2

Your Bios might disabled the virtualization, you can enable it manually getting into bios and turn it on, bios is different in almost each device. Also the problem might be storage problem, no space, file corrupted or storage restricted by some program. Usually it will be Bios problem.
