i want to set up an android emulator, i downloaded android 4.4 (kitkat), tools, and all the extra's
the emulator is loading forever, its already loading for 2 hours, the android startup boot logo is not laggy, so the emulator is not slow.
I rebooted multiple times, and tried different devices
my emulator: device: 10.1" WGXA (tablet) (1280 x 800: mdpi) Target: android 4.4 - API level 19 CPU: ARM (armeabi-v7a) <--- cant change this Memory Options: RAM:768 VM Heap: 32 Internal storage: 4096 Emulation Options: use host GPU
Computer specs: 4.2GHz 8-core cpu 4GB ram and lot more
if i look in task manager it is using 15%cpu, 470MB RAM and 0MB disk speed

Google emulator uses ARM opcode, a kind of machine language. It must convert from ARM opcode to Intel opcode. That's why it's slow. The problem seems not to be RAM but CPU.
If the Android Emulator does not start properly, this problem is often caused by problems with HAXM. HAXM issues are often the result of conflicts with other virtualization technologies, incorrect settings, or an out-of-date HAXM driver. Try reinstalling the HAXM driver, using the steps detailed in Installing HAXM.
The emulator take some time to start, depending on the running machine and the amount of programs you are running on the host. Normally emulator 2 minute take to load the application for first time . To use emulator more effectively follow below tips. Is Android Studio the only tool to build apps?
However, the heap size should not be less than 12 MB. o Depending on your computer specs, the recommended ram size is in the range between 512 MB – 1024 MB. Although you can give more ram to the emulator but an actual android device would normally have 512 MB – 1024 MB for ram only.
when you're using the Windows OS, you have to set the RAM to 512Mb in order to get the AVD to run properly. Hope this helps as 2 hours is an awful long time for the emulator to load.
