Until the last SDK release, my Android Emulator worked very nice with x86 architecture, installing Intel HAXM and enabling GPU for the device in AVD Manager.
With the latest SDK release, I reinstalled my Windows (from 8.0 to 8.1), tried both 1.06 and 1.07 Intel HAXM and my app freezes quite frequently.
It doesn't freeze to death, just the freezes/does not updates the screen anymore.
Especially if I'm swiping a ViewPager, then it freezes almost always in between pages.
BUT, if I click a menuitem on the AppBar, it refreshes itself and draws the destination ViewPage page.
I'd appreciate any advice, because right now app development via emulator became ultrapainful.
Fix 1 – Stop Emulator from AVD Manager From Android Studio, select “Tools” > “Android” > AVD Manager. Right-click the emulator you are using, then choose “Stop“. Try running the emulator again.
Checking for adequate disk space. To avoid crashes and hangs caused by not having enough free disk space, the emulator checks for sufficient free disk space on startup, and will not start unless at least 2 GB is free. If the emulator fails to start for you, check to see that you have adequate free disk space.
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 HAXM issues are often the result of conflicts with other virtualization technologies, incorrect settings, or an out-of-date HAXM driver.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.
My emulator froze and I couldn't fix it with the other answers, but this solved it:
Tools->AVD Manager
In the Actions column for your virtual device, click the white arrow on the right and then click Wipe Data.
This will clear the cache for the virtual device.
If your app depends on Google Play services, you will need to update it again
