Whenever I click the browser icon in the android emulator; I get the error message 'Unfortunately, Browser stopped working'. I tried couple of AVDs; but no success.
What exactly is wrong?
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 HAXM issues are often the result of conflicts with other virtualization technologies, incorrect settings, or an out-of-date HAXM driver.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.
Factory Reset you device should fix your issue. So, these are some of the method to Fix “Unfortunately, Browser has stopped” Error in Android. Feel free to comment below and let us know how you solved the issue.
Type the following command: adb devices. If the emulator is accessible from the Android SDK, the emulator should appear in the list of attached devices. For example: List of devices attached emulator-5554 device. If the emulator does not appear in this list, start the Android SDK Manager, apply all updates, then try launching the emulator again.
Some error messages may be displayed by the emulator when you deploy your app. The most common errors and solutions are explained here. If you see an error about a failure to install the APK on the emulator or a failure to run the Android Debug Bridge ( adb ), verify that the Android SDK can connect to your emulator.
If the virtual device you are running in the emulator does not have Google Play Services or Google Play Store installed, this condition is often caused by creating a virtual device without including these packages.
go into settings, apps, select Browser, and then permissions. Then simply enable "Storage" and you should be good to go.
Edit the Android Virtual Device settings inside your AVD manager that you are using and try starting your emulator with the "Use Host GPU" option enabled, this will help to fix your error with the browser.
For downloading files with the browser make sure you also add enough size to your SD Card option. After editing both settings, start Android and goto: Settings -> Apps -> Browser. (If needed force to stop the browser) then goto permission and enable storage permission to be enabled. This will fix your error with the browser when downloading files.
Make sure that you have set the SD card to have some storage capacity - set it to 2GB and restart the emulator. The browser won't work without SD card storage, in my experience.
Also, be sure to get logcat so you can see any future error messages.
I guess the bookmark data got corrupted somehow. Just go into settings/apps and clear the browser data. You will lose your bookmarks though. At least the browser doesn't crash anymore.
