Android O (API 26) Preview Emulator doesn't start

Question

I downloaded the Android Studio 3.0 Canary 1 preview and used the AVD manager to download the Android O x86 system image. When I set up an AVD with the wizard, using the Pixel phone as the hardware. When I start the emulator, it just hangs on the boot screen forever.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Make sure to create a new virtual device instead of editing an existing one.

Answer 2

My OS is Debian 9. I have the same problem for API 26, but I can launch the emulator with API 25 without a problem thanks to this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42903352/6603006

If you have any problem with API 25 on AVD Manager, you can use Genymotion application. It's fast and stable.
