Android Studio 1.5.x for Mac is crashing randomly

Question

Android Studio 1.5 (AI-141.2456560) for Mac is crashing randomly quite often.

I'm using a Macbook Pro 15" Retina (mid 2105) and Mac OS X 10.11.1

It's really annoying. Have you experience these crashes? Do you know any workaround? Thanks in advance.

Here's the header of the crash log:

EDIT

1.5.1 also crashes all the time.

It's worth to mention that sometimes it crashes all alone without touching anything.

I've tried 2.0 Previews and they crash also but I think not so often.

Answer 1

In my case, I did not have a JRE installed. OS X Yosemite(10.10.5) drop it from a brand new install. Just download here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US and works fine.

Answer 2

This has to do with working with dual monitors on Mac. I have searched the internet and found some answers regarding the Emulator opening on the second monitor and making it crash. Try deleting the emulator .ini file from a hidden folder called .android, in the home folder of your Mac. This should sort of solve the problem.
