Can't change the Ram size in AVD manager android studio

Tags:

android

I'm not able to change the ram size in the memory and storage section of the AVD manager in the android studio. I wanted the emulator to run a little faster (I have 8GB RAM). The controls are completely gray out.

Here is the screenshot

How do I change my RAM to AVD?

Go to Tools->Android->AVD Manager , there's something like pencil to edit your AVD click on that, then in the pop-up window click Show Advanced Settings and there you can change the RAM size.

How much RAM do you need for AVD?

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.

If you create an AVD with "Recommended" system image then you can't change the "Memory and Storage" parameters neither when you create AVD nor when you edit your AVD.

enter image description here

Solution:

You should select your "Image" from "x86 Images" tab and then change "Memory and Storage" parameters in the next page.
