Cannot install .apk file on emulator

Question

The Issue:
I'm using Android Studio on Win8 platform to develop my new android application. I can upload and install the apk on my physical device (Samsung Galaxy S4-mini Dous) with no problem. But, when I want to upload and install it on Emulator, it gets stock and wait for ever!

What I have done:
- I used Eclipse to see if the issue is related to Android Studio, but the same result.
- I increased the ADB connection timeout value; no success.
- I used adb in command-line mode tp install the package; no success again.
- Searched through StackOverflow site (and some other sites) to see if there is any answer to similar issue, didn't help.

My Situation:
Actually AVD is needed to run some optimization tools (which is not working for physical devices). I would appreciate if somebody can help me fixing this issue.

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Answer 1

I came up against this recently. Turns out I was running out of internal storage on my emulator. Edited the configuration and increased internal storage and it worked.
