Problem with emulator after new ADT update

Question

After updating to ADT 12, at first it seemed ok, then I got some problems like these:

Emulator runs improperly and gives the problem I report below.

I tried to use the quick code from XML windows and it mingles the codeline. Has anyone encountered the same problems?

This is the error I got in the console after trying to run a project:

Answer 1

Delete all the "*.lock" dirs in your AVD directory, i.e. [...]/.android/avd/[youravd].avd

Answer 2

You will sometimes also need to delete snapshots.img

Path to AVD folders on Windows 7 is:

C:\ Users \ (YourUsername) \ .android \ avd \ (YourAVDsName.avd) \

Answer 3

Delete userdata and sdcard image files from avd folder.That will fix this error for me

Answer 4

To clear the "already in use" problem without losing the state of your AVD, the specific files you need to delete are the "pid" files in the .lock directories under YourAVDName.avd. I did this while the AVD was not running, but I didn't test it without closing the AVD, so I don't know for certain if that is necessary (though it seems logical.)

Answer 5

clear your eclipse AVD (delete data with *.lock files)
