I have started a new emulator from 'launch new emulator' . But when I run another project later another emulator is getting loaded . Actually I wanted to use the same emulator itself.I there any option to reuse the same emulator and prevent new emulator being launched automatically.
You can run multiple emulators at the same time simply by running your app again. When the AVD manager pops up, instead of selecting your already running emulator, click 'Launch Emulator' and select another emulator to launch.
However, the heap size should not be less than 12 MB. 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.
host : Use the GPU on your computer for hardware acceleration. This option typically provides the highest graphics quality and performance for the emulator. However, if your graphics drivers have issues rendering OpenGL, you might need to use the swiftshader_indirect or angle_indirect options.
You can select this option in the emulator settings: On the emulator's navbar select the triple-dot icon. Go to Settings. Toggle the "Emulator always on top" option.
Instead of Run
use Run>Run Configurations>Target>Manual
and manually select the AVD that is already launched.
I often have this problem when i both have the physical device( a real phone) plugged in the pc and an emulator. You can put the devices list near the console and logcat views, so you can select here the right device to use (install the app and show the logcat).
Go in window -> show view -> other -> devices.
From there you can select which device to use (if nothing is selected, a new emulator is run following the target option you set following Mangusto's answer)
