Android Virtual Device loading then not appearing

Issue

I have recently fixed the 'd:skin' problem in eclipse. I have recently started learning android programming. I want to test an application so i open up the AVD manager create an AVD and i click start it takes about 15 seconds for the bar to get from 0% to 100%. The Loading window closes and no Virtual Device comes up. No error message nothing. I am running a Mac with 4GB RAM.

Solution

You state:

The Loading window closes and no Virtual Device comes up.

It sometimes comes up after a long time. Eventually, it will probably come up. If it still doesn't, take these steps:

• Restart ADB
• Restart IDE
• Restart Computer

Because you stated that the loading window does come up, it is probably going to show up. After it does, I'm going to assume it looks something like this:

So, if you're lucky, this thing will start in 5 - 10 minutes. If you're anything like I was, it will never start, and you'll give up and download GenyMotion instead. GenyMotion emulator will run in about 30 seconds. It is still laggy, but a lot better than the default android one.

Let me know if this helped! :)
