Unable to start Android 4.4 AVD

Question

I guess the title is self explanatory. I created a AVD - Target - android-19 Device - 5.4" FWVGA Memory => RAM - 768 and VM Heap - 32 Internal Storage - 200

But I am not able to start it.

I copied the platform/android-19 folder from another laptop and also the android-19 system image. But I dont think that should be a problem. I can see the android-19 option in the drop-down but the AVD is not getting started.

Here is the screenshot while creating the AVD - enter image description here

Any ideas what went wrong?

@Amith - there is no error log. AVD screen is just blank. I am waiting for the past 15 mins for something to happen. — yashdosi, Jan 10 '14 at 10:13
@yashdosi did you also try to use the UI app for creating the AVD and even there it didn't work? — android developer, Jan 10 '14 at 10:16
@Amith - yes that happened but then I deleted that AVD. And created a new one with less RAM(768 - earlier it was 1024) and Heap(32). For this AVD, I could not see any errors. — yashdosi, Jan 10 '14 at 10:20
@androiddeveloper - i am using the eclipse's AVD Manager to create/start/delete AVDs. — yashdosi, Jan 10 '14 at 10:21
@yashdosi which CPU architecture did you use , and did you enable the GPU feature too? i think that if you use an Intel architecture and/or GPU feature, it can cause problems. try using the ARM architecture and disable the GPU feature. can you please show a screenshot of the creation of the profile ? — android developer, Jan 10 '14 at 10:23
@yashdosi - As stated in my below response, you must have checked the Emulation Options as Snapshot. Try that — Ramakishna Balla, Jan 10 '14 at 10:50
@Gem_Ram - still no luck! I tried restarting my laptop as well. — yashdosi, Jan 10 '14 at 11:09

enter image description here I'm attaching a screenshot for your reference:

CPU / ABI --> as per your available resource either Intel / ARM
Keep the RAM size to 512MB as 768MB is the maximum allowable and check if it works
Emulator options --> Check Snapshot feature
SD Card ---> 100MB is enough

Then start the emulator AVD. It should be up and running. If problems, try to restart the eclipse and re-start the AVD Emulator. sometimes, restarting really helps...

enter image description here

Please delete the existing AVD and create a new as per the image instructions. I've done it for you at my side newly with your requirement and it is up well as indicated in the image.

I believe you've updated your SDK through SDK manager as the latest is 4.4.2, if not, do that as well and check

All the Best !
