I'm trying to start an AVD in Android Studio, but it just open a "Splash Screen" (where is written Android), and after, there's no progress. I searched about it, and I found some discussions about Intel's HAXM (Android Emulator with HAXM freezes on Mac OS Yosemite), I proceeded the installation, but didn't work.

Is there any another config that I should check it out?

That's my AVD settings:
API 23
Nexus 4
1GB (RAM)
64MB (VM heap)
Graphics: Hardware - GLES 2.0
Multi-Core CPU is checked

Intel x86 System Image (to Android 6.0) is installed too

I'm using a MacOS 10.10 (Yosemite) with 4GB (RAM)

Do you have Docker for Mac installed by any chance? I was just facing the exact same issue and stopping Docker fixed the problem...

    We're in 2017 and still the same issue. Thanks for that - would have never guessed it's the Docker's fault. – Tomasz Mikus Mar 20 '17 at 15:43

    I had the same issue with Docker. Never would have figure it out if it wasn't for this answer. – Alan May 04 '17 at 23:04

  • Brilliant! Hope either the Android guys or the Docker guys fix this before 2018 – superarts.org Jul 28 '17 at 02:42
  • This is the error message I receive: _Emulator: Warning: Quick Boot / Snapshots not supported on this machine. A CPU with EPT + UG features is currently needed. We will address this in a future release._ – AdamHurwitz Jan 05 '19 at 17:54

As I'm not allowed to comment on the above answer, just to add my own experience. Both Docker and minikube - which will admittedly run it's kubernetes containers using docker - need to be stopped for the emulator to work.

    It might not be quite as blunt as the previous answer, but the information is similar, and provides another case where software on a mac can stop the android emulator from working. Which is a direct answer to the question. – Joel Oct 27 '17 at 11:31
