java - Android studio emulator fails to start with memory limit related error message

Question

I'm trying to run my first android studio project but I get this error message and the emulator doesn't start :

Created filesystem with 11/4224 inodes and 1302/16896 blocks
Failed to create Context 0x3005
emulator: WARNING: Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, using software renderer.
emulator: WARNING: Requested RAM size of 1536MB is too large for your environment, and is reduced to 1152MB.
emulator: device fd:544
HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode
emulator: The memory needed by this VM exceeds the driver limit.
Cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Invalid argument

Answer 1

• From Android studio open Windows->Select Android Virtual Device Manager->Chose your device->Click Edit button->Change the RAM parameter to 512 Mb in the Memory Options->Save and run the emulator it will work
• Else you may use Genymotion Android Vm: https://www.genymotion.com/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#!/download
