I hope someone can help.

I can't start my AVD:

enter image description here

enter image description here

My development environment is running in a guest of a vmware-workstation.

It was already running for about 2 years in my VM, so I am sure that should be possible. I don't know since when it is not working.

I also reinstalled the entire Android-SDK, but still the same problem.

Do someone has a hint ?

Suggested "duplicated" question doesn't help, because it says that the avd must run on a real hardware and not in a VM, but my AVD runned 2 years in my VM, so I am sure it would work. (In the meanwhile I had some Windows7 Updates and also installed SDK 22, but I don't see any problem with it ? )

  • I don't think so. I checked a lot of AVD errors in stackoverflow, but nothing helped. referenced link says its only possible on real hardware and not in VM. But I know it worked in the VM, because I worked now more then 2 years in the same VM and with the simulator too. Its strange thats its not working anymore :-( – mcfly soft Apr 23 '15 at 17:53
  • I went a bit further on this. I updated to Workstation 11 and checked the "Accelerate 3D graphics" in the "Display" option in the "Virtual Machione Settings". I see device is starting but it stocks with the black screen and the "Android" text in it. Will research further... – mcfly soft Apr 24 '15 at 06:07

I am not sure what was the real reason to solve the problem but I did the following :

  • I had Workstation 9 and I updated to Workstation 11. ( I don't think thats needed )
  • I checked the "Accelerate 3D graphics" in the "Display" option in the "Virtual Machine Settings" (I guess this has done the trick, but failed before of wrong sequence trying stuff)
  • I created a new AVD

It took about 10 Minutes to start the AVD but it worked.
