You have gpu-host enabled and that may cause your error. Go to Android Studio -> Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager and then uncheck "Use Host GPU".

Can you please show a complete screen of ur AVD config panel? – Andreas Constantinou Feb 24 '17 at 08:59
You can find your answer here; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30686324/error-while-running-android-application-could-not-initialize-opengles-emulatio Basically you have to select 'Software GLES2.0' option on Emulated Performance and then restart ur AVD. – Andreas Constantinou Feb 24 '17 at 10:06
Currently it is Software GLES2.0 but not working - https://i.stack.imgur.com/wwlZJ.png – Vinodh Ram Feb 24 '17 at 10:20
