Android Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: goldfish_battery_read: Bad offset

Question

So, whenever I try to launch my app on the android emulator the IDE gets bombarded with this error:

Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: goldfish_battery_read: Bad of         


        

Answer 1

I had same issue for emulator running Oreo. Emulator won't boot up and throw message 'Emulator: qemu-system-i386.exe: goldfish_battery_read: Bad offset '.

I solved it by following;

1. Launch standalone sdk manager

2. Download "Google Play Intel x86 atom Image" under API 26 (OREO)

3. Launch avd manager from sdk manager > tools > manager avds.. (not from android studio).
4. Create or edit AVD.
5. Under CPU/ABI choose image "Google Play Intel x86 atom Image" (instead of "Google API Intel x86 atom Image")
6. Start AVD. It should work.
