Answer 1

You should try installing Android Studio 2.3.3 on Windows 10, 64-bit. I know that works at least.

Answer 2

I got mine to work doing the following:

• go to your current android SDK folder
• rename the tools folder to tools-old
• create a new Folder named tools
• download this: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/android-emulator/+archive/android-7.1.1_r1/windows.tar.gz
• unpacke it into your new tools folder

Make sure you have your AVD Options set to arm and not x86 and that "Use Host GPU" is enabled

After that the emulator worked.(note that it takes quite long to launche)

The suspected cause is that the Pepper emulator tries to use the emulator-arm.exe wich is not availible in the standart installation of Android Studio

Answer 3

I got this working finally thanks to theGary's hint above. No need to wipe out your whole tools directory though -- I was able to get the x86 Pepper emulator running (on Mac in my case) by copying these files and directories from the Android sdk/emulator directory into the sdk/tools directory:

• emulator64-x84
• qemu
• bin64
• lib/pc-bios
• lib/ca-bundle.pem

Then edit your run/debug configurations and change the “robot app” AVD options from armeabi-v7 to x86.
