Answer 2

What worked for me is:

1. Check for and install any new updates. You specifically want to make sure that you're installing the newest version of Google Play Services. Also, you can check for the version of Google Play Services that you're using in the SDK Manager.

2. Delete all your emulators in the AVD (Android Virtual Device) Manager.

3. Create new emulator(s).
