I had the same problem but I fixed it by deleting .android folder from C:\Users\User\

Now everytime I start Eclipse or AVD, I delete that folder. After that everything works charm.

Stop the emulator --> Open ADV Manager --> Edit the Virtual device --> Click Show Advanced Settings --> Set the Ram size 512mb --> Start the emulator

Answer 4

It is quicker to export the file to your phone using USB cable, install it by selecting the .apk file with a file manager and run it from your phone. This also gives you "real" simulations of the app. It is quicker also. If your app has flaws, it is quicker to find them on your phone then wait for the AVD to load only to find your app doesn't work!

1. Goto File -> Export, select android folder then android application.
2. On the next page, select the application you want to export.
3. Create a keyfile and an alias.
4. Eject your phone, then open your file manager of choice, and click on the app.
5. Run using android package installer, you will need to enable no market application install in your settings
6. Open the app after the install is complete.
