Why the HAXM configuration memory is too low “969 MB”? It is not compatible with AVD API level 23 which require 1 GB RAM

Question

This is the error messages shown in Android Studio 1.4 console

emulator: WARNING: Increasing RAM size to 1GB
emulator: device fd:560
HAXM is not         


        

Answer 1

You should run HAXM installer from <android-sdk-location>/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/ and during installation set amount of RAM available to HAXM to 1024 MB or more.

If there is not extras/intel directory then launch Android SDK Manager, go to Extras, select Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer) and press Install.

Answer 2

It is the first time you try to open the emulator, in my experience why i receive that warning its because i saturate the memory with others app, make sure you close other instances and clear the memory.

Other thing you can try its in the menu of AVD Manager, in the advanced settings increase the memory RAM of the virtual device you have configured.

I hope this can help you.
