I installed Android Studio and fired up the default emulator (Nexus 5 API 23), but got the following error message:
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAXM must be updated (version 1.1.5 < 6.0.1).
It seems that a lot of people already encountered this issue and the solution would be to install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator, but in my case, it is already installed.
Another thing I read is:
After you download it and make sure you run the setup located in: {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe
I'm on a 2015 retina Macbook though, so this is not an option. Also when creating a new Virtual Device, the error message remains the same.
What can I do to get a working emulator?
Thanks in advance!
You should mount and run the IntelHAXM_1.1.4.dmg file located in {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
