I tried to update my android TV SDK, but ran out of memory and had to cancel the install. When I tried to run an app later, I got this error:
Cannot reload AVD list: Premature end of file. Error parsing /home/USERNAME/.AndroidStudio1.4/sdk/system-images/android-23/android-tv/armeabi-v7a/devices.xml Premature end of file. Error parsing
The devices.xml file was empty. There's the problem!
To solve this, first I cleared up some memory on my computer and completed the update. I still got the error. I wasn't really using the SDK so I uninstalled it and restarted Android Studio. Still got the error.
Finally, I deleted the whole /home/USERNAME/.AndroidStudio1.4/sdk/system-images/android-23/android-tv/ folder. The error finally went away. If you're actually using the SDK, you can always install it again with the SDK manager.
