Creating Android virtual device
Unable to create a virtual device: Unable to create Android virtual device

I'm running Android studio for the first time in Windows 7.

Screenshot:

And after opening the Andriod studio and running a sample app, I get the error

Error while waiting for device: Could not start AVD

Why is it unable to create a virtual device and how can I solve the problem?

Solution

  • Even though I don't know what exactly caused the avd creation problem in a new laptop. I did exactly the same thing as user @Jamalla posted. I clicked finish and tried to run my sample app in the existing emulator. As Jamalla pointed out the config.ini file was corrupted. So I deleted the existing AVD and created a new one. But I couldn't start it either because my VT was not enabled in my BIOS.

    After enabling my VTx in BIOS menu I was able to start the AVD with no issues.
