Android Studio Error

savagesam117 · 22 Feb 2015 at 22:57

I thought i would have a go at making a simple app as i was bored last night, done some Googling and found Android Studio. Got everything installed and working, opened my first 'app' so to speak and then went to run the emulator and got a HAXM error. I done some more Googling and realized i had to turn on vitalization, done so, restarted when to do it again.. still got the error. Re-installed all that kind of stuff, still nothing. What am i doing wrong?

I saw that i had to enable VT-x and it says in my BIOS that it is supported but i can't find the setting for it.

This is on the PC in my sig..

Help me before i throw the bloody thing out of the window!

is Intel virtualisation enabled in BIOS?

Actually you didn't, you just said turned virtualisation on, no mention of where or how :rolleyes:

Are you running the latest mobo bios?

Other option would be to use eclipse rather than studio (I never got on with studio).

In my defense I thought that was the only way?

Yeah, everything is up to date. Yeah, i did start with that but i found an easier guide to follow that suggested Studio, so i thought i'd try that instead.

I've never done this before so have no idea what I'm doing.

If you're doing it to learn coding I'd personally go with eclipse. It may still be buggy but in my experience it's a damn sight better than studio.

Check out androidhive.com there's some great tutorials they may not be best practise but they're a great place to start. Or failing that straight from the developer guide you can't go wrong.

If you chose to use eclipse I should be able to point you in the right direction if needed.

Afaicr the android emulator requires haxm which requires vt-x.

You need haxm that you can get from the sdk manager. Download it and run the installer from the folder.

You can't have haxm and hyper-v installed at the same time.

To be honest, I've done some reading and I'm going to go with eclipse. I have no intention to learn coding, i just want a challenge, so i thought, i'll build my own app, most i've done coding wise is setting up server rules and that sort of stuff in minecraft.

Yeah, my cpu supports vt-x and i found this info in the bios but can't find the setting to turn it on? if that's possible?

I'll have a look through that link, i'm a pretty fast learner and don't mind jumping in at the deep end.

Thanks, that would be great.

Yeah I've checked it out and your cpu supports it but I can't find it in the mobo manuals :confused:

.

Wodon raises a good point though.

Hmm.. weird!

I'm fairly sure i do not have Hyper-v installed. I cannot find it on my PC.

Mynight · 23 Feb 2015 at 22:43

What os are you running?

You can also create an amoeba virtual machine. Doesn't need haxm but takes an age to load.

Ah right, that kind of stucks but may be the answer.

Windows 7 Pro. All the latest updates, mobo updated, gpu drivers, everything!

Also.. there doesn't seem to be any tutorials on android hive? or do i have to look through all the pages of the blog? Androidhive.com didn't work

I could be wrong but hyper v isn't compatable with win 7. So it's unlikly to be that.

Just downloading Eclipse now and i'll see if that changes anything. Hopefully it works.. can't see that happening but hey!

*crosses fingers*

savagesam117 · 23 Feb 2015 at 23:11

I now remember why i didn't use eclipse, i couldn't find the SDK to put into Eclipse or something like that..

Looks like android studio has become their IDE. How annoying I hope it's better than it was.

savagesam117 · 23 Feb 2015 at 23:17

I've just found that.. it's doing it's thing! Sorry for all the noob questions, i've never touched coding or anything before
