Android 4.0.3 Emulator Crashes: Failed To Allocate Memory: 8

The problem started when I changed the skin built-in display setting to WXGA720. Then everytime I'm trying to run the emulator it says the following message: Starting emulator for

Solution 1:

I do sometimes have the same problem. Maybe my solution works for you as well: Instead of choosing the WXGA720 skin preset, manually set the resolution to 720*1280, and manually set the RAM to 768 or even 512. Seems stupid, but it makes a difference if the skin preset is uses or a manual resolution configuration.

Solution 2:

I had the same problem. I have set the resolution manually to 720 X 1280. Set the RAM size as 128MB and SSD to 16 MB. The app came up without any problems after that

Solution 3:

This may sound silly, but I resolved the issue by adding "MB" after the RAM setting, changing (for example) 1024 to 1024MB.

Solution 4:

I figured it out. The problem was in the amount of ram I had specified for the virtual machine, and it was 1024MB, now I have 512MB and it is ok. enjoy ;)

Solution 5:

I also faced the same problem for x86 emulator for android 4.0.3. This problems happens to me only when i try to launch emulator from eclipse. But works fine when i launched the emulator from command line. Try to launch the emulator from command line.

Go to android tool directory and use "emulator -avd " to launch your emulator.
