Answer : I've had to do this recently on the API 23 emulator, and followed this guide. It works for API 23 emulator, so you shouldn't have a problem. Note: All credit goes to the author of the linked blog post (pyoor). I'm just posting it here in case the link breaks for any reason. .... Download the GAPPS Package Next we need to pull down the appropriate Google Apps package that matches our Android AVD version. In this case we’ll be using the 'gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip' package. You can download that file from BasketBuild here.

Answer : This is still "unanswered", but it probably has been resolved. I just want to share my experience and clarify a few things, some of which may not matter. Anyway, if this helps someone else that's great. 1) I had this problem on one machine (a new, but slower machine), but not another (the faster one) when running a 4.0.3 emulator. It is not a hardware problem though, and CPU speed doesn't make a difference. 2) Both machines are fully up-to-date ADT (Eclipse 4.2.x and Android 4.2.2 (API 17) SDK environments. 3) Editing, or even Deleting the emulator and then recreating it did NOT fix it. 4) The best solution is to locate and update the config.ini file. In Windows 7 (x64) I found the config.ini file in C:\Users \ [your user name] \ .android\avd\ICS_4.0.3_API_15.avd [*see AVD names below]. NOTE: First make sure you have “show hidden files, folder, or drives” turned on in Explorer or you won't see the ".android" folder. 5) Not s...

Answer : To enable root access: Pick an emulator system image that is NOT labelled "Google Play". (The label text and other UI details vary by Android Studio version.) Exception: As of 2020-10-08, the Release R "Android TV" system image will not run as root. Workaround: Use the Release Q (API level 29) Android TV system image instead. Test it: Launch the emulator, then run adb root . It should say restarting adbd as root or adbd is already running as root not adbd cannot run as root in production builds Alternate test: Run adb shell , and if the prompt ends with $ , run su . It should show a # prompt. Steps: To install and use an emulator image that can run as root: In Android Studio, use the menu command Tools > AVD Manager . Click the + Create Virtual Device... button. Select the virtual Hardware, and click Next . Select a System Image. Pick any image that does NOT say "(Google Play)" in the Target column. If you dep...

Answer : You are not on the Canary channel for Android Studio, so you are not receiving updates for the Automotive Image. Your Android Studio version is only receiving updates for stable releases of Android. This can be fixed by switching over to the Canary channel in the Android Studio Preferences or downloading the Canary version. Go to 'Android Studio >> Preferences >> Appearance & Behavior >> System Settings >> Updates'. From there you should a drop-down menu for "Automatically check updates for 'Stable Channel'". Go to the drop-down menu and switch over to 'Canary Channel'. Another solution is to download the Canary version of Android Studio listed here: https://developer.android.com/studio/archive. Look for the releases that are labelled 'Canary'. For Automotive OS (not Android Auto) you must add system image (at the moment only for Volvo Polestar 2 image) In Android Studio, select Tools > SDK Man...
