How? Adding “-use-system-libs” at the end of the command. Solution? Very easy: to use the system libraries instead of the packaged in Android Studio. As it is explained here, it seems that Google packaged with Android Studio an old version of one library, and the emulator fails when it tries to use my graphic card. In my case, the application says that there is a problem loading the graphic driver (“ libGL error: unable to load driver: r600_dri.so“). If everything is ok, the program doesn’t start, and it writes in the terminal the concrete error. You can see the name of your (previously created with AVD Manager) emulators with this command. emulator -avd EMULATOR_NAME -netspeed full -netdelay none So:ġ – Open a terminal and go to this folder: ~/Android/Sdk/toolsĢ – Start the emulator with this command. I think the best way to find the concrete error with the emulator is to start it within a terminal. And what’s the cause of that? As you can see, there could be many causes. It seems that “Waiting for target device to come online …” is a generic message that appears, always, when the emulator can not start properly.
For this you could copy and paste your command line from “Run” or “AVD” Android Studio console. You need to discover the reason of this… You could run your emulator from the command line. I had a similar problem… Android Emulator doesn’t open.
