Apps Android Studio 1.5.1 AVD Crash on Run ?

[ac4android]

Hi.

I am running Android Studio 1.5.1 in Windows 7 on a Dell i7 with 8 GB memory of which I have allocated 2 GB to Android, presumably its exclusive sandbox.

I've created a simple Gradle and downloaded several system images to test the various o/s versions.

I have created 2 Android Virtual Devices for :
Nexus 4 API 21 (arm)
Nexus 5 API 23 x86
The intention is to test the Java code using each of those environment.

Next I clicked Run -> Run 'app' -> checked launch emulator and selected Nexus 4 API 21 -> OK

Studio displayed the AVD and I can see various apps loading e.g. time, battery charging etc.

Then, after a few minutes, it crashed with a lot of messages saying "...too much work..."

Here is a sample from the console:

What have I done wrong and how do I fix it?

Perhaps delete the other AVD, the Nexus 5 ?

Do you get a pop-up with a message "the application has unexpectedly stopped"?

Is there a stack trace message in your logcat view?

 

[ac4android]

No, I did not get that message "the application has unexpectedly stopped".
The odd part, the AVD starts up and is responsive.
Prior to throwing those error messages in logcat, it says:
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.hfad.myfirstapp"
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.hfad.myfirstapp
Success
etc...

then the error messages, but why is the AVD working?

Code for MainActivity.java follows

package com.hfad.myfirstapp;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton;
import android.support.design.widget.Snackbar;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
        fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                        .setAction("Action", null).show();
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

I managed to capture the first part of the logcat msg, the AVD works fine after that.

I am beginning to think it is just some idiosyncratic Studio behaviour
