xamarin android emulator not able to start

Question

I am unable to run my Xamarin project in the android emulator there is no start button just an error. The repair option is grayed out and the only option I can do is Duplicate which says I need to repair? if I try and install a new device I get an image failed message.

Is there anyway to fix this? Or delete and reinstall?

Answer 1

• Select x86 instead of x86. HAXM works with x86
• Check your installed SDKs in Android SDK manager within Visual Studio if API 28 is missing download it. You need below 3 highlighted in order for x86-64 to work

If above doesnt work

• Best option now is to repair Visual Studio with Android SDK
• If that does not work uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio.
