Android Studio - HAXM is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode

This error occurs when your Android Virtual Device (AVD) memory is larger than the space that was specified for Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM).

How to Resolve?

Step1: Click SDK Manager and see whether HAXM is installed

If it’s not installed get it installed from Android Studio. If it’s already installed feel free

Step2: Go to the path highlighted in the error log. In my case it’s C:\Android\sdk

Navigate to C:\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and start the setup file

Don’t change the memory size here. Just note down the space used by it

Step3: Click AVD Manager in Android Studio and check the size of your AVD

a.       Select AVD Manager from Toolbar and select the AVD (Nexus/Your test AVD) and click Edit and then choose Advance Settings. 

Change the memory size to the space that was specified in HAXM (1024 MB = 1 GB) and click on Finish

Running your project again will do the trick.
