For some reason, running the AVD via command line worked, but I couldn't check Use Host GPU
. Thanks to Rusher who got this from https://stackoverflow.com/a/22213144/1896169 . See Running Your App | Android Developers for instructions on running via command line:
From the command line, change directories to
<sdk>/tools/
and execute:
android avd
In other words, typing this into command line should work:
cd whateverThePathToYourSDKIs/tools/
android avd
