I/SurfaceFlinger(17248): SurfaceFlinger's main thread ready to run. I/SurfaceFlinger(17248): SurfaceFlinger is starting I decided to pause the emulator to examine the log.įound and followed Christoper Orr’s advice here: telnet localhost 5554Ĭhecked the LogCat messages and noticed this section: I/ServiceManager(16997): Waiting for service SurfaceFlinger. LogCat showed a lot of messages and they seemed to repeat over and over. To investigate I connected Android Device Monitor to the emulator. It just showed a black screen with no apparent progress. I recently experienced a situation where Android Studio’s x86 emulator would not start.
