I created a brand new emulator today but it is behaving weird today. Here is my setting:
When i start it up, it loads fine. Until it gets to the lock screen. I keep on dragging/swiping from bottom to top to unlock, but it wont! This is the first time I encountered such behaviour. I tried with target Android 6.0 - API Level 23
but was able to unlock. I want to test my app on Google API 23. Please help to figure out the proper setting values.
Happened to me as well.
Another solution in addition to what @TTRansmit suggested is as below:
- Close emulator.
- Go to AVD manager screen, edit your Emulator and go to
Advanced Settings
.
- Select
Cold boot
as Boot option located in Emulated Performance
section. This way you will be able to restart your emulator and get it unlocked without loosing data.
I still did not solve this problem, somewhat. To get thru, what I did was I activated the Camera emulation then relaunched the emulator. On the lock screen, I dragged the Camera icon. The camera would crash and emulator would notify you about it thru a pop up dialog. Once you exit the dialog, it will go back to your homepage UNLOCKED! I know, it was weird but it worked.
Power off (via holding power) on the device buttons and wipe data (from Android Virtual Device Manager) worked for me. It was turning off the Device Frame from the edit/Virtual Device Configuration screen of AVD that seemed to cause the problem.
