Ok. Well, it doesn't actually say that a virtual device has failed to load. I t merely explains the symbols that might show up in the list of the devices. (either a repairable device or a device that failed to load) That's a common source of confusion. Did you click on start to boot the virtual device?

Do you mean the error at the bottom of the screen? This doesn't regard the emulator, but says you didn't set an id to the view in the xml file. Maybe you refer to a button that doesn't exist or a wrong id?

If you fix that, it should work!

No, I mean the "A repairable Android Virtual Device. X An Android Virtual Device that failed to load. Click 'Details' to see error.". After clicking the details button, The window on the right side was the result.

The emulator that is being shown on the video tutorial is not starting on my mac.

Btw, Thanks for your response and hope you can help fix the problem.

Yes, I did clicked the start button to load the virtual device, but the emulator didn't start.

One more information that may have relative problem, after installing and running the Android Studio I have downloaded from the tutorial links, I always got an error "'studio' can't be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.". So to solve this issue, I use terminal window and use command "sudo [show_package_contents]/Contents/MacOS/studio.app".

If these problems are hard to solve, will there be any issues If I use the latest stabled version of Android Studio when continuing to take the Android Lessons?
