Android studio emulator

Hello. I'm currently programming an app in Android Studio. For preview, I'm using the emulator within Android Studio itself. Shortly after running the app, the emulator always closes, and I have to run the app again until the emulator closes again. Does anyone know what might be causing this and what I can do about it? Thanks in advance

Which emulator are you using? Perhaps another device might work in a stabler manner. My other recommendation is to always check the Android Studio FAQs, they have lots of info.

The problem was the android version. I used android 13. After creating a pixel 8 with android 14 everything works fine.

You could try a hello world program to see if the emulator works.

There is a problem somewhere in 1a. your code 1b. The installed emulator My first step in finding out which is to use a real android device and observe the same issue 2a. if the issue does not persist - its definitely 1b 2b. If the issue persist - it is 1a and this can be challenging depending on what the error is. From experience, i can predict this is from a container (array, list) etc otherwise just write unit test for the app and continue your findings it a good practise to always test the source code btw

There is a hello world program by default. Even with or without the button (also by default Hello world program) the emulator crashes. I think my code isn't the problem because when I just add a button without any code the emulator also crashes. I think the emulator is the problem. I'll try another one and then report here if this was the solution.
