Answer 1

I don't have many "happy endings" with AVD. So I can't solve your specific problem

I suggest you to try Genymotion . It's an emulator too, but it use Virtualbox with a "image" of android, works fast and have more resources.

As well, if you can,it's good to use physical devices too

Sometimes virtualbox doesn't work well, so you can youse Bluestacks , it's another emulator, It's not property for debug, but you still can run your app.

Answer 2

When you encounter a glitch of this sort, sometimes all you can do is delete virtual device and recreate it. Especially after updating because you don't know exactly what's the cause of the problem.

Answer 3

This looks like an issue with the GPU emulation. In this case setting GPU emulation in AVD options to Software might help (Emulation Performance - Graphics) It won't be fast, but at least you would see some output.
