Android Emulator: Unfortunately Launcher has stopped

Question

Since the last update of my Android Studio and my SDK packages, I get this error whenever I start the emulator. Please check the screen shot below.

My logcat reports these as error statement:

The things I have tried out: 1. Deleted the emulator and created it fresh. 2. I found some answers on StackOverFlow talking about Hardware keys. did that too.

Answer 1

I had the same problem the problem was I use image on drawable that not support different screen sizes as app icon so I changed to default icon of android studio and rebuilded the app and it now working enter image description here
