Starting emulator for AVD 'emu' Failed to allocate memory: 8 This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

This following solution worked for me. In the following configuration file:

C:\Users\<user>\.android\avd\<avd-profile-name>.avd\config.ini

Replace

hw.ramSize=1024

by

hw.ramSize=1024MB

If not work above then setting below.

hw.lcd.density=160
sdcard.size=300M
skin.path=1980x1080
skin.name=1980x1080
hw.cpu.arch=arm
abi.type=armeabi-v7a
hw.cpu.model=cortex-a8
vm.heapSize=48
hw.ramSize=1024MB
image.sysdir.1=system-images\android-16\armeabi-v7a\
