No space left on Android Emulator

I have been developing my app for around two months, in the last week i have started getting the following error when trying to compile and run the app from Eclipse:

java.io.IOException: Unable to upload file: No space left on device

The APK comes out at 3.6Mb and the emulator is a recently created fresh one with 512Mb SD card and other specs identical to the G1.

Can anyone suggest a reason this开发者_运维百科 might be happening?

The apps are installed in /data/apps. Make sure that your data partition size is big enough to support your app. The command for running the emulator will be

emulator.exe -avd <AvdName> -partition-size 512 -no-snapshot-load

Partition size will set size of system and data images in MB. You can change 512 to a greater value depending on your needs. -no-snapshot-load ensures that you are not booting from a snapshot and thus you see the new partition size.

I've had that happen before, and I solved it by creating a new virtual device as Mr. Hedlund suggests. I didn't spend time trying to figure out why it happened, but creating the new device allowed my app to upload. My application is nearly twice as big as yours, and it uploads fine most of the time. Try deleting and re-creating the emulator as Mr. Hedlund suggests. It's worked for me on several occasions... Being new at Android development, I'm suspicious that I've been running into that issue due to resource leaks, but I haven't chased the problem down yet because I'm still concentrating on getting my app to work correctly... Hope this helps!

wipe data from avd manager. it will fix the problem. for visual assistance you can follow http://wikistack.com/no-space-left-on-device-android-studio/

This happens because, you dont have free space in the drive where you are creating your Emulator, try deleting few items of that drive and it would get launched, make sure you have 1 gb (for precautions) data free in the drive. It worked for me

Applications are not stored on the SD card, so that should not be a part of the equation. I've never seen a device fill upp like that, but just create a new virtual device, I guess...?

I encountered this issue as well. After recreating the AVD multiple times and still encountering the failure, I double-checked the size of the .apk. It had ballooned to 46MB because I accidentally included a set of camera images in the 'assets' folder. After removing those, the size dropped to <1MB. Make sure to double (and triple) check that you only have the files you need in the directory structure.

Setting the partition size, as indicated by Mudit Jain, fixed the problem of loading a 42MB apk for me as well. Setting the partition size is also discussed here.
