Android Emulator - the error message 'Unfortunately browser stopped working'

android, browser, emulation

Solution

Edit the Android Virtual Device settings inside your AVD manager that you are using and try starting your emulator with the "Use Host GPU" option enabled, this will help to fix your error with the browser.

For downloading files with the browser make sure you also add enough size to your SD Card option. After editing both settings, start Android and goto: Settings -> Apps -> Browser. (If needed force to stop the browser) then goto permission and enable storage permission to be enabled. This will fix your error with the browser when downloading files.

Problem

Whenever I click the browser icon in the android emulator; I get the error message 'Unfortunately, Browser stopped working'. I tried couple of AVDs; but no success. What exactly is wrong?
