'Cannot install .apk file on emulator
The Issue:
I'm using Android Studio on Win8 platform to develop my new android application. I can upload and install the apk on my physical device (Samsung Galaxy S4-mini Dous) with no problem. But, when I want to upload and install it on Emulator, it gets stock and wait for ever!
What I have done:
- I used Eclipse to see if the issue is related to Android Studio, but the same result.
- I increased the ADB connection timeout value; no success.
- I used adb in command-line mode tp install the package; no success again.
- Searched through StackOverflow site (and some other sites) to see if there is any answer to similar issue, didn't help.
My Situation:
Actually AVD is needed to run some optimization tools (which is not working for physical devices). I would appreciate if somebody can help me fixing this issue.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

I came up against this recently. Turns out I was running out of internal storage on my emulator. Edited the configuration and increased internal storage and it worked.
Solution 2:[2]
Try different emulators, using different versions of Android, and different versions of the processor architecture. And of course, there must be enough space on the emulator.
It helped me.
There may also be problems accessing the file.
On Mac view permission (in terminal): ls -@ fileName.apk
On Mac change permission (in terminal): chmod 777 fileName.apk
