Apps Hardware Acceleration and Heap Size Errors ??????

[ac4android]

I seem to have the most unusual error. My A/S 1.5.1 has been working fine with x86_64 emulation until a big, recent update from Android Studio.

I have been using org.apache.http.legacy t0 connect to a remote MySQL server and I am getting this error about the VM heap size:

In AVD Manager, I've been wiping data and then cleaned and rebuilt the project, but the error persists. I suspect it might have to do with my build.gradle (Module.app);

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.buildersdelivery.testhttpconnection"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.1'

}

What have I done ( or not done ) and what must I do now?

Do I find and download a new version of HAXM?

What is HAXM?

Do I find and download a new version of HAXM?

It's worth a try isn't it, given the error message?
Download 6.0.1 from here

"Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel® HAXM) is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor) that uses Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) to speed up Android* app emulation on a host machine. In combination with Android x86 emulator images provided by Intel and the official Android SDK Manager, Intel HAXM allows for faster Android emulation on Intel VT enabled systems."

I also installed one app to my phone, and I only put one background image, and the size is only 1000*600, when I shake the phone, then it grow heaps, and after some time, the app crashes by heap allocation. But when I unplug my phone with computer, then there's no issue with it. It's an app with GPS info and address.

I installed the new HAXM and the problem went away.
