the android emulator does not start, avd

Question

this is my situation: I have a XPS under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit

I downloaded the latest Android SDK with eclipse. The SDK works fine, but when I create a new AVD and I run. My AVD loads but not displayed. I do not understand, do you have an idea about my problem ?

Thank's

I start my avd from command line :

Answer 1

Not the solution to the OP's exact problem, but to the "the android emulator does not start, avd" nevertheless.

Make sure there's nothing else competing for virtualization.

I had a headless Virtual Box image running and experienced similar behavior. It would show as started, but the emulator wasn't visible. The ./emulator -verbose -avd ... would just never finish.

Answer 2

You ran into the same problem that I did, outlined in this issue. Find your libOpenglRender.so in your SDK tools/ directory, and rename it to something else.

Answer 3

You need to be patient during first run. It takes a while to load.
