I am trying to create an emulator to test my application,but I am getting the following error and my Emulator is just showing Black screen.

 Starting emulator for AVD 'AVD_for_Xperia_Z1_by_Sony'
Failed to create Context 0x3005

I google a lot to solve this issue,but none of them solved my issue.

Can anyone suggest me how to solve this issue and what exactly this error mean.

Answer 1

I copied the following files from \tools\lib to the tools folder:

libEGL_translator.dll

libGLES_CM_translator.dll

libGLES_V2_translator.dll

libOpenglRender.dll

and the problem solved.

Answer 2

Google this error, I found some ways to fix: (from code.google.com, stackoverflow.com, ...)

• Increase RAM for emulator
• Move DLL (4 files DLL name start with "lib") from directory "sdk\tools\lib" to "sdk\tools"
• Add SDK directory to PATH environment
• Run emulator-arm.exe instead of emulator.exe

But all not work for me!

Finally, i found other solution: update graphics driver
I update intel graphics drivers: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics (access via Internet Exporer)
And it works for me. Now i can run android emulator without error,

You can try to enable "Use host GPU" in emulator settings. Without normal GPU you can't run OpenGLES apps.
