Android OpenGL apps stop working after being loaded in emulator

Question

My apps with OpenGL all don't work with "name has stopped working". This happens even with Android Sample Projects (BasicGLSurfaceView). When I load the projects into Cclipse and run them, they dont work, but if I run the emulator and select it through API Demos it works perfectly. Running newest Eclipse and API 14.0. This also happens with my apps which appear flawless

This is from BasicGLSurfaceView that was simply loaded into Eclipse and run

Answer 1

I was faced same problem... And finally when I Unchecked Both Options i.e. Use Host GPU as well as Store a snapshot for faster startup... That's it... It helps me... For More Details just See http://on-android-opengl2.blogspot.in/2013/05/android-opengl-es-20-emulator.html

Answer 2

The tip is: Don't use the emulator. Hook up the device that you use. There should be documentation on setting that up. After that, if the device is plugged in, it will show up when you start your app.

Answer 3

One year passed, but I hope I can help other unlucky guys!

You had forgot add the GPU emulation hardware property and set its value to yes in your emulation. Add them and try it.

Answer 4

With adt 19 and sdk 4.0.3 r3 the emulator now supports OpenGL.

Make sure when you setup the emulator in the Hardware properties you add GPU emulation and set the value to yes.

Answer 5

The problem is the same as here:

Android OpenGL ES 2.0 emulator

QUOTE:

As stated by Google itself, in the official Android documentation, the Android emulator does not support yet the OpenGL ES 2.0 features.

Please refer to this official document.

I hope this answers your question.
