Testing on Android Virtual Device Manager

totebo

Hi guys,

I've managed to break both my Android tablets to the point they don't actually work as testing devices. I thought AVD would be a cheap option to see that the game runs, but after a lot of tinkering I haven't been able to successfully launch it. The emulator either doesn't start or the game crashes immediately (with an error saying something about not finding the correct architecture). Of course I've installed the correct architecture, and all files that SHOULD make it work.

Have you successfully used AVD to test your game? Would love to hear of success stories on Android, in light of how very easy it is to do this in XCode.

I'm on a Mac.

Cheers,

Niclas

As far as I remember @atilim always said that Gideros is not suitable for running on emulators. Probably because of missing architecture (binaries are not compiled for emulator architecture, but I also don't know if they could even be compiled or not)

Thanks guys. I have the host GPU checkbox ticked. Looks like I have to get another Nexus 7. I've almost spent the same amount in Android devices as my iPad Mini now!
