Getting the Android Simulater to work

Post by trags3 » Wed Jan 20, 2016 11:49 pm

Hi All,
After changing computers and having more than a year pass by,I'm now trying to get the Android Simulator to work again.
I am able to build an app without errors (for Android) but when I try to test it on the simulator it's a no go.
I viewed the video on you tube referenced by Heather and tried a simple app with a button just as in the video. the app gets installed on the simulator but "unexpectedly" quits.
I have tried "Sign for development only", and "do not sign" options in the stand alone settings both with the same result.
Help Please!

Tom

Are you certain you're using the right emulator setup? I had to spend a whole day working on it before I could get it to do anything worthwhile.

You need it to be 4.0.3, and ARM API. I also had to swap the 'Snapshot' option for the other one, I forget what it's called, Host GPU or some such? Other people have to do snapshot instead. God knows why, but that made it work for me.

Thanks A1Qicks
That works for me I didn't even have 4.0.3 installed had tried 4.1.
Oh the hoops one needs to jump through!
