What Android Virtue Device works with LC 8.0.2 on Apple 10.1?

I have been trying different AVDs for about 3 hours and I have Not got any to work.

I have Android SKD builds 19.1, 20, 21.1.2, 22.0.1, 23, 24.0.2, 25.1.7 and several others from 2.2 and up.

Every time I start the AVD I get an error about that the qemu does not support SMP.

Is there a link that describes how to setup the AVD?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David

I just searched and found this:

Also make sure you have updated the SDK tools.

Jacque,

I went to the link you sent me and tried several things.

Please see attachments and please make any suggestions.

Thanks You,

David

Hi David,

I seem to remember having a similar problem in the past with my Macbook Air, and I think I had to change the CPU to one of the "ARM" processor choices...but it was very, very slow...which is a known issue with the Android emulators (and it's why I try to always use Genymotion for Android whenever possible, although I have no idea if LiveCode works with Genymotion).

There's also a thread on StackOverflow that mentions this very thing of having to change the CPU in the AVD setup screen to ARM instead of Atom x86 (sorry, unable to post the link in this thread...I don't have permissions). I just did a search via Google with "android x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration".

Hope that helps, and if it doesn't I hope you find your answer soon.

Cheers,

David

Search the LC lessons for "android emulator": http://lessons.livecode.com/searches?ut ... mit=Search

There are two related lessons, "how do I become an android developer on a Mac" and "how do I become an android developer on a PC". Since you are on a Mac, follow those directions. The AVD image is a little hard to read, so if it isn't helpful enough switch over to the PC lesson where the setup screen shot is larger and clearer.

See if that helps.

Jacque,

That seems to work.

Thanks
