Howto run an android project using an emulator

Troubleshooting General Help
1

I created an android project (for the first time) and compiling works, but then it asks “Select device” and there’s nothing I can select,

how do I setup an android emulator?

You can do some basic stuff in the Android Emulator from Google, but don’t expect too much from it.



You have do the following things:

  • Create an AVD with a system image of Android 4.1.x.
  • Set the parameter hw.gpu.enable=yes.



    The BasicGame template works fine, but the terrain examples won’t work for me.



    I’m eager to see your results with the Android Emulator from Google. I hope you post it in this thread.

    Edit: NiftyGUI works too, but without the fading effects.

Ah, with the Android SDK you can create AVDs.

They work perfectly, altho they are quite slow compared to normal smartphones.
