Ubuntu – Ubuntu 12.04: Andorid virtual device: Android virtual device not starting up

12.04androideclipse

Note: Earlier I had asked this question on stackoverflow , but got no responses, hence reposting it here.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 (x86-64 version) and recently downloaded the adt bundle (adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130917.zip) from Android site. Created several virtual devices from eclipse -> Window-> Android Virtual Device Manager. But the virtual devices are not starting
When I click start for any of the AVDs, a 'starting emulator' dialog box comes, the loading bar loads fully but nothing starts — even after considerable wait.

Tried to run the emulator (inside sdk/tools) from console:-

./emulator -avd <AVD_name>
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

However, when I run this, it throws error but emulator comes up.

./emulator64-arm -avd <AVD_name>
emulator: ERROR: Could not load OpenGLES emulation library: lib64OpenglRender.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
emulator: WARNING: Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, using software renderer.

What may be causing AVD to fail when invoked from Android Virtual Device Manager inside eclipse? Have anybody faced similar problems?

Best Answer

Suppose the tools folder is ~/Software/android-sdk-linux/tools

In the console, before running the emulator command do:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/Software/android-sdk-linux/tools/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./emulator64-arm -avd <AVD_name>

Now it should work...

adb

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386

aapt

sudo apt-get install zlib1g:i386

Ubuntu – Ubuntu is not detecting the android device

OK here are all the steps to get this to work. I had problems with all responses I found online, bits and pieces everywhere without any certain order and no single working solution, (running Android Studio, Jmonkey 3D, and Ubuntu 14.04)

If adb devices shows android device as ????????? (no permissions) follow these instructions:

create file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

copy and paste contents below:

Run the following command to change file permissions:
```
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
```
connect your phone via usb and run the following command:
```
lsusb
```
Look for your device(s) Example (Nexus 5):

Bus 003 Device 074: ID 18d1:4ee7 Google Inc.

For Nexus 5, Vendor ID is 18d1, mine is on Bus "003" If you don't see a change when you plug in your device with lsusb, perhaps your USB cable is charge-only.

Now reload the rules with the following commands:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo service udev restart
sudo udevadm trigger

Verify device is now allowing plugdev user group access

ls -l /dev/bus/usb/<bus number from step 4>

Example:

ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003
crw-rw-rw- 1 root plugdev 189, 329 Jul  3 18:23 074

Run adb devices to confirm permissions are correct and enjoy!

Note: if you haven't created the plugdev group and added your user name to it (if permission denied prepend "sudo" following commands):

Add plugdev group:
```
groupadd plugdev
```
Add your username to plugdev group (useradd -G {group-name} username):
```
useradd -G plugdev billy
```
Restart udev (you may need to log off and log back in to update user group):
```
sudo service udev restart
```
