[android-developers] Re: Does the Android emulator run inside a VM?

Thanks, 

Yeah, it does work if I choose WXGA; RAM 512, heap 64; against latest 4.4.2 ARM/x86 images. Does takes a long time to load.

I've used the emulator successfully inside a VirtualBox VM recently. But didn't use all the options you used, and a lower resolution. It is slow though.

Summary: Does the Android emulator run inside a VM? Or must it be run on a bare metal machine?

I am trying to setup some automated tests using Jenkins using the Android plugin. The slave is a VM (on top) of VMWare ESXi, running Ubuntu Linux (32 bit x86). When the emulator tries to start the VM, it shows an error "Failed to Initialize backend EGL display" and nothing happens.

Failed to Initialize backend EGL display

...

emulator: WARNING: Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, using software renderer.

I tried with different abi (x86|x86) and options (combinations of -noaudio -gpu off). All failing. I also tried to login to the console and launch the emulator manually. All I see is a black emulator window. The emulator process is actively running ('top' command), but I don't see the home screen.

Thanks,

Charles
