[android-developers] Re: How to enable 24/32 bit color depth in the emulator (android 2.3.3)?

Unfortunately, that is not an option.

If it's such a critical feature you may not want to rely on the emulator. Rather get a 2.3.x  development device.

The code I looked at was probably outdated. The code in [1] suggests that goldfish does support HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_8888.

Does this also apply to the android kernel?

I started to dig through the emulator code and stumbled over (android_sdl.c):

static void

emulator_display_set_display( EmulatorDisplay*  disp,

                              DisplayState*     ds,

                              int               w,

                              int               h )

{

    ds->depth  = 16;

    ds->bgr    = 0;

    ds->width  = w;

    ds->height = h;

    ds->opaque = disp;

    disp->ds   = ds;

...

This seems to imply that the emulator is really fixed to 16 bit colors. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks so much

Hey guys,

we are experiencing dithering artifacts in the emulator. Most probably due to 16 bit colors - see [1] for an example.

Thus we tried to enable true colors by inserting "hw.lcd.depth=32" in the config.ini file.

Strangely, this works for 4.x, but doesnt do the trick in 2.3.x.

This is a very critical feature for our current project and we are running out of ideas ...

If anyone has any suggestions we would be ever so grateful.

Thanks so much!
