i had some issues with running the emulator on my pc.
after the eclipse window "Starting emulator for AVD 'xxx'" openend up, nothing happened.
i was frustrated.
so what i did was running the emulator from the command line
(where xxx is the name of the virtual machine, without the .avd ending)
"segmentation fault".
of course.
i tried it with
and then it crashed after "OpenGLES" stuff. misleading.
what solved my problem was this
yay!
a virtual cellphone.
since i was not able to find a proper way of adding the command line parameter -force-32bit to eclipse, i simply moved away the emulator64-* files as a workaround.
a quick check
later, i reopened eclipse, reopened the android virtual device manager, clicked on "Start" aaaand i saw a virtual smartphone booting up.
