Emulator 29.1.12 Canary

piatok 30. augusta 2019

Fixed an issue that could lead to INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT on older API levels when installing APKs.

Vulkan apps are now available by default on Android API 29 and later images (depending on host GPU support; some GPUs and driver versions excluded due to GPU/driver specific issues).

Note: macOS host GPU Vulkan is not currently supported well, so it is disabled by default. Running with Vulkan Swiftshader is limited due to currently unavailable external memory/semaphore extensions.

Emulator 29.1.10 Canary, Android Q Beta 6 System Images - Multi-Display Support

piatok 16. augusta 2019

Improved Android Q Vulkan 1.1 CTS conformance. Full conformance work is done but not yet released and will require a future release of the Android Q system image.

Fixed an issue where Android Q Beta 6 would fail to start up when using the WHPX hypervisor.

Due to issues using snapshots with WHPX, snapshot save is now always skipped when using WHPX. We recommend deleting ~/.android/avd/avdName.avd/snapshots when on WHPX for now.

hw.display2.flag = 0version 9 of the Android Compatibility Definition Document 120 <= dpi <= 640
320 * (dpi / 160) <= width
320 * (dpi / 160) <= height

If xOffset and yOffset are both -1, the emulator automatically computes the layout for each display. If setting other values, note that the origin is the top left corner of the main window. The flag field is reserved for future use.

To configure multiple displays through the UI, click right toolbar →

(the more items icon) → Settings, and configure the additional displays there. The maximum number of supported displays is ten.

Emulator 29.1.8 Canary

piatok 2. augusta 2019

Support for a wider range of keyboards. Previously the emulator would only pass a narrow range of keycodes to the guest, corresponding to a US QWERTY keyboard. This made it difficult to use the emulator with non-US keyboards.

To address this, we now pass through all native keycodes from the user's machine and translate them to the relevant Linux keycode.

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/65338182

Fixed an issue on macOS where Ctrl-C would not kill emulators launched from the command line.

Fixed an issue on macOS where SIGTERM was being ignored (and kill <emu-pid> would not gracefully exit the emulator).

Fixed an issue where numbers entered via numpad entry would not be recognized on the emulator. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/135141621

Fixed crash when opening the Performance Stats window twice.
