Emulator 29.3.6 Canary
Friday, January 17, 2020
Emulator 29.3.6 is now available in the Canary and Dev channels. Changes:
It is now possible to connect to the emulator telnet console via IPv6.
Fixed race condition in screen recorder.
Screen recording now also stops if it was happening during
adb emu kill
.
Addressed ADB authentication failure when the private key in
~/.android
is deleted but the public key does not match the private key, via noticing the situation, recreating the key, and triggering "Accept incoming connections" popup (Note that the
-wipe-data
flag will reinstall ADB keys).
Fixed undefined behavior in JDWP interceptor's readValFromBuffer (
Details
)
Added a command line option,
-use-host-vulkan
, to use software rendering for when the guest uses GLES via Swiftshader, but force hardware (host GPU) rendering for when the guest uses Vulkan.
Added support for passthrough graphics via virtio-gpu (This will also require a system image update).
Added example in the source code of how to use the emulator gRPC interface with Java (
Details
).
