Android: Emulator fails to start with FullHD resolution being set [closed]

Question

I need to test an android application on FullHD resolution screen (1920x1080). I've tried different Android SDK versions: 2.1, 2.2, 3.0 with no luck. Every time I try to start an emulator with the resolution being set, it just hangs and shows a black screen permanently. Does anyone have an idea how to test an application on 1920x1080?

Answer 1

I tried the setting of resolution 1920x1080. The DDMS show that the underlying bootstrap module tries to start the system again and again. However, every time the system tries to initialize something related to graphics hardware, is crashes.

04-19 10:06:42.235: INFO/SurfaceFlinger(241): SurfaceFlinger's main thread ready to run. Initializing graphics H/W...

Which comes along with a mass of memory leak messages.

As a result, such a setting causes memory leak, just try other resolutions.
