Emulator not running OpenGL app which messages "Unfortunately, OpenGL ES 2.0 Basic has stopped"

Question

I have obtained an example of OpenGl through the developer site.

My problem is that it doesn't run the application.

Here is my logcat:

What I have tried:

• I searched online and found someone able to do it by setting up GPU emulation as yes
• Updated my AVD emulator

How my emulator is setup:

• Target-4.1.2. - API Level 16
• ARM(armeabi-v7a)
• Size: 1000mib
• Skin: Default(WVGA800)
• Hardware: MaxVm:48 ; Abstracted LCD density:240; Device ram size:512; GPU emulation:yes;

Can someone help me fix this issue?

I want to add that I am using Eclipse and I tried re-installing everything(Eclipse and SDK) still no luck.

Answer 1

Emulator GPU pass-through is not stable, I recommend using a real device. It randomly crashed my OpenGL ES 2.0 apps on both Win7 (Intel GPU) and Ubuntu (nVidia GPU).

As you see it reports that it can't detect OpenGL and falls back to software renderer.
