find android ABI value

Question

I'm trying to debug an android application that a user has reported a particular problem with. I have created a virtual device but when it comes to the ABI version I'm lost as how to find out the version the mobile is using (if the mobile even uses this!).

(it doesn't help that I don't really know what this means / is used for)

Is there a way to find if the devices is using (armabi-v7a, x86, x86_64, x86(googleAPIs).

Any help is appreciated.

As stated in Determining Supported Processor Types (ABIs) for an Android Device:

• Pre-Lollipop: From terminal type adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi
• Lollipop and higher: From terminal type adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abilist
