Trying to run Android game using libgdx on Genymotion

Question

Anybody experienced with libgdx and genymotion?

I'm trying to get a libgdx game running on genymotion android emulator - http://www.genymotion.com/

Everytime I try to run on genymotion I get the following exception:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

Any Ideas?

Works fine with AVD

You should try to add the x86 native libraries to your libs folder as mentioned in this post

To use the x86 natives, simply copy the x86/ folder from the nightlies to your Android project’s libs/ folder (next to the armeabi and armeabi-v7a folder). The setup-ui will not add those libraries for you automatically. I opted to do it this way for the time being as x86 Android devices are super rare, and you’d just blow up the size of your APK unnecessarily.
