What is the reason for the error "Device supports x86, but APK only supports armeabi-v7a"

Question

I am playing around with Android Studio by testing some projects out from GitHub and when I try to emulate the apk, it does not let me choose an emulator.

It tells me:

Device supports x86, but APK only supports armeabi-v7a

Why does it do this?

Answer 1

I had the same problem, I checkout the build.gradle from module:app. It turns out that there's a such config:

    ndk {
        abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
    }

when I commented all out, everything worked fine.

I was trying to deal with the React Native Android project.

Answer 2

Turn off USB debugging and turn it back on the hardware device.

Answer 3

In Android Studio, select the Build menu,

then click Select Build Variant... and in 'Build Variants' window select x86Debug(or release)
