Android Studio Emulator Mac M1

Posted on |

Introducing Best Android Emulators For PC! Now you can easily play games like PUBG, Call of duty, and many more without any hassle! Play on your Windows and Mac Laptops and enjoy your gameplay from. Update your environment variables: android-28 / android-30. Sdk can be installed on /Library/Android/sdk or /usr/local/ to be sure check it. Which sdkmanager.

This is the second post that I dedicate to talk about configurations using the new M1 Apple processor. As I said in the previous post, these configurations are workarounds until stable versions are released, however, for me, they have been useful and I guess that someone in the same situation as me can benefit from that.

Using Android studio in the new Macbook Air

When you install Android Studio you will get the following warning:

Unable to install Intel® HAXM

Your CPU does not support VT-x.

Unfortunately, your computer does not support hardware-accelerated virtualization.

Here are some of your options:

1 - Use a physical device for testing

2 - Develop on a Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor that supports VT-x and NX

3 - Develop on a Linux computer that supports VT-x or SVM

4 - Use an Android Virtual Device based on an ARM system image

(This is 10x slower than hardware-accelerated virtualization)

Creating Android virtual device

Android virtual device Pixel_3a_API_30_x86 was successfully created

And also in the Android virtual device (AVD) screen you will read the following warning:

If you want to learn more regarding virtualization in processors you can read the following Wikipedia article, the thing is that our M1 processor doesn’t support VT-x, however, we have options to run an Android Virtual Device.

As the previous message was telling us, we have 4 options. The easiest way to proceed is to use a physical device, but what if you haven’t one available at the moment you are developing?

From now on, we will go with the option of using an Android virtual device based on an ARM system image as options 2 and 3 are not possible to execute.

Using the virtual emulator

Android Studio Emulator Mac M1

The only thing that you have to do is to download the last available emulator for Apple silicon processors from Github https://github.com/741g/android-emulator-m1-preview/releases/tag/0.2

Once you have downloaded you have to right-click to the .dmg file and click open to skip the developer verification.

After installing the virtual emulator, we have to open it from the Applications menu.

After opening it you will see Virtual emulator in Android Studio available to deploy your Android application. Make sure to have Project tools available in Android Studio (View -> Tool Windows -> Project)

After pressing the launch button you will get your Android application running in your ARM virtual emulator :-)

Conclusion

In this post, we have seen that is possible to install Android Studio in Macbook Air M1 and use a virtual device even that your M1 doesn’t support VT-x. You can learn more about this emulator in the following references:

I am trying to compile Libpcap in the Android Studio,

  • Trying to run periodic code in background of flutter

    I am working on a app where a requirement is to run a piece of code periodically every half hr. The code must be triggered/invoked using push notification sent from FCM.

    Now the question if the user has closed the app in background and since the code must run on background without user involvement. Can a push notification be used to trigger a code and the notification stays hidden from the user.

    Or a completely new approach should be taken like looking into scheduling method likehttps://pub.dev/packages/cron

  • Firebase Storage URL error due to invalid Token - Android

    I'm having trouble retrieving the icon´s images from Firebase Storage to my Xamarin.Android app because the (Dynamic) Token that is appended to the URL of the images eventually changes (for security reasons).

    The icons in the app are loaded using FFImageLoading, but when passing the static link (uri) that is stored in the source code, the ImageView does not show the icons because the token expired (it is no longer valid).

    Image link example in Firebase Storage (uri):

    Expired token that is at the end of the URL (uri) mentioned above:

    Reading Image in ImageView with FFImageLoading:

    Question:How can this be resolved?

    Is it possible that the Firebase Storage URL is static (i.e. not constantly changing)?

    Or How do I get a new valid Token?

    (Can´t find much info regarding this issue and Xamarin Android, so any tip will help.)

  • Why can't I see my layout in a NativeActivity?

    Using the NDK Simple_Teapot example as a guide, I created a Java Activity derived from NativeActivity, and then had my C++ NDK code grab its window and initialize VULKAN into that window.

    It's unclear why my layout.xml widgets never show up on the screen. Are there any undocumented tricks to getting this to work?

  • build.gradle: commandLine task failed due to 'No such file or directory'

    tl;dr
    Problem: On my Mac using Android Studio, running a bash script task in gradle failed due to 'No such file or directory' error even though the file is there.

    Background:
    I'm building an Android app using Android Studio on my Mac, and the app needs to build a C SDK which I use NDK with CMake for that. In my APP_FOLDER/app/build.gradle, I'm trying to run a script before building the CMake for NDK. This is the desired build order:

    The reason to run the script before CMake is because the script would set up a value that the CMake would use.

    Here's my app/build.gradle

    Problem:
    The script cannot run due to errors. Here's the error I received when building from Android Studio:

    However, the file is at location:

    Any idea why it happens? Not sure if it's related, but the default shell on my Mac is zsh. Been stuck on this for a couple days and any help is appreciated.

  • How To Install Libpcap With C language Windows 10 - problems with user manual

    I am currently experiencing a lot of problems with installing libraries on my Computer [ libpcap if we are being specific ] . I am a beginner when it comes to C language and I have never installed any library with it since installing libraries with Python for example requires one-liner. I just spent few hours trying to get libpcap to work with Windows 10 and I still have 0 idea on how it works.

    Here is some info on the development environment that I am working in:

    • I have MinGW MinGW-W64-builds-4.3.5
    • gcc version 8.1.0
    • I am running the code by holding ctrl-alt-n with 'Code Runner' in VScode and I have 0 idea on how to work with manifest, makefile, json, building tasks etc. [ idk if these terms are even relevant I just heard about them online lol so pls keep that in mind when explaining ]

    I have tried [and failed] :

    • manually copy-pasting libcap in mingw lib folder
    • the 'manual' that is in the file is really not helping me as it is saying that I need to run './configure' which doesn't work for me [ I mean there is configure file with no extension if that means anything ]
    • I have tried adding #include <E:programmingMinGWpcappcap.h> in the c script that I am developing but its giving me the fatal error: pcap/pcap.h: No such file or directory #include <pcap/pcap.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated.

    I have literary run of of things to try and I have spent a lot of time just moving stuff around the files and googling similar problems with no idea of what I am actually doing so you are my only hope. Thanks!

  • How to make libpcap be found by pkg-config

    I'm trying to adjust the dependencies of a software that requires libpcap to be installed, but for some reason it cannot find it.

    This software uses pkg-config to try to find the dependency libpcap, and I can see libpcap-dev is installed, and so does libpcap0.8:

    dpkg -s libpcap-dev:

    dpkg -s libpcap0.8

    I also can see the shared library exists ldconfig -p | grep libpcap:

    But pkg-config --modversion libpcap still cant find it. I also looked up all $PKG_DIR_PATH available, none of them has a libpcap.pc config file.

    This is what I'm trying to build: https://github.com/martinpitt/umockdev

    I have no idea on how can I inform pkg-config about the existence of libpcap.

  • Npcap - pcap_findalldevs() return

    So I want to implement a sniffer using pcap in C++ (Windows). I am getting all the devices with pcap_findalldevs and the docs say that for the next step which is pcap_open_live I should pass the first dev from the list returned by pcap_findalldevs (which is WAN Miniport(Network Monitor)).

    To find a default device on which to capture, call pcap_findalldevs() and, if the list it returns is not empty, use the first device in the list. (If the list is empty, there are no devices on which capture is possible.)

    By doing that the device does not capture anything. For that reason I am picking a device manually and if I pick any of the WAN Miniports they do not capture anything and if I pick the Realtek or Adapter loopback device they capture packets.

    My question is how can I determine which device to pick in the code, not manually
