Black emulator on Building Android OREO on Linux 14.04 LTS

[Pranjal Nayak]

Hi All,

I have downloaded Android OREO code. (Branch - android-8.0.0_r4).

The code builds successfully but on opening the emulator the emulator shows with a black screen and never opens.

I get below messages while building.

cts/apps/CtsVerifier/Android.mk:72: warning: FindEmulator: find: `cts/apps/CtsVerifier/src/com/android/cts/verifier/backup': No such file or directory

build/core/java_common.mk:88: warning: FindEmulator: cd: cts/hostsidetests/appsecurity/test-apps/WriteExternalStorageApp/cts/hostsidetests/appsecurity/test-apps/WriteExternalStorageApp/res: No such file or directory

And the below on running command emulator

Your emulator is out of date, please update by launching Android Studio:

 - Start Android Studio

 - Select menu "Tools > Android > SDK Manager"

 - Click "SDK Tools" tab

 - Check "Android SDK Tools" checkbox

 - Click "OK"

My Lunch option is aosp_arm64-eng

Thanks for the help.

I need help too.

I have the exact same problem. I built android-8.0.0_r1 and android-8.0.0_r11 x86-eng on Ubuntu 14.04 and the both of them have same black emulator problem though the builds are sucessful.

If emulator source is still not stable, is there any way to run the built image on the emulator from standard Android SDK?

[Chih-Wei Huang]

You are not alone.
The emulator image built from 8.0.0 release
is totally broken. The issue is tracked in

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/66066209

You can follow the instructions to build a bootable
emulator image for 8.0. But it's far from stable
than SDK image download from Google.

There must be more patches to fix that.

Hi,
Thanks for the issue tracker link.I have gone through it.
How can I apply patches to AOSP source ?

I used the command :
patch -p1 < <Patch file>

But It produce following log and prompts  for File to patch :

=======================================
can't find file to patch at input line 75
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
.......
......
diff --git a/core/Makefile b/core/Makefile
|index f1a5b7f61..ba5bfac2d 100644
|--- a/core/Makefile
|+++ b/core/Makefile
--------------------------
File to patch:

What should I input in this scenario ?
