Hello Everyone,


I created an android emulator using Android Studio for X86 cpu arch(CPU/ABI = X86_64) since it is very much faster on my mac or linux machines which are X86.

However I need to install an arm7 apk on it(third party apk) in additional to my application and it fails because the emulator is built for x86 with this error as expected. I can install my app alone because I built it for x86.

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS]

I don't have the source code to recompile the third party apk for X86 arch. In Genymotion we use an ARM translator and it works fine, however we are restricted to android AVD emulator for this specific use case.

Is there anything similar(ARM Translator) for the x86 AVD Android Emulators as well? I don't want to build the emulator for arm7 because it is 10x slower on my mac/linux machines.

Thanks very much.

Unfortunately we don't have any ARM translation technology compatible with Android Studio.

We understand the pain of running an ARM system image, and thus we recommend you find x86 versions of your third-party APKs or libraries instead.

you can try our emulator, it supports ARM on x86, as secondary ABI app. Free download is available here: http://www.leapdroid.com, compatible with Android studio, using the same adb port.
