I've made some Android emulator device, and try to execute it. I've got the following errors:

02-18 05:46:39.070        99-99/? E/SurfaceFlinger﹕ ERROR: failed to open framebuffer (No such file or directory), aborting

How can I fix it? My device doesn't run. Thanks in advance.

While creating emulator check the option "Use Host GPU" at the bottom and try.. For those who cannot find the "Use Host GPU" please refer to:'Snapshot' and 'Use Host GPU' options missing from AVD settings

I'd just like to add to

Make sure that your TARGET API of your project is the same as your EMULATOR's version.

E.g If your project is targetting 4.4.2 then make sure your emulator is set to 4.4.2 :)

Try it in Ubuntu 14.04

  1. Install JDK 7
  2. Install SDK Manager
  3. Install Android Studio
  4. Create Virtual Device using AVD Manager

Enjoy it!
