Android AndEngine: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No EGLConfig found

Question

I'm doing a REALLY simple app, a basic hello world to test AndEngine and I am currently having some problems when running it: I set my emulator properties as RealMayo suggests in his videos and it should work but I get this error instead

07-23 13:10:23.014: E/AndroidRuntime(1485): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No        EGLConfig found!

Anyone has encountered the same situation, or may know how to solve it?

I am almost tempted to not us AndEngine at all... as a simple app has been really difficult to run.

NOTE: I have found some posts but they are at least 3 months old and the use of emulators has been fixed not long ago.

Anyways Thank you! :)

make sure your AVD is at least Android version 4.0.3

see this thread http://www.andengine.org/forums/gles2/api-level-t8230.html

Select AVD version is 4.0.3 and check Use Host GPU , its woking for me on 4.0.3 emulator. Please go through below site it will help you to set in GPU Host on old AVD and updated AVD. – Ravikumar11 May 08 '13 at 10:00

just to add a small addition to the answer above (answer #1): make sure along creating an AVD with API level 15 (Android 4.0.3), that imported AndEngine library's project target is also built with Android 4.0.3. To validate: right click on AndEngine library in eclipse project, choose "properties", in the left pane of opened window click on "Android" label; in right pane verify that "Android 4.0.3" checkbox is checked. If "Android 4.0.3" option is not listed there, just import it with Android SDK Manager.

The comment from Ravikumar11 about GPU helped me get this resolved.

Additionally, I had to:

Update the SDK with all options for my current API (17) and the general tools (binary downloads that are not API-specific)
As eclipse suggests after SDK update, run Check for Updates in eclipse and a bunch of stuff gets loaded subsequently

From there, I was able to run my AndEngine app in the emulator
