I installed the latest version of the ADT Bundle 32 bit on my ubuntu 14.04 32 bit. I created an AVD, but it doesn't launch. When I press the start button it shows this message:

Starting emulator for AVD 'NexusOne' ERROR: 32-bit Linux Android emulator binaries are DEPRECATED, to use them you will have to do at least one of the following: - Use the '-force-32bit' option when invoking 'emulator'. - Set ANDROID_EMULATOR_FORCE_32BIT to 'true' in your environment. Either one will allow you to use the 32-bit binaries, but please be aware that these will disappear in a future Android SDK release. Consider moving to a 64-bit Linux system before that happens.

I tried to fix it by setting export ANDROID_EMULATOR_FORCE_32BIT=true to gedit .profile file and to gedit .bashrc file. Nothing changed.

Thank you for trying to help me!

  • You might have to log out and log back in for those to take effect. But it may also be tricky to get environment variables set on something launched from a GUI. Realistically, if you are running a 32-bit linux you are likely on an older system where the emulator will perform poorly (it does even on a recent system!) so you may be happier doing your testing on a physical device. Another option would be launching the emulator from the command line. – Chris Stratton Oct 21 '14 at 19:06
  • I tried to launch the emulator from the command line but it's the same problem. – user242918 Oct 21 '14 at 19:32
  • Did you add `-force-32bit` on your command line? What was your exact invocation? – Chris Stratton Oct 21 '14 at 19:35
  • I opened the terminal and went to eclipse directory. Then I ran this command: ./eclipse -force-32bit. Eclipse was launched as normally. But when I went to start the emulator it was the same problem as I described above. – user242918 Oct 22 '14 at 12:20
  • That's an argument to the emulator, not to eclipse. Start the emulator from the command line - eclipse should find it just like it does a device. But you will do much better with a device than an emulator. – Chris Stratton Oct 22 '14 at 12:26
  • @ChrisStratton Have you got the any solution about that!! – Zala Janaksinh Oct 29 '14 at 12:07

  • I also have the same problem :( – Gabriel Muñumel Oct 31 '14 at 22:19
  • It is crashing in the command line. I typed "emulator @Nexus7 -force-32bit" and, after a few seconds of the emulator screen showing an animated "Android" (white and gray in black background), I got "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" and the emulator quit. – Rodrigo Dec 20 '14 at 06:26

i have one great solution. you can start it with eclipse or netbeans. try :

  1. In Eclipse, click your Android project folder and then select Run > Run Configurations...

  2. In the left panel of the Run Configurations dialog, select your Android project run configuration or create a new configuration.

  3. Click the Target tab.

In the Additional Emulator Command Line Options field, enter:

-force-32bit

Run your Android project using this run configuration.

in netbeans you : 1. wher you choose debuger chose Customize...

  1. in Emulator options write -force-32bit
  2. click ok. and run application

I solve this problem with the following:

export ANDROID_EMULATOR_FORCE_32BIT=true

Then I start the emulator from the command line. It works!

Hope it's helpful to you.

  • This works for the command line, unfortunately does not when launching AVDs from the AVD Manager. It seems @user242918 wants to launch them from there – Jose_GD Nov 10 '14 at 14:44

For Android Studio:

Run > Edit Configurations > Android > Android Application > app > Emulator tab

Enable the checkbox next to Additional command line options:

Enter -force-32bit

create a shell script :

#!/bin/bash
#
#   set export ANDROID_EMULATOR_FORCE_32BIT=true

export ANDROID_EMULATOR_FORCE_32BIT=true
/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20140702/eclipse/eclipse

change the shell script executable and run it to active eclipse
"/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20140702/eclipse/eclipse" is the path of eclipse
