Hi @dreamingincode... Hope you're well. I pulled an update here recently, and it started failing to run like this:

$ emulator -avd myimg
[140373027645248]:ERROR:android/android-emu/android/qt/qt_setup.cpp:28:Qt library not found at ../emulator/lib64/qt/lib
Could not launch '/home/ulidtko/../emulator/qemu/linux-x86_64/qemu-system-x86_64': No such file or directory

However, this works:

$ ( cd /opt/android-sdk/emulator/; ./emulator -avd myimg; )

Can this be helped? I can try to whip up some wrapper launcher script and send it as a patch, if that's OK with you.

Additionally, I somehow have 2 different emulator binaries:

$ ls -lh /opt/android-sdk/{tools,emulator}/emulator
Permissions Size User Date Modified Name
.rwxr-xr-x   12M root  7 Dec  1:02  /opt/android-sdk/emulator/emulator
.rwxrwxr-x@ 625k root 24 Jun  2019  /opt/android-sdk/tools/emulator

— very different in size, but seem to function equivalently (even the CWD-dependence bug is the same). Is this expected? I've got android-sdk installed (from your AUR) too. Which one is best to use in a wrapper script? I want to be able to launch the emulator from any CWD.

Re aquatic7: makepkg worked fine for me locally and I checked the checksums in PKGBUILD v.s. manually running sha1sum, both are correct. Maybe you did have a bad download?

Hi @Erz3,

Please follow the instructions on the Arch Wiki. As this is not an instructions or support channel I won't help you here. Please ask your questions on more suitable platforms.

Hi everyone.

I am not developer and I am not an exeperienced Linux user, so forgive me if my question is stupid.

I was looking for an Android emulator to run mobile games, but I have installed "android-emulator" and I don't know how to work with it.

Thanks in advance.

emulator 30.6.1 is still in another channel (channel-3, seems to be canary chacnnel) as of writing. See https://dl.google.com/android/repository/repository2-1.xml . Please only flag this package out of date when there's an update on channel-0 (the stable channel).

android-emulator 30.3.5 crashes with SIGSEGV for me due to sysconf(_SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE) returning -1, whereas qemu expects it to return 0 in case of failure. This is actually fixed in latest qemu, but android-emulator 30.3.5 comes with outdated qemu.

To fix the issue, one needs to patch the /opt/android-sdk/emulator/qemu/linux-x86_64/qemu-system-aarch64 binary and modify bytes starting at offset 0x4e5641 to bb 40 00 00 00 89 d8 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90.

This is equivalent to inserting the following instructions (followed by a bunch of nops) in place of the calls to sysconf.

8e5641     mov         ebx, 40h
8e5646     mov         eax, ebx

Upgrading to 30.0.26 still showing the version is 30.0.12

I personally didn't see those warnings, and if this is not related to AUR packaging you might want to ask it somewhere else.

Regarding "-bin", I didn't see any official guideline/requirement saying that packages not built from source code must have that suffix. (See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_naming ), and currently none of all the Android SDK packages have that suffix. If people actually use Android SDK built from source, we might be able to move all the Android SDK packages into official repo. I'll be happy to rename this package for disambiguation in that case.
