Android Emulator Does Not Start

[PedroPretto]

Hi guys,

I'm running the docker-compose on Debian 9, and although the virtual environment does start, the android emulator doesn't.

I tried to run the command suggested in the Code session:
${ANDROID_HOME}/tools/emulator @Pixel -gpu off

But I had the following result:

I also tried to run the start-avd.sh, and obtained the following result:

And for last, I tried the entrypoint.sh script, but this happened:

Although I noticed that there already is an issue about this last script.

Am I not doing it properly?

Hope I provided all the needed information.
Thanks guys!

@PedroPretto can you try this fork and let me know if works thanks https://github.com/juliowerner/wa-avd-docker

Had the same result, then I ran the following command:
${ANDROID_HOME}/tools/bin/avdmanager create avd -n Pixel -k "system-images;android-26;google_apis;x86" -c 2000M

The first problem was solved, but still can't run the start-avd.sh, having the error below:

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!

"emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!"

@PedroPretto check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation if you are in ubuntu (HOST). Or in windows install Intel HAXM (if you have Intel)

NOTE: Some CPUs does not support Hardware Acceleration

i think you can run an ARM emulator instead of x86 emulator.
