Description

*This is not a regression, it occurs in 2.0.2 as well* *Note* Pre-testing requirements: Make sure that you have both of the currently available x86 emulators installed (currently available for API r15 and r10). They can be retrieved through the android package management tool. For testing to provide the correct results you must install both currently available Intel x86 emulators. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a default project in Ti Studio making sure Android is enabled 2. From the command line run the following, where $TITANIUM_SDK is the directory where your Titanium mobile SDK is installed, and $ANDROID_SDK is the directory where the Android SDK is installed

$TITANIUM_SDK/android/avd.py $ANDROID_SDK

3. Verify that you have and ABI value of [armeabi-v7a, x86] for the 4.0.3 SDK. If you do not, you haven't installed the x86 emulators. 4. Run the following command from the directory where you created your project $TITANIUM_SDK and $ANDROID_SDK are as above. $APP_NAME and $APP_ID are the name of your application and the ID of it (e.g. com.appcelerator.test) respectively. $EMU_ID should be the emulator ID which can be found from the output of the previous step in the 'id' field of the avd output

$TITANIUM_SDK/android/builder.py emulator $APP_NAME $ANDROID_SDK pwd $APP_ID $EMU_ID "HVGA" x86 ""

*See actual result* 5. Run the following command just as above except with armeabi-v7a

$TITANIUM_SDK/android/builder.py emulator $APP_NAME $ANDROID_SDK pwd $APP_ID $EMU_ID "HVGA" armeabi-v7a ""

*See actual result* Actual result: *Note* if adb returns 0 devices/emulators try launching the emulator in Studio first The following error is produced:

Reopening issue. Tested on: Titanium Studio, build: 2.1.0.201206221045 Titanium SDK: 2.1.0.v20120622174154 Not able to run the Android x86 and armeabi-v7a emulators for 2.3.3 and 4.0.3 from the command line. Getting an error message: "emulator: Failed to open the hax module. HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode 2012-06-23 14:38:44.373 emulator-x86[54916:1107] Warning once: This application, or a library it uses, is using NSQuickDrawView, which has been deprecated. Apps should cease use of QuickDraw and move to Quartz."

If you are testing on Windows you will need to install XAXM to run the x86 emulator image. See this [guide](http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html#accel-vm) for details.

There are two issues here: 1. Command line MUST include the empty argument 2. See the original ticket TIMOB-9170 for information about how HAX does not work on machines which support it. There is no further issue to resolve. This is a testing problem or a misreport. These messages are printed with every run of the emulator. Note that only the *emulator* launches, *not the application*.

Based on Stephen's comment, we will close this.
