warning : failed to open temp file

The first thing that you will need to install is HAXM from Intel, here's the link https://software.intel.com/en-us/an...-execution-manager-end-user-license-agreement

One to thing worth mentioning, avoid using the emulator, it is very slow, it's better to use a real device or an alternate emulator, but a real device is always recommended.

The AVDs included in the new B4A are seriously fast on my laptop @NJDude, but that's on my machine which is already fast in the first place. If HAXM is working correctly there shouldn't be a problem with speed, well not unless there's a low memory issue.

By default I do use real devices via B4A-Bridge, but for testing different screen sizes I use the emulator. The original older emulator is as slow as a snail, actually I would probably say that a snail is faster than the old emulator, but not the newer emulator

thanks,

The intel files worked for the AVD problem. Now I will test the new B4A install.
